Cavaliers forward J.J. Hickson has been coming off the bench as of late, something that doesn't sit well with him.

"I'm not adjusting very good," Hickson said. "I don't think it's any secret. Coach [Byron Scott] knows I'm not happy. My teammates know I'm not happy. But as a professional basketball player, you deal with it as a pro."

Hickson wasn't pleased with how the demotion was handled.

"The night I didn't start I didn't know I wasn't going to start until 30 seconds before we went out to go warm up," he said.

Hickson is second on the Cavaliers in rebounding and has scored a 31 points in a game this season.
