Game 40 | Cavs (26-13) @ Wolves (25-16) | January 8, 2018 | 8:00 pm EST

Team noticeably dropping off since Gilbert asked LeBron to commit a few weeks ago.

Seems he might be.... making a point.

Cause Lue loves him

LeBron really shouldn't be playing in the 2nd half. Like honestly.....give him the rest. He's taking it anyways.

He will forever be stuck at 4 MVP's if this is the attitude he brings to the regular season.

Sure it means nothing when we waltz to the finals but he acts like he wants MVP, always has the pissy quotes when he doesn't win it, and then plays half the season in a fucking haze.

Blaming this team's problems on Lebron is total BS. You have to actually build a team around him so he doesn't have to be superhuman every single night.

This is far worse than anything that happened last regular season. And that’s saying something.

Until second half

Lebron loves subliminal messages. The TWolves constant march to the rim is his way of letting the front office know to let the Nets pick go for DJ.

Maybe he needs to give word that he will come back. He's the one holding the trade up.

Yea and then we have the people who say " LeBron is the MVP every year."

No he's fucking not. He hasnt been the best regular season player in years. He wasnt last year. He wasnt the year before. And he isn't this year.

The ONLY reason hes near the top of the list is due to injuries to guys like Harden and Curry.

Its a regular season award. Hes not a regular season player anymore. And I'm with you, his little petty whines about not winning are getting old.

How is it Kevin defends Gibson 3 times and 2 other Cavs players watch as Gibson gets rebound after rebound. Help each other out.

Cavs should sign me. I’ll accept 1/10 of JRs pay to run around with my thumb in my ass like he does every night

Maybe DeAndre can fix a few problems. You know, those uncontested Gibson makes, Wiggins makes, Towns makes, they add up.

It's ugly having no type of rim protection. I understand we won't be playing legit big man vs Warriors or Celtics... But our defense needs a leader, real talk.

That line of thinking would make sense... if the bench wasn't the best in the league. Seriously, this team is better with LeBron off the floor than when he plays.

Let that shit sink in.

Come on man he can't stand still on defense, not get back, and expect people to cover for him. Like he wants to play literally no defense and still win MVPs?

Curry at least give consistent effort on that end. Westbrook too.

There is plenty of talent on this team.

The vast majority of the team follows LeBron's lead.

LeBron is the worst defender on the floor tonight. Worse than IT. He leads the team at -27..

He doesn't rotate. Doesn't contest. Doesn't play the right scheme. Doesn't give a fuck.

When the best player in the world plays like that, it gives his teammates the green light to cut the same corners he does, hope for an offensive explosion, and turn it on late in games if we can keep it close.

Every LBJ team ever has started and ended with LBJ. That is the price of admission for having him. And I would rather have him than not.

There is a reason the team has performances like this and barely bats an eyelash. We saw it last season as well. Then we unleash hell in the playoffs and would be three time champions if not for injuries and the greatest roster of talent ever assembled on a bunch of lucky circumstances that will likely never present themselves again.

LBJ doesn't care about this game. Means 0 to him. Therefore the majority of the team doesnt care about this game. Therefore when it rains, it pours.

I would not trade either 1st round pick - we will need all of the assets we can get our hands on for the rebuild. LeBron wants to quit on this team again!!! Fine start the rebuild now and get rid of all of the dead weight. Trade Love/IT/Tristan/Korver/JR/Shump/Crowder and get as many draft picks as possible and younger players. See if LeBron wants to waive his no trade. Done with this lack of effort.

Tell LBJ to commit long term and he'll get what he wants.......

In other news Gerald green has 17 at the half.

Meanwhile JR Smith.... goose egg.
