Many people watched the “return” game for LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers and were disappointed with the results of the game. That’s all fine and dandy, but fans need to realize that, especially in the NBA, no team is going to win every game. There will be losses where the star players don’t perform up to snuff, and sometimes they occur at the wrong times. cleveland.com reported James’ stats from the game “James finished with 17 points, five rebounds, and four assists. But those numbers do little to tell the story of James’ game. He shot 5-of-15 from the field, but at halftime he was 1-of-9. He committed eight turnovers, two in the fourth quarter.”
Fans, also, need to realize that just because you have a team of star players doesn’t always make it a complete team. Players need to find chemistry with each other and be able to play with each other to be a complete team. Once they find that, the Cleveland Cavaliers will be a force to be reckoned with in the NBA. Until then, expect some losses here and there.
