It was a very close game between Cavs and the blazers , as I predicted a Cavaliers win , there was an opportunity but was very hard , LeBron James played big time game as usual scoring 35 points , 14 rebounds but still can't carry the team only by his own , he needs help from other players , we expect the comeback of Kevin love being healthy to help LeBron , but I think J.R Smith should do better than this poor games that he's playing right now . Any way the Cavs shouldn't be worried for playoffs qualification but some improvement specially in defence should be done .
Any superstars need help from their teammates.
LeBron James production is good overall it's just that less productivity was being made by this teammates. They are lacking of big men too (Tristan Thompson & Larry Nance Jr. ) that increase the difficulty of winning the game. But on the other hand, Portland Trail Blazers really played great so no questioned at all why they won. CJ McCollum and Damian Lillard combined for 53 points and that is really a kind of a monster performance by them. One of the great duos in the league.
Cavaliers bench is enjoying watching James and his monstrous jam that they totally forgot that they are in a game. Lol.

Kidding aside, the injury of Cavaliers side has contributed to their lost. And then the bench players can't get anything going and James has to take over, unfortunately it was not enough as CJ and Damian for another perfect performance. Make it 12 now at this will be facing Detroit next game.
Did you imagined now how long the playoffs streak of San Antonio Spurs? 
. They might not able to get through on the playoffs spot then they dont have any choice but to take some time to relax and results would really vary on how they would perform on the remaining games and as you said they must really do a 10-4 to see some light but my instincts an intuition tell me that they wont make it through but well its still early to judge.
