Cavs’ Lue Shocked by Love All-Star Snub

But since Tyronn Lue’s offense has taken shape, getting Love more touches at the elbow and working rotations around him, Love has looked like a new man. However in this particular meeting, the main idea of this meeting addressed accountability, both as a team and from their star players – LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love. The Wine and Gold have canned double-digit three-pointers in 24 games this season and have hit 15 or more on four occasions.

“I just thought, in this league it’s always been about winning and winning has always been rewarded”, Lue said before the Cavs’ shootaround Friday morning in preparation for their game against the Detroit Pistons.

Kyrie Irving scored 21 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter, and the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the San Antonio Spurs 117-103 on Saturday. Tristan Thompson had another double double with 14 points and 12 rebounds. In the second half the other 2/3s of the Cavs big 3 took over. They’ve scored more than 110 points in all four of their victories.

In a report by Nick Eilerson for the Washington Post, the San Antonio Spurs’ Gregg Popovich, the Dallas Mavericks’ Rick Carlisle, and the Los Angeles Lakers’ Byron Scott were the ones who were most vocal about their opinions. “We’ve been able to do that and not turn the ball over”. 549 from the field (45-for-82) and committing only 10 turnovers, with just two in a 66-point first half. He also had Cavs’ fans checking to make sure their contact lenses were in, as we he contributed two steals and two blocks on defense. While the move came as a shock, it was clear that the Cavaliers felt they needed to make a change in order to jumpstart the team.

I think we’ll go 1-1 in this back-to-back, and we’ve played the Cavs well recently.

That set off a turbulent week for the Cavs, who have been the target of sharp criticism by plenty of coaches besides Popovich. Love delivered his second-highest point total of the season and best since November. “But it doesn’t stop the season….” “It probably needed to happen weeks ago”. “So that’s most important”.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are not shy about holding players-only meetings.

Guard Tony Parker scored 13 points for the Spurs and forward Kyle Anderson had 10 off the bench.

3-Point Goals-San Antonio 6-18 (Leonard 3-7, Ginobili 2-4, Green 1-3, Anderson 0-1, Mills 0-3), Cleveland 9-23 (Dellavedova 3-5, Love 3-6, Smith 2-4, Jefferson 1-1, Cunningham 0-1, Irving 0-2, Shumpert 0-2, James 0-2). “They were still a very good team before”. And that doesn’t just happen in games but in game-type situations like this. Well, for one, they’re scoring a lot of points. LeBron James’ leadership finally taking hold? One of thd equipment guys asked him to change during the first quarter.
