And just when we think the Cleveland Cavaliers are getting on the right track. The players continue to complain about the team. This time we’re getting some anonymous thoughts.
Because that always helps.
One player said the frustration of an “unbalanced roster probably contributed” to the players’ poor body language and effort level. Another said “it was never Coach [David] Blatt’s fault.“
It’s safe to say it’s not just Blatt’s fault. The players need to respect him as a coach. It takes two to tango.
“I think our confidence has definitely gone up and guys now believe that we are a team that can get stops,” center Tristan Thompson said after the Cavs trounced the Charlotte Hornets 129-90 on Friday. “I think our mindset wasn’t there before. I felt like people never felt us on defense. They knew we were good offensively, but defensively teams thought they could have their way against us. We’re changing that.”
“I think more than anything it’s taking responsibility and competing,” LeBron James said after registering 25 points, six rebounds and nine assists. “It’s something we haven’t done all year, but I feel like right now that’s what we’re doing.“
Does anybody have a feeling of Deja Vu?
I’m getting a little tired of hearing the Cavs talk about their problems and how they’re making steps towards that. Yes. You have problems. Glaring problems. There’s no point having a player on your roster whine about said problems anonymously. That’s not healthy.
