Yesterday, the Cavs beat the Spurs, 101-87, and once again played well at home against a good team, advancing to 14-2 against teams with a record over .500. What’s troubling is their record against sub-.500 teams: 5-5.
“We have to grow up,” James said. “We can’t keep beating Phoenix, Detroit and San Antonio and then lose to sub-par teams.”
Obviously, their record against good teams is encouraging, but their mediocre performance against mediocre/bad teams is worrisome for Cavs fans. They’ll likely be facing a so-so team in the first round of the playoffs, so if this kind of play continues, they may run into trouble getting to the second round.
