This is absolutely true. He hasn't won anything. He also hasn't been labeled "MVP" or "Franchise builder" either.

When Redick is hitting the Clippers never lose. Can't let him score again....but still have to guard everyone else

Embarrassing defense. Literally every single Clippers player shot well except for Griffin but then he had 11 assists

Cavs need a little humble pie. Rather it happen early in the season than during the playoffs.

What will it take for the media to start freeking out and coming up with team drama this season? I'd say if we saw a 5 game slide, you'd start seeing the "Love to Boston?!?!?" or "Lebron hates Kyrie!!!" headlines.

Admittedly, I'm much less worried this year compared to last couple. A championship will do that for you. Buys you a lot of grace.

Other than watching the games for the entertainment sake, couldn't care less about December basketball. Or January or February for that matter.

Haven't watched many of the games so far, but what the hell is wrong with the Cavs during this 3 game losing streak? Seems like they don't play much defense.

No defense and kinda going thru the motions.

LeBron needs to put a stop on the losing next game.

Kyrie sat out last night's game. They said on the telecast that he was playing tonight but that may have changed. Maybe the NBA should do away with back to back games.

All 3 are out. I really hate these Hottakes by the media that aren't associated with the team at all. 1)KI said his legs feel dead. 2)Love's lower back is bothering him. 3)Lebron has more minutes on his body than any other player, and it's not even close. But yes, by all means...let's force them to play so that THE OPPOSING TEAM can benefit and sell tickets. Wanna sell tickets? Have a better home team, don't rely on the away team to bring in money for you.

Also, let's force them to play the back end of a back-to-back in mid-December...because it's such an important game.

Mcshay posted his first mock. He has the browns taking Johnathan Allen and Takkarist McKinley.

He has only one QB (the dude from UNC) going in the first round and its the 30th pick.

I mean Memphis is 17-9 and the team is pretty good. The issue isn't Memphis selling tickets; it's the fans who bought the tickets expecting their team to have a marque match up that are upset.
