Turns out that it was Wade, not IT, who initially called out Kevin Love:

Quote
Thomas was upset that Kevin Love went home with an illness before a 24-point loss to Oklahoma City had concluded on Jan. 20, and that he was not at practice the following day. But, sources said, it was Wade who first made an issue of it on Monday, challenging Lue to disclose where Love had been. Numerous players verbally attacked Love, who eventually explained his absence as part of a wide-ranging, heated discussion in which virtually no one was immune from criticism.

Funny how the media covered for Wade until now.

Man they really treat IT like crap

Cavs are looking good again against the wizards.  Thought the all star break might have actually messed them up, but tjey are looking really good.  Should be interesting to see how they fit Love on when he is back

It's astonishing that guys that the refs wouldn't think twice about respecting EVER are all of a sudden given carte blanche on both ends of the court once they become a teammate of Lebron.

The Cavs definitely look better, but they don't look like they've solved all their problems.

I'd say almost every shot the Wizards got in the last six minutes of the first half were really easy.

The Cavs should be worried about how much they’ve been relying upon JR Smith lately. He can’t sustain his production.

The Cavaliers overall look better but we sure their defense is significantly better?

Looks like the Wizards could get 110+ tonight w/o John Wall.

Cavaliers will still win a lot of games outscoring teams now and yes, their defense is more existent now with younger, athletic bodies out there, but again it won't be enough to beat GSW, and might not get it done vs. Toronto who look legit this year (esp. with DeRozan's emergence and that deep bench)

I agree. The overreaction to the cavs getting some role players was a pretty unique experience on this board. The Cavs 3rd best player is probably George hill. The 4th best is either hood or clarkson? That's not Klay Thompson or draymond green. They still have serious issues

Watch, if they lose tonight (which looks likely now), the media will have all the excuses lined up for Bron Bron.

But when they win, it's the "awakening of Lebron" and the "Cavaliers are unstoppable" and "the Cavaliers have closed the gap on Golden State"  ::)

UPDATE: Probably spoke too soon. Wizards might just choke this away...

Wizards win!

And LOL, Lebron gets to the line and goes 0-2. Practically tried running into guys blatantly to draw a foul, and didn't work!  :laugh:

Now lets see all the excuses the media makes up for the Cavaliers after deeming them "invincible" about a week ago  :P

On the other hand, they still have Jeff Green, who is a blistering +1 tonight while Nance, Hill, Clarkson and Hood are a combined -22. I think that guy might be a top 5 SF in the league. I hope Jaylen Brown turns out that well.

The honeymoon's over.

I do wonder, did this game show that the Cavs aren't as good as initially believed or did it show the Celtics win over the Wizards in Washington two weeks ago was more impressive than we all thought?

. It is sickening watching Lebron ram into a defender, who gets bounced 5 feet away, and no foul ever gets called on “King James”.  The refs have ruined the game.  Glad the Cavs lost.

I did have this thought watching that. This makes jordans push off on Russell look like a pinky tickle. If they don't start calling that more on Lebron as he ages and slows down it is going to make the NBA pretty laughable

Some of the no calls on Lebron in this game were some of the most egregious no calls I have seen in a while. Msybe its because I don't watch a ton of Cavs games but tonight was pretty bad.
