The tweet was just a pointless reaction that LeBron shared over the Internet, which is how most people use Twitter. When asked why by a reporter, he responded, “Next question”.
I’m not saying that Irving’s passing is the reason the Cavaliers have looked lethargic at times-just as they did Monday in the first half against the Nuggets, but it should be improved.
Coincidence or not, that decision came two days after the Cavs were manhandled 122-101 by his former Miami team. He’s posted photos of his friends on other teams – Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul – and suggested that they understood him better than anyone else did, fueling even more speculation by Cleveland fans that he’s looking for a way out to team up with those guys.
Tyronn Lue seems to be tinkering with the Cavs’ frontcourt before the playoffs begin.
“I wish it was like baseball and we pop some champagne or some beers or something in the locker room after we win”, he joked. “When we get up, we get cute – the fancy passes, we take a couple bad and questionable shots”.
ESPN is reporting that, according to a source familiar with James’ thinking, the four-time MVP is unfollowing the team’s social media accounts to start to prepare for his annual social media blackout each postseason.
LeBron James gladly talked about another triple-double, another division championship and a resounding win – No. 50 this season for the Cavaliers.
The entire discussion raged all over sports media and just because LeBron James unfollowed the team account on Twitter. “It kind of comes and goes in our league”. “But to be a part of eight straight, it’s an honor”. The win was also the 50th for the Cavs this season and resulted in their second consecutive Central Division title.
However, James insisted Tuesday the move was motivated by a desire to start paying less attention to social media as the post-season looms.
“It’s something we embrace”, he said. We’re playing some good ball. He made some switch, hoping for a good play in Miami. Cavaliers G Mo Williams (knee) returned to practice and could play later this week after missing the last month.2. He grumbled about the team not having an enforcer, then loudly praised the newly acquired veteran Channing Frye for mixing it up for an opponent, implying to the rest of the Cavaliers: See?

But Lin added 12 points in the second to chip away at the Spurs’ lead. The Pacers and Bulls now occupy the last two play-off places in the Eastern Conference.
