Cavaliers guard JR Smith is out against Hornets

He struggled to fit in, absorbed blame when the Cavaliers slumped and even found himself, in the last year’s playoffs, coming off the bench.

James scored 27 points and pulled down 10 rebounds in the Cavaliers’ 105-94 victory over the Wizards. “And I’m very happy for them”. The 7-footer, acquired from Orlando at last season’s trade deadline, went 6-for-12 from the outside Sunday.

John Wall had 28 points for the Wizards (2-6), but did not score after halftime until 3:53 remained and the Cavaliers had opened up a double-digit lead. At one point Kidd-Gilchrist defended James so well on a drive to the rim that when James’ shot missed, he berated an official, rather than run down-court to play defense. According to Fox Sports the Cavaliers are second in the league behind only the Houston Rockets in three-pointers made per game with 13.1, and are also second in the league in attempts with 35.4.

Kevin Durant added 29 points, nine rebounds and five assists as Golden State just missed a third 30-point performance by its star three. “And hopefully for the guys, they feel the same way”.

It was all part of a playful event at the White House which lifted the mood after the Democrats’ defeat in the USA election.

James meanwhile admitted he was shocked by Trump’s success, especially in his home state of OH, where only 44 percent voted for Clinton despite the National Basketball Association superstar’s endorsement. So he’s got to come to Frye-land.

“I was just frustrated”, Jennings said. So it’s a pick-your-poison kind of thing. “When we’re all going, it’s pretty tough to stop”.

The Pistons got 20 points and a game-high 17 rebounds from Andre Drummond. ‘The comeback was remarkable, and you learn about people when they’re down’. It’s unfamiliar territory for a lot of big men.

After the official ceremony, Michelle Obama took over and posed with the Cavs for one of the most epic Mannequin Challenge videos to date.

Maybe most impressive about the feat is that James has never really put scoring as the emphasis of his game.

James said he thinks the country must continue to work together to help move forward, even with Trump at the helm.

A note about that comfort. Eleven of Frye’s 20 points came in the fourth quarter.

“If you’re living with me getting 40, LeBron getting 40 and Kev getting 40”, Irving said of the suggested scheme.

And then he virtually disappeared against the Warriors in the Finals. However, the transition offense was alive throughout the night and helped the team get back into the game in the second quarter. He didn’t make a single 3-pointer.

“Big guys like the paint”, Frye said. The defeat also marked the fifth-consecutive time the Hornets have lost on the road to the Cavaliers. “I wasn’t sure it was going to make an appearance today. I’m just here to do my job and have fun and just embrace it all”. Although it’s hard to believe Dunleavy has been around the league since 2002 (15 seasons), his scoring production has declined over the last two seasons.

Obama named each player on the team, highlighting the different contributions each made during the season.
