Lebron James Getting exhausted Of Carrying Cleveland Cavaliers And Kevin Love
The Cavaliers have won 26 of their last 27 regular-season home games, including all six this season after James scored 27 and Love had 22 and 15 rebounds against the Bucks.
Meanwhile, Tristan Thompson provided his two cents on the reason behind the continuing losses of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
We’re talking about two of the better teams in the National Basketball Association, teams with deep and talented rosters, teams that five months ago squared off in the Eastern Conference finals.
“We were in the bonus for them very early, so that put us behind”, Bucks coach Jason Kidd said. “We need to share the ball, we need to move it, play together and be aggressive defensively”. They were even more undermanned than usual, with starting center Timofey Mozgov joining Mo Williams, Iman Shumpert, and Kyrie Irving in street clothes. The Bucks cut into the lead throughout the third quarter, but the Cavaliers regrouped.
As per wkyc.com, James also said after their previous overtime loss to the Milwaukee Bucks “I think it comes from within, just taking an onus and taking ownership, and it’s not always about being Ironman. But if there was any contact, it would be totally unintentional and if there (was) contact, I’m sure that’s why he made the judgment call that he did”.
In preparation for the important Toronto game, though, Cleveland will first square off against Atlanta on Saturday.
Sacramento forward DeMarcus Cousins scored 29 points and grabbed 12 rebounds to spark the Kings to a 97-91 victory at Orlando. The Bucks missed just six shots in the third quarter while Antetokounmpo, Monroe and Middleton combined for 22 of their 31 points to trim the deficit to 86-79 entering the fourth, but they were crushed in rebounding 43-22. Saturday’s game featured a few controversial officiating, most noticeably the questionable ejection of Head Coach Mike Budenholzer after he was only assessed one technical foul. James was asked what he foresees in this game.
“I blew a (gasket), you know what that means?” “Teams think they can beat up on us, and that’s not acceptable”, Thompson said. “Hockey sub”, Blatt said. ‘What? Are you kidding me?
Jeff Teague, the Hawks’ usual starter at point guard, returned after missing two games with a sprained left ankle and scored 13 points.
“In general what really, really defines him as a player is his desire to win championships”, Blatt said. You could see Cleveland moving the ball well (10 assists in the quarter), knocking down open shots, crashing the boards and not giving the Bucks much room for jumpers.
