LeBron James 1-5, 3 turnovers Busty LeBron and busty Chandler Parsons are 2 biggest free agent busts of the offseason?? What is with all these stupid GMs overpaying glorified role players?? LeBron can't score without Mario Chalmers and Norris Cole creating shots for him.
Haha, the crowd was waiting for him to do something crazy. Place would have EXPLODED had he dunked the ball or something.
The Cavs will get better offensively over time with chemistry and reps. Defensively, they need more defense in the starting lineup. The obvious change is having Waiters coming off the bench like Jamal Crawford. They need a Battier/Ariza type of player but are currently missing it. If this team really starts to struggle, maybe trade Irving for Rondo?
The Kevin Love Curse will hit Cav-Town...no playoffs this year. There I said it. Cleveland won't make the playoffs this year.

Man, if Irving won't listen to Lebron, he is seriously one of the dumbest players in the NBA. Cavs had essentially no assists in their loss last night. Awkward.
No way that happens. But just for kicks, let's say it does and Love is suddenly not so excited about signing an extension with the Cavs. Should the Rockets still make a run at him given his apparent "curse"?
I'm disappointed in his choice of words. Kyrie isn't a dummy but he might need a serious attitude adjustment. Cavs need to get rid of Waiters. He's unsalvageable for them and needs a fresh start somewhere else.

Only if he accepts his role & decides to play defence, other wise he is just a stat padding asset...(that Morey would probably try and move for Bosh.) Kyrie & Waiters play turnstile / matador defence...both like to launch shots with little or no regard for finding other teammates. Kevin Love can rebound & score. Kevin Love can hit the 3. Kevin Love can talk the talk, but Kevin Love doesn't know how to win, how to lead a team (yet acts like he is the superstar of this squad) & Kevin Love has a Love / Hate relationship with defence...he hates playing it & people love when Love is defending them. Varajao is the Brazillan Birdman without the tattoos. Then you have LeBron, arguably the best player of this generation...but even he won't lead this team anywhere if his teammates don't accept their roles & get on the same page. The fact that Kyrie still thinks that this is HIS team is disturbing... Agree?
The Cavs will be fine because they have more talents than everyone else. It will take some time chemistry wise but they will be fine. I don't blame Kyrie for wanting to play his way and he needs to listen to Lebron. Kid hasn't made playoffs yet.
