If I'm LeBron James, I'm asking to be traded NOW! You can't be THE marquee player and not get your team past the abyssmal New York Knicks! For the Cleveland Cavaliers to lose to a permanantly slumping squard like the Knicks, the whole game plan for the season is in doubt and must be reassessed.
This is the Knicks most lopside W of the season, beating the Cavs by 18 points! Have Knicks even been up by more than 10 on any opponent ALL YEAR? Possibly, but I can't recall. Zeke has been on the hot-seat for a long time, and it culminated with fans carrying a huge placard outside of MSG emploring Knicks' owner James Dolan to oust old boy. For some inexplicable reason Dolan is keeping Zeke at the reins -- maybe there's some blackmail scheme that Zeke has over Dolan that keeps him employed, or maybe it has to do with a back-room deal done surrounding that sexual harassment case.
Knicks' coach Isiah Thomas must have ripped the whole roster, disabled list included, new anuses! They responded by leading by 25 at point -- which I know had LeBron and Coach Brown changing their underwear at halftime.
The fact that Drew Gooden was the ONLY play in the Cavs uniform (outside of the King) to score in the double figures just goes to show how shameful the Cavs are losing 9 out of their last 11, that reminds me of the post-Mark Price/pre-LeBron Cavs of the mid to late 90s
The thing about the Cavs is that their Defense falls under that umbrella rubrick of "piss-poor" and that's a hard moniker to shake off, as it requires an extensive amount of hard work day-in and day-out, and there is a commitment required for it to work and work well in the NBA when teams like the Celtics, the Spurs, the Mavs, the Suns and the Pistons are ready to hand out ass-whuppings each and every night.
LeBron, ya got ya work cut out for ya, and I foresee that your Cleveland days is numbered!
I mean, imagine if the East Conference Champs can't even get to the playoffs? Or past the first round? That smacks of the Heat the year after they won it all... and that stink hasn't dissapated yet!
