I'd wait until Thomas and Rose return before making any more assessments.

Rose is already playing.

Well, I'd wait for Thomas since he's replacing Kyrie.

Wow, the Cavs look just out of it. It's embarrassing how bad they look right now.

He'll only exacerbate their defensive problems, which is a big part of their issue.

But they are definitely missing Kyrie's offense and shooting out there. They can't even run any plays; it's all jumpshots and no attacking the rim. Without another iso guy, their offense just doesn't work and is subpar.

Yeah, and to a man they say they are not worried about it. Someone needs to speak up and lead that team. I wonder when they are going to start to worrying?

Cavs struggles are because they now have so many leaders on the team? Like come on what kind of excuse is that?

Who said that? They need someone to step up and call out their p--- poor play.

Maybe a coach?

I wonder how long it’s going to take Lebron to pack it in and start looking towards a move to the Lakers.  Eventually he’s going to get frustrated and make more excuses.

Their sideline reporter said it. I'm watching the away feed so I didn't catch the name.

Wow, that's a bad hot take there. Too many leaders? Yeah, that's always a problem! :o

They are going to have to play LeBron over 40 minutes tonight to try and come back over the Knicks.

I think that's code for dead weight, Wade and Rose are finished and aren't aware of it (especially Rose). Their GM has some very hard decisions to make soon does he leave the roster the way it is and almost guarantee that James walks in the offseason or does he flip the Brooklyn pick for some help but if James still walks he has wasted their chance at a quick rebuild...the need a proper sit down with James and his agent.

Is Lebron injured? He's playing pretty passive.

That's the typical regular season Lebron. He's been coasting for years now. But he can't now that Kyrie is gone. Coast too much and they'll face the danger of missing the post season.

He has been coasting but I can't see them missing the post season in the eastern conference...
