David Griffin insists that the Cleveland Cavaliers will learn from the mistakes that have been made this season.

David Griffin, the acting general manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers, has insisted that the franchise will fully recover from what has become a disappointing season.

The Cavaliers were tipped by many to qualify for the playoffs, but those hopes are quickly fading due to a 17-33 record this campaign.

"Sure, this isn't an easy situation. I'd be lying if I said it was. I can promise you this, it's one I'm very prepared for," Griffin told reporters.

"No-one in this organization is comfortable with the place we find ourselves in, nor satisfied. I want to see us enjoy this. I want to see us remember this is a game.

"I want to see us remember that there's passion involved in this. We're not robots. Nobody is flawless. We've all made mistakes. I want guys to accept making one and then move on."

Griffin was named acting general manager last week after Chris Grant was sacked.
