LeBron after big loss: Cavs lacking toughness


DENVER -- Following a 126-113 drubbing at the hands of the Nuggets on Wednesday, Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James called out his team's toughness with just a dozen regular-season games remaining before the Cavs begin their title defense.

"It ain't about a group. It's about individuals," James said after Cleveland allowed Denver to put up 73 points in the first half, score a whopping 70 points in the paint in the game and shoot 53.1 percent from the field and 42.3 percent from 3. "We've got to be more, just do more. It ain't about no group. You can't preach toughness. You've got to have it."

James was asked how his individual defensive effort stacked up on a night when he registered a plus-minus of minus-30 in 34 minutes.

"Personally? I had opportunities where I could have been better," James said before firing back with a rebuttal. "Um, one thing about it: I always bring toughness to the game. I know that. That's for sure."

What is also a sure thing is how dire the Cavs' repeat chances will become if Cleveland continues its porous defense. The Cavs rank 22nd in the NBA in defensive efficiency this season and 29th in March, according to ESPN Stats & Information. No NBA champion in the past 20 seasons finished the regular season ranked worse than 19th in that category (the 2000-01 Los Angeles Lakers, another repeat champion). Last season, the Cavs finished 10th in defensive efficiency.

Cleveland guard Kyrie Irving had no interest in reflecting on where the Cavs were at this point last season -- holding a 50-20 record and dealing with the fallout of James' bizarre social media habits after he unfollowed the Cavs' team account on Twitter -- compared to where they currently stand, at 46-24 and having lost six of their past 10 games.

"There's no comparison, man," Irving said. "Last year compared to this year, you can't even [compare]. It wouldn't be fair. It wouldn't be fair because you see how we go on [comparing] the record, what's our record at this particular date, and honestly, none of that s--- matters. We're trying to go into the playoffs as healthy as possible. Everybody is getting back. It's been a very, very weird season for all of us. Injuries here and there. Things to figure out. New player trades and stuff like that.

"We'll figure it out. I'm not concerned, though. These guys, our culture that is built here now over the last three years has been very great and something that we can all lean on to. We just got to stay more connected and just be there for one another, and we'll be all right."

Cavs coach Tyronn Lue was less optimistic. He has seen his team's defensive efficiency get worse every month this season. The Cavaliers allowed 104 points per 100 possessions in October and November (15th in the NBA), 106.2 in December (14th), 107.0 in January (14th), 109.8 in February (23rd) and 114 this month.

LeBron is doing what LeBron does best- motivating and leading. Its easy to get complacent when you are just so loaded with talent.

lol- it sure seems like you give a shit. It seems to consume you actually.

I don't care at all, I love taking your bitch ass to suplex city.

But we are never going to get new posters in here because everytime someone visits the forum all they see is you

literally taking Cock jabs to the throat, and gargling LeRest's cum and dripping it down your chin.

You're making this place a laughing stock with your endless novels, sad fantasies, and your CANland utter bullshit.


Shut the fuck up and act like a normal human being, is my point, not some fucking pre-teen who has to look up to pro athletes because his daddy didn't love him.




No woman in their right mind is ever going to fuck you when you're 35 years old and your room looks like this

[TJL]

@TJL remember those good ole days when you were trying to defend this tool?

I only did that for about 2 hours, but yea, good times.

I defended LeBron quite a bit the last 2 days actually, I just don't worship athletes because I'm not a fucking loser like Wiggy, so I can justifiably call a spade a spade when I see it fit.

they were basically a .500 road team their first year too- and made it to game 6 of the Finals without Kyrie and Love--- with Delly being hospitalized and with shumpert not beng able to lift his arm over his head.

If you think anyone in Cleveland is panicking when they are the defending champs, and have LeBron James/Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love healthy- you are out of your mind.

this roster is loaded. They havent played to the best of their abilities- because of injuries/trades/signings- but are on the right track.

in the big picture- its great being a Cavs fan- as i said- Defending Champs, First place, LeBron on a multi year deal, highest payroll i nthe league, Kyrie and Love signed up long term- LeBron took a multi year deal you said he would never take- No one in the East has made any kind of major move because they are all frightened little bitches.

I talk up the Cavs as much as i do because they are just that fucking good.

Seasons 1 and 2 mean nothing this year.
This team blows right now.
Lucky to beat Lakers.
