With the Cleveland Cavaliers' recent additions of Anthony Parker and Delonte West, Daniel Gibson's minutes have been cut down. Still, when starting point guard Mo Williams went down for a few weeks with an injury back in February, Daniel Gibson stepped up. With Gibson in the starting lineup because of Williams' injury, he helped the Cavaliers go on a 13 game winning streak. Mo Williams' return cut back Daniel Gibson's minutes once more, but his contributions during that winning streak showed that he still has a great deal of value to the Cavaliers.
