Tempers Flared Between LeBron James And Tyronn Lue Last Night
It has been a tough season for the Cleveland Cavaliers so far. They never were able to get things going consistently, before and after the trade mayhem.
They’re going through yet another rough patch right now, having lost 6 of their last 10 games. For the moment, Cleveland is 4th in the East, but they’re only half a game infront of the 5th, 1.5 games infront of the 6th, and even only 3.5 games infront of the 8th seed.
One player who hasn’t disappointed is LeBron James, who, at age 33, is as good as ever. James has been averaging a triple double since February. For the whole season, he’s averaging an insane 27.0 points, 8.6 rebounds, 9.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks.
During last night’s loss against the Portland Trail Blazers, LeBron once again was the only bright spot in a disappointing Cavaliers squad, as he finished with 35 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks. But it wasn’t enough. LeBron seemed to be angry about not being able to win against other top teams and had a little altercation with his head coach Tyronn Lue.
The two certainly don’t have the best of player-coach relationship to begin with, but their ‘feud’ got fired up even more last night.
