“I don’t have an answer for it. There’s no extra motivation or anything”. “And I’m just trying to carry it on”.

Those numbers look underwhelming, but consider this: The Cavaliers outscored the Magic by 29 points when James was in the game.
With a 11-4 record, the Cleveland Cavaliers are the best team in the East. They are winning despite the absence of their starting backcourt, Iman Shumpert and Kyrie Irving who are both injured. They say, ‘Oh, Joe Montana is great.’ You know, ‘Tom Brady is great.
“It’s great to see him have success he is having for this franchise right now, ” James said. “That’s a veteran ball club”.
Anthony tied a season- ow with 11 points, all of which came in the first quarter, yet still tied for the team high in the loss with rookie Kristaps Porzingis.
Whatever is bothering the Cavs (if any) will need to be weeded out soon. It was a tight contest from start to finish but the Cavs faded midway through the fourth quarter as they missed eight straight shots, making just seven of 20 in the fourth quarter.
ORLANDO – Second-year point guard Elfrid Payton scored 22 points and added 10 assists in leading Orlando to an easy victory over Milwaukee at the Amway Center. James then added a free throw with 9.2 seconds. “Very short-handed. Thought our guys played hard and I thought we ran out of gas”. James gave the example of National Football League in which no player is compared with others as is the case in NBA when there is always a comparison going on whether Kobe Bryant or Jordan or James who is the best of them, there should be no comparisons and we should be enjoying the games rather than comparing the players. That was the key to the win.
With nearly four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, Love gathered a defensive rebound and hurled one of his trademark outlet passes to James as James sprinted forward. “That’s a credit to our players”.
Love was 6-for-9 on 3-pointers, Smith was 6-for-10 and Dellavedova went 4-for-6 as the Cavs made a season-high 18 shots from behind the arc in 35 attempts (.514). He is averaging 36.2 points in his past five games.
Guard Kemba Walker scored 18 but was six of 16 from the field.
PACERS 104, BULLS 92: Paul George scored 33 points, C.J. Miles had 16 and IN won at Indianapolis.
“I thought that we got exhausted for obvious reasons”, Blatt said. “We did some good things”. We will watch the film. “I think it may be the nature of the sport, and also, the prestige position in sports is quarterback”, James said. “He’s one of, if not the most, unselfish superstars in the game”.
How would LeBron James react on the next game after disagreeing with coach David Blatt?
