LeBron James Wishes to Be on a 70-Win Team

This game means more than just one loss on the schedule for the Hornets. He played in all but two of those encounters.

“Bis just focuses on defence, he understands what got him in the league, he understands what his strong point is and that’s being defensive, blocking shots and grabbing rebounds”, Carroll said.

The best regular season finish in his career was 66 wins, which he accomplished once with the Cavs and once with the Miami Heat.

After Wednesday’s loss to the Raptors – Cleveland’s third loss in six games to drop them to 11-4 – James was livid and was seeking a solution for the team’s problems.

In the report, James Jones also shared his thoughts of their sloppy play after the game, stating how they need to be consistent not only in terms of winning, but also with how the team plays on the court.

There was a time when James didn’t always perform well in the moment, but those days are getting more and more hard to remember now. The Raptors hosted Drake Night for the third time Wednesday night with Thompson, James, and the Cavaliers in Toronto for their first visit of the season. Kevin Love also contributed to the win by notching a double-double at halftime, finishing with 18 points and 16 rebounds.

“We finished a six-pack back there”, Jefferson said while walking out of the locker room.

James added, “He’s going to have a hell of a season….” Cumulative travel can take a toll, moreso when a team is already an underdog, and fatigue could have played some factor in their issues executing late in games. I’m sure we’ll have plenty of things to say about that game before the Cavs and Wizards tip off.

Washington answered with a 10-2 run before Toronto scored the next seven points, with Lowry’s 3-pointer off DeRozan’s kickout making it 80-79.

Said Hornets guard Jeremy Lin (seven points and four rebounds): “They definitely had a lot of second chance points, more than we want to give them”.

Tristan Thompson’s basket with 1:13 remaining gave Cleveland an 86-85 lead and James made two free throws with 16 seconds left, but Johnson was fouled by J.R. Smith attempting a 3-pointer. Nets PG Shane Larkin is 13-of-20 from 3-point distance since November 11.3.

Cavaliers: Timofey Mozgov started at center for the second straight night after missing three games with a strained right shoulder…. Johnson added 17 for the Nets, who fell to 1-10 on the road.

B OFFENSE: The 3-point shooting was off, but the Hornets got to the foul line 25 times.

LeBron James followed Michael Jordan’s jersey number and in some ways followed his trajectory to the top of the National Basketball Association. James said the two stars have been friends since Newton played college football at Auburn. “He’s a special guy to have at the end of the game and throughout the game”. Williams had 14 points. Six of the Cavaliers’ eight home victories have been decided by double digits and they’ve defeated Brooklyn four straight times at Quicken Loans Arena.
