I think Lebron is actually frustrated that he has to play so many minutes on the most expensive roster ever. Lebron wants his 2 week vacation this year just like he had in previous years and with the way the Cavs are playing, there's no way he's going to get that AND get the number one seed.

Lue is absolute garbage. I give him 0% credit for the Cavs winning it all last year.

I'll take him over Mike Brown though.

They need to cut LeBron's minutes and post ASG is the right time to do it. There is no reason why he is leading the league in MPG.

Disagree, two weeks ago was the right time to do it on the west coast trip.

Yep. I was on a similar stance too.

He's not in top 10 minutes is he...but leading in minutes per game.

Agree with this.

Poor coaching. Lue should be out of a job.

Sleeper needs to grow up and find a new act outside of his failed hot takes. Way too predicable and has lost its entertainment value.

So you think Lue is a good coach losing 5 of the last 6 with the most expensive roster ever and LBJ on the team?

I guess if the team actually had lost 5 of the last 6, you might have a point... No, wait, they did win it all last year and only a fucking idiot firing a coach coming off a championship because of January struggles.

What has Lue shown you that makes you go "Oh, this guy is a good coach".

Nothing. He's only a coach because he defers to Lebron on everything. You're kidding yourself if you think there isn't an issue with how the current roster is being managed.

Two things here:

- He doesn't defer to LBJ, that's been reported on heavily. One of his strengths was calling out LBJ last season for being a bitch boy.
- If he did defer to LBJ as you said, seems to work. NBA Champs if you recall.

Nice logic fail on both accounts tweedledee.

He definitely defers to LBJ. If LBJ wants him gone, he will be gone tomorrow. See: David Blatt

Reality.

Haha, Cavs rejected Melo for Love deal. I love it. That would be a nightmare.

Helluva meltdown by Sleeper going on. Nice to see it translate to all threads.

Lebron moved the needle, but I'm sure the deal made will be out of the blue, not made from another team approaching them.

Cleveland is in real trouble if they can't beat the Kings. They have to cut Lebrons minutes down, he's going to be out of gas by April

I didn't get the chance to watch....how'd they lose? Box score shows me equal rebounds, assists....Lebron, Love, Kyrie, Shump, Korver, Frye all played pretty well offensively

Kings had 13 more FG attempts...turnovers amuck or what?

Granted JR is pretty solid defensively, and can get real hot offensively and he'll help when he comes back....but this team's defense overall is hot garbage. 0 interior d, not good at all on rotations, just bad. Lebron looks not good either on D during this stretch. Now, I think some of this has to do with him being tired, but eesh this doesn't look like a championship team, let alone a beating the Raptors 4/7 games right now. Good news is...it's January 25th. Still beats those years of trotting out Gibson, Hickson, and Parker.
