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.Commander of Awesome;1833991 wrote:I think they're bored.

Lue is absolute garbage. I give him 0% credit for the Cavs winning it all last year.Commander of Awesome;1834011 wrote:That's on lue, gotta be smarter than that. Total fuckwad last night.
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.

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

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?like_that;1834191 wrote: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.

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.sleeper;1834199 wrote: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?

What has Lue shown you that makes you go "Oh, this guy is a good coach".Heretic;1834201 wrote:I guess if the team actually had lost 5 of the last 6, you might have a point...

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.

- 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 BlattCommander of Awesome;1834214 wrote:Two things here:

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.
