It’s “that time” of the NBA season.
The time where the NBA gets super desperate for headlines because most of the attention is going towards the NCAA tournament. Naturally, the easiest storyline to chose is one featuring LeBron James. New York Daily News Reporter Frank Isola is just the latest to take that easy route:
Love is viewed by some as an aloof player who alienated teammates in Minnesota and is now doing the same in Cleveland.
Several sources close to the situation in Cleveland claim that James has tried to make it work but that he’s frustrated by Love’s inability, and in some ways unwillingness, to get with the program.
This was written yesterday before the Cavs’ route of Memphis in which Love had a 20/10 game. If he duplicates those number for a few more games I’m sure we will see Isola write a follow up article saying, “Sources say LeBron & Love figuring it out.”
Alas, this is the world of NBA writing in March.
