Cavalier fans need to accept reality
The Cleveland Cavaliers have lost four straight games. This team is tired and seems to be searching for answers. LeBron James, on the other hand, puts in a total effort game after game. I was amazed and embarrassed as I listened the Cleveland fans boo LeBron as he missed four straight free throws.
I really believe Cleveland fans should educate themselves on why the Cavs are losing. I won’t buy into the injury theory. I have concluded that coaching and hustle are the top two reasons for the current skid. LeBron James doesn’t fall under either one of these categories. Michael Jordon, Kobe Bryant and Larry Bird wouldn’t have been champions without a strong supporting cast.
It’s absolutely Mike Brown’s responsibility to bring the best out in this team and develop cohesiveness between his players. The Cavaliers, on offense, stand around and watch LeBron perform. They should just buy a ticket and watch the game next to me. It falls squarely on Coach Brown’s shoulders to make this offense flow.
Also, this team has high paid veteran players that should know how to win. The Detroit Pistons, who already have a championship ring, still showed more desire to win than the underachieving Cavaliers squad. So, Cleveland fans, before you boo LeBron James again, please remember this guy has heart, desire and hustle. He just can’t carry the whole team on his back. I think LeBron James is the only bright spot on this team and we better appreciate his talents before we lose them.

It kills me seeing the Cavs not hustling for loose balls. They’ve had problems all season, even during wins, with losing focus, taking quarters off, and not bringing energy. LeBron can only do so much for this team. We need others to bring the intensity night after night and I agree, it all falls on Mike Brown’s shoulders.
Excellent points, Bob. Why isn’t Mike Brown taking more heat for the team’s problems?
And I couldn’t believe when I actually heard Cavs fans booing LeBron. Yeah, he deserves criticism for not hitting his freebies, but booing your star player on his home court is embarrassing, especially when he’s the only guy who shows up night in and night out. Those are the kinds of things that may make LA and New York look all that more appealing to LeBron when it comes time to sign his next contract.
