LeBron calls Cavs ‘fragile,’ says he ‘stinks,’ responds by clobbering Magic
LeBron James had 29 points and 11 assists in three quarters as the Cavs destroyed the Magic.
“We’re a very fragile team right now. We were a fragile team from the beginning. A little adversity hits us, and we just shell up. That’s something that will come with experience.”
“I stink,” he said. “I’m not doing my job.”
Then, on Monday night, against the Magic: 29 points, 11 assists, and it would’ve been more if he hadn’t had to sub out with a quarter left because the Cavs were up by 30 points. The 29 points is his third-highest total of the year, the 11 assist ties a season-high.
Of course, beating the 6-10 Magic isn’t exactly a sign your team is winning the NBA championship, but it’s a step in the right direction for a Cavs team that had struggled and looked listless during their four-game losing streak.
The Cavs are now 6-7 and will try to move to .500 with a win Wednesday night against the Wizards -- although it won’t be easy, as the Wizards just comfortably shut down Cleveland’s offense Friday night.
