The 27-18 Cavaliers have lost 10 of their last 14 games - and after a 24-point loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder that saw them give up 148 points on Saturday night, January 20, the buzz about a possible coaching change is as loud as it has been all season in Cleveland.
To hometown great and decorated team captain, Lebron James, that's not news that he favors hearing, he says. But in the same breath, he claims that it's not something that is in his hands.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen with our team. I have no idea what conversations have been going on. I'm just, me personally, I’ve been trying to stay as laser-sharp as I can to keep my guys ready to go out and play," James told reporters, after confessing that he doesn't want to see Tyron Lue lose his job over the team's recent troubles. The city's all-time basketball great then admitted that although such a shift in personnel is not something he'd be looking forward to, what the organization does is not his current focus.
"You know, obviously it hasn't resulted in wins, but I've got to stay as fresh mentally as much as I can. I mean, with the struggles. I can't worry about job security or trades or things of that nature," he said. "I've just got to stay as focused as I can every night to go out and compete and try to help us win ballgames.”
