The Cavs are on a four-game losing streak and LeBron isn’t taking it very well, his body language has been terrible, his effort has been questioned (he admitted it himself) and now he says the team is fragile.
“We’re a very fragile team right now,” James said after Cleveland saw an 18-point first-quarter lead turn into a 19-point fourth-quarter hole against the Eastern Conference-leading Raptors (11-2). “Well, we were a fragile team from the beginning. Any little adversity hits us, we just shell up. That’s something that will come with experience.”
“I think it’s all chemistry,” he said. “I think it has a lot to do with chemistry, knowing where guys are. For me, I’m throwing passes where I expect guys to be out there and that’s a problem of mine.”
“The fact that I can see that our team is very fragile and some of the guys, a 4-0 lead or a 6-0 run happens, and guys start reverting back to previous habits, [means] we got to continue to push forward,” James said. “We got to continue to work the system, continue to play like we were before and go from there.”
It is my opinion that LeBron should try some positive reinforcement. I think the negative comments will only make players press and not play freely.
Eventually, they will figure it out.
