Richard Jefferson trash talking is much better than his play, but he is entertaining.
While trying to explain why there is no pressure on Cavs, he makes an excuse for Cavs that they only signed scrubs.
“It’s not on us. Where’s the pressure on us? They had a 73-win team and they added a former MVP [Kevin Durant],” Jefferson told reporters Sunday. “We added Kyle Korver and Deron Williams. They added an MVP to a 73-win team after being up 3-1 and then KD was up 3-1. The pressure is all on them.
“We’re the defending champs. We believe that we have enough here to win a championship. We haven’t played great thus far, but there’s no pressure on us. There never has. It’s been about them proving that last year was a fluke, KD validating the move here, which it’s been validated. We feel very comfortable.”
While granted no one is KD, let’s not act like the Cavs are the Sixers here. They are stacked and trying to make excuses if they lose would be pretty weak.
