After a devastating loss — that Saw Bulls emerging star, Jimmy Butler shut him down in the post — don’t expect LeBron James to hold his head or sulk.
The Cavs, who now trail the series 2-1 heading into Sunday’s Game 4 — are going through hell as a unit — yet still face championship expectation from the media and fans.
James, now more than ever, promises to show strength in the midst of adversity.
“It’s an emergency every playoff game. As the leader of the team, I can’t be down about anything,” James said Saturday after the team had a film session.
“Even though I hate losing — it was tough for me to sleep last night — I’m not going to be shattered, not around these guys. They need my leadership more than ever, more than anybody on the team. I will not show any weakness.”
