The Cleveland Cavaliers haven’t played a game since Friday, May 27. When they take the court against the Golden State Warriors, in game 1 of the 2016 NBA finals, it’ll be almost a week of preparing. LeBron James, Tyronn Lue, and Kyrie Irving, despite the unflattering expectations from everyone else, think this time it’s going to be different.

While the Cleveland Cavaliers are still on course to finish first in the Eastern Conference and it’s hard to find someone who doesn’t think they’ll make the NBA finals, but there’s an obvious burden with LeBron James, who is the team’s best player, but also someone who can’t seem to keep his ego in check, and doesn’t seem to realize or worse, care about what his actions do to the team.

Some games are lost just because you entered a game feeling complacent, and for a team like the Cleveland Cavaliers, that should be driven by hunger, revenge and the need to show everyone they are good enough to win an NBA championship, it’s inexplicable to have these kind of games.

The Cleveland Cavaliers losing two games in a row isn’t the end of the world, especially when LeBron James sits out one of them. But Tyronn Lue admitting he doesn’t really have control of his star player while the brewing unhappiness bubbling under the surface as shown by J.R. Smith casts another negative light on a franchise that seems to be doing things the wrong way.
