If you have not heard, LeBron James has reached 30,000 pts. in a career. Congrats to LeBron, but his team–the Cleveland Cavaliers are losing. Since the start of the 2018, the Cavs have only won 3 games and have now loss 7 to subpar teams. The only wins in this year are against Portland and Orlando.
30,000 career points: earned not given.
Congratulations to @KingJames, who just became the youngest player in NBA history to score 30K.#StriveForGreatness pic.twitter.com/tHmuVGGK6L— Cleveland Cavaliers (@cavs) January 24, 2018
The Cavs need to find help soon, or the chances of them even reaching the NBA Finals might be long-shot.
Who’s to blame?
Well my vote goes to Isaiah Thomas. Since his return at the start of the year, the caves are 3-7. The Cavs have been trying to get Thomas on the floor since they traded Kyrie Irving for him. The Cavs chemistry has been thrown off since the addition of Thomas.
The Cavs this past week held a meeting to figure out what was wrong, and all the blame seems to be put on Kevin Loves shoulders, which is crazy.
The Cleveland Cavaliers held an emotional team meeting prior to Monday’s practice, where several players challenged the legitimacy of Kevin Love leaving OKC loss on Saturday ill and missing Sunday’s practice, league sources tell ESPN.

The Cavs have recently inquired about King’s guard, George Hill, for Iman Shumpert and Channing Frye. The Cavs might have to add to that deal, but it could be a step in the right direction.
