With Swin Cash out for the season, Detroit seems to be on the verge of completing the worst-to-first-to-worst cycle.

"We did not take care of business early in the season," coach Bill Laimbeer said. "We got caught up in some injuries and let the rest of the Eastern Conference hang around."

The Shock have only two game left: tonight against the Lib and Sunday against Charlotte. Both games are at home, and Detroit will probably need to win both to sneak into the playoffs.
