Love, Irving Sharp As Cavaliers Beat Pistons, 114-106

Lue has the Cavaliers playing at a faster pace and the Spurs, who were again without center Tim Duncan, couldn’t keep up with them. “If that’s what they want me to do, I’m not going to do it because I’ve got so much to give to the game”, James said to the Akron Beacon Journal on Wednesday.

In what has to be one of the weirdest things we’ve seen in a while, LeBron showed up to Saturday’s game against the San Antonio Spurs with the wrong shorts on.

Kawhi Leonard led the Spurs with 24 points and six rebounds. He was finishing around the rim, hitting Dirk-like jumpers from the midrange, and extended his range behind the three-point line, connecting on 3-of-his-6 three-point attempts.

According to oddsmakers at Bovada.lv, the Spurs are now listed as the favorite in this game, as San Antonio is getting odds of -2 points against the Cavs.

Most of the talk has been about LeBron and how he is a coach killer, and that has been semi-warranted, considering he is on his fifth coach in nine seasons with the Cavs, but he was far from the only issue here. However, this is a Cavs team which has been outclassed by the upper crust of the National Basketball Association all season, and it would certainly help change that narrative if they could pull off a victory against the Spurs. It just so happens we played a decent game.

James scored a layup and flexed.

The NBA announced that Lue will coach the East team in the All-Star Game.

Isaiah Canaan had 18 points to lead the 76ers, who dropped to 7-41.

On Saturday night, James couldn’t use Duncan as an excuse, as the he would miss his third straight game with a sore right knee. Danilo Gallinari led Denver with 23 points.

NEW YORK – New York ended a four-game losing streak and extended Phoenix’s road losing streak to 13, its longest drought away from home in 32 years. “Irving was right behind him with 28, and James stuffed the stat sheet with 20 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists”.
