LeBron James: What Does He Mean By “Top-Heavy” Cavs?

“It’s tough”, James said.

The team also did not replace center Timofey Mozgov, who signed with the Los Angeles Lakers over the summer. The Cavs have a much better overall roster than the Pelicans, but with the Cavs, it seems either they aren’t as good as last season, or have they finally hit the wall and are in the midst of a championship hangover? We telling Kay to be a backup point guard to a f– superstar right now, instead of being a backup point guard to a guy that’s proven in the league.

The Spurs may not have survived it.

Davis leads the Pelicans with 28.6 points, 12 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game.

David Lee scored 14 points and grabbed 11 rebounds while starting in place of injured Pau Gasol.

A reporter responded to James that many wonder how Cleveland would do if James tapered his minutes at the end of the month, as Cavs coach Ty Lue said was the plan – let alone missed games. Leonard won the tip, but the ball was headed out of bounds when Kevin Love saved it and fired it behind his back inbounds.

The matchup between two of the NBA’s best teams didn’t disappoint.

The rivalry between Leonard and James, meanwhile, continues to sizzle. He said it privately in the locker room after games and publicly when cameras were rolling. “Comes down to making shots”. We will see where it goes. Tristan Thompson went 0-of-4 from the line, each one a scalpel-jab to the spleen of Cavs fans. The bad news is that there is a lot of time left in the season. Before the season began, the expectation was this would be a transition season for San Antonio as it adapted to life without Tim Duncan. This season he’s playing 21 minutes a game for the Lakers.

James lamented his turnover with 24 seconds left. “Danny Green had no clue what was going on but we didn’t execute it right”, Lue said.

It has been a year and 2 days since David Blatt was sacked and replaced by Tyronn Lue. “We’ve got to figure it out”. Coming out of a timeout. “We just didn’t execute down the stretch”. “We’ve got to understand that, no matter who’s on the floor”.

I not mad or upset at management cause Griff and staff have done a great job, I just feel we still need to improve in order to repeat. Despite the fact Cleveland has an NBA-high payroll of roughly $130 million, James hasn’t been happy with the composition of the roster – specifically with a lack of playmakers besides himself and Irving.

18 of Leonard’s points came in the fourth quarter or overtime and he finished off the night with an emphatic jam to seal the deal. James has marveled at how San Antonio continues to fly under the radar despite its championship pedigree. It’s top-heavy. I’m not singling out anybody …

“[The Spurs have] bodies”. “Maybe Pop has it in his contract to fly under the radar”, he joked. All of the others are in the Naismith Memorial Hall Of Fame (six of them as players, with Satch Sanders inducted as a contributor). They have dropped eight of 10 as they continue on this eight-game road trip.
