It’s probably pretty safe to say that the Cleveland Cavaliers are spiraling now. They lost their fourth straight game when they fell to the Toronto Raptors 110-93 on Saturday night.
The Cavs are now sporting a 5-7 record, which is pretty bad. In fact, it’s the worst start by any team LeBron James has played on since his rookie season in 2003.
After such a poor start, James no longer looks inconsolable. Now he just looks straight up mad.
James had some words about the state of affairs in Cleveland after Saturday’s loss.
It sounds like he’s past telling everyone to relax and that things are all good, because things are not all good. Things are bad. But, If you’re a passenger on the Cavs emotional rollercoaster, take solace in the fact that the Cavs WILL NOT HAVE A LOSING RECORD.
Well, he does now, but that’s not the point. What Blatt means is that the Cavs won’t finish the season beneath .500. It’s not the championship you might’ve been hoping for, but at least it’s not a losing season.
Maybe that’s the best he can do coaching a new team with only five players on the roster that have played together before this year. Rome wasn’t built in a day, guys.
