What's Wrong With Lebron/Cleveland?

Lebron is not a good leader and the team needs leadership. I think that's it.

c on z isn't cheering hard enough

z on c is pellie fan now

It's almost as if in an attempt to be calm and maintain perspective with this early adversity (which is good) Lebron has overdone it and gotten apathetic.

That being said, they do show flashes (e.g., first quarter last night) of promise. I think Blatt needs to improve his rotations and they need to get way more from their bench (Thompson has been relatively fine). Are they saving Mike Miller? While Kyrie seems to be picking up from his flaws, Dion seems to be getting worse; he doesn't seem to have any awareness whatsoever.

I haven't watched much of them yet this year but there should never be a minute of the game where atleast 1 of them isn't on the court. Has that been the case?

They are one of the worst defensive teams in the league. LeBron and Marion are like the two good defenders on the team and LeBron's been shite on defense this season.

They are relying on Love as a rim protector. He's basically completely eliminated the mid-range shot from his arsenal.

Their offense is still extremely basic and is being run by a PG who doesn't enjoy passing.

Their bench blows.

Since this team was formed they've had an enormous target on them and that is hard to deal with when majority of the roster has never had to play a meaningful minute in their careers.

The defense sucked to begin with, but now we have Bron walking around on defense and throwing lazy passes (he already has 50 TOs).

A guy literally walked by Bron last night for an easy layup and he didn't even move.

Kevin Love can't hit an open shot to save his life.

How are fans in Ohio reacting to Lebron and the team so far? I know there was a lot of excitement pre season?
People turning yet or are they still positive?

i think lebron is trying to work within the team concept so he doesn't dominate the ball. he should give more effort on D though

love doesn't seem to fit in the offense and is losing interest

blatt needs to figure out how to use his people and stop being so rigid in his dogma, spo had this issue in miami early in year 1, too.

lebron's AIDS also has affected his finishing at the rim also, which is troubling for his game. i thihnk this is another reason why he (and blatt, i'd imagine) dont' want him to just be lebron out there

After the past 4 years it's going to take a lot more than this.

There is some head scratching stuff going on though.. not sure why we are running the pick roll with Andy instead of Love... especially early in the game.
