The Cleveland Cavaliers suffered a severe home defeat against Oklahoma City Thunder, showing defensive weaknesses in particular. LeBron James showed himself pissed off and warned his team.
The Cavs had admitted 148 points in front of their home crowd and showed little resistance,”I haven’t seen anything like this happen to me in my entire career,” said an angry James afterwards. 148 points? It doesn’t even happen in video games. They could just do whatever they wanted.”
The King didn’t even want to think big about the playoffs in the first place.”The way we’re playing at the moment, it’s not an issue at all,”he said.”If they started next weekend, we’d be kicked out very early.”
Due to the current crisis of the Cavs, coach Tyronn Lue seems to be numbered as well. When asked if he believes he will be fired, James replied,”I hope not. But I don’t know, of course. “I don’t know what happens to our team, and I don’t know what discussions are going on.”
Lue himself admitted to the record that he believes that he still has the confidence of the Front Office. “But we didn’t give up and keep fighting.”
