The Cleveland Cavaliers have looked a bit shaky in their last string of games. Since losing on Christmas Day to the Golden State Warriors the Cavs have been riding a bit of a losing streak dropping six of their last eight games. The last two losses have been complete blowouts at the hands of the upstart Minnesota Timberwolves and last night by Eastern Conference foe, Toronto Raptors.
During a timeout in the 133-99 drubbing, LeBron went in on his teammates for their lack of defensive intensity. Clearly enraged by their play, LeBron took over the huddle and torn into all of his teammates pointing out their defensive breakdowns. When asked about the timeout by reporters during postgame interviews, James stated:
"That was just us trying to figure it out, [...] It's not for everybody. We came here and talked about it, and that's what happens at times. Family is not always about a bed of roses."
ESPN is reporting that this is the first time in James' career where one of his teams has lost back-to-back games by more than 25 points. However, to prematurely write off the Cavs should be warned against considering their pedestrian 7-8 record in January last season. Despite that, the team was still able to make it to the NBA Finals.
The Cavs try to right the ship against the Indiana Pacers on Friday, Jan. 12.
