LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers haven’t gotten off to the start that many Cavs fans might have wished. Although they beat the Chicago Bulls on Halloween night, they’ve lost their two other games to the Portland Trailblazers and New York Knicks. If these quotes are any indication, LeBron is not too happy about the play from his backcourt- Kyrie Irving and Dion Waiters. Via ESPN:
James did not call out any teammate by name, but seemed to be referencing Irving’s and Waiters’ play when reflecting on what needs to change in order for Cleveland to start playing the right way. “There’s a lot of bad habits; a lot of bad habits have been built up over the last couple of years and when you play that style of basketball it takes a lot to get it up out of you,” James said. “But I’m here to help and that’s what it’s about.”
Offensively, this team looks fine. But on the defensive end, they need a lot of work. However, its only been three games, people.
Last night was just the second time in LeBron James' regular-season career he was held scoreless in the second half.
