It was initially heard that LeBron James, following the Cavs’ 19-point loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, called out Dion Waiters and Kyrie Irving. However, according to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, James and Irving got into a “healthy” discussion following the loss.
The discussion was seen as healthy, sources said, with the veteran James voicing concerns about the direction of the Cavs’ offense. James scored just 11 points against the Blazers and did not score in the second half, and he was often not a part of the offense. Cleveland is off to a 1-3 start following a last-second loss to the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night.
“There’s a lot of bad habits, a lot of bad habits been built up the past couple years,” James said to the media moments after the exchange. “When you play that style of basketball, it takes a lot to get it up out of you.”
I’m sure the two had more ‘discussions’ after the Cavs’ 102-100 loss to the Utah Jazz last night.
