LeBron James knows the numbers don?t lie.

After the Cavaliers dropped a 92-86 decision to the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night for their eighth loss in nine games, James summed up the obvious.

?We?re not playing very good basketball,? he said. ?Right now, we?re not a very good team.?

James, the NBA?s leading scorer, and Drew Gooden led Cleveland with 21 points apiece. The Cavaliers lost six straight while James was out with a sprained finger. Cleveland rolled to a blowout win over Indiana when James returned to the lineup but has lost the next two.

?Right now, we?re reeling a bit because of the losses,? Cleveland coach Mike Brown said. ?We?ve got to fight through it and find a way to get it done.?
