I wonder what is the moneyline odds offered for Miami Heat. If ever there is a risk taker I think that's a nice profit as any opponent of Golden State Warriors are having a decent odds. On the other hand, Im not surprised with the Pelicans moneyline odds since I think it's not that high as they are one of the above average team in the NBA even against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Speaking of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Lebron James is really pissed off with the output of the game. Well for me I will be pissed too if ever. Imagine those 97 points by big 3 and their total score is 122, what his other teammates doing all the time? Also Lebron and Kyrie have really gone for so much playing time which is not good as it was tiring. Lue doesn't have a choice if their other teammates doesn't moving up.
Lebron James raged fo 5 defeats in their last 7 games. He is asking the company to another point guard who can help him and Irving.
Lebron James in the last game played 44 of 48 minutes and is the one who has played more in the NBA (37.3 minutes on average).
Lebron James thinks in Cleveland are satisfied for the win last year but he wants to keep winning and does not approve of what's happening.
It's definitely not because of the players, they have a lot of players that can step up. It's the coach decision on how he will manage his squad, and if he put more minutes to his starters, that would simply mean that he does not trust so much of his bench players.
I suggest, they have to follow the warriors players rotation, they will improve for sure.
Some insights of Cleveland Cavaliers in their last game against the Pelicans:
Tristan Thompson: 27 minutes | 2 points
Iman Shumpert: 27 minutes | 10 points
Richard Jefferson: 22 minutes | 5 points
Kyle Korver: 26 minutes | 5 points
See some of them have lots of playing time as per role. And looks like you didn't watched the whole game. The Cavaliers are being down for really a large margin of lead since the start of the game up to third and the largest was they are being down to 22 points . So you will use bench here to make a run? As you can see they aren't effective that night so Lue has to put up more minutes on his starters to make some comeback. Pelicans are not a weak team and can able to maintain a large lead so what will be the effect of it if Lue plays his bench squad to make a run?
