When you have LeBron James, Kevin Love, and Kyrie Irving on the same team, you expect nothing but buckets and wins. EXPECT is the key word. We were truly wrong. The Cleveland Cavaliers are 18-12 and are 5th in the Eastern Conference behind Toronto, Atlanta, Washington, and Chicago. Honestly, it is disappointing and pressure is mounting in Cleveland. LeBron James says if the situation is better in other teams he might leave, Kevin Love’s contract is expiring and David Blatt’s days look short for sure. Is the pressure making him crack?
According to Dave McMenamin of ESPN:
Not an easy day of media for David Blatt. In the middle of answering ?s to the press he came down with a nosebleed caused by the dry weather

I’m not saying trouble is near for the Cleveland Cavaliers, and I am surely not calling a team LeBron James is on hopeless, but this looks a lot like wishful thinking, and it is David Blatt’s fault. With 3 superstars you need to have a strong coach that can stay strong to his values even with superstars near. Let’s hope Cleveland finds a solution, or else LeBron might have a leaving home party soon.
