Cleveland Cavaliers star Lebron James is not yet over their finals loss last season to Golden State Warriors, at least that's what fans think after his latest statement.
"I think it comes with a lot of health," James told ESPN.com's Dave McMenamin when asked about Warriors' 15-0 start which ties the best record currently held by Washington Bullets and Houston Rockets.
"They've been healthy. They've been the most healthy team I've ever seen in NBA history, and they have great talent. Those guys all play for one common goal and that's to win, and that's all that matters."
It can be remembered that Cleveland Cavaliers and Lebron James battled Golden State Warriors and Stephen Curry in the NBA finals without their two superstars - Kevin Love due to dislocated shoulder and Kyrie Irving in the finals due to knee injury. They eventually fell to Dub Nation after six games.
A lot of NBA personalities have questioned Warriors' championship. Los Angeles Clippers coach Doc Rivers said Warriors got off easy because of injuries to many teams while JJ Reddick said the Bay Area franchise "didn't have one bad break" en route to their victory.
Coming into the 2015-16 NBA season, it is the Cavs who people thought will go out with stronger desire to go all the way. After their failed NBA championship last season against Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers' are still viewed as contenders but Lebron James is not satisfied with their campaign yet.
James wants his teammates to step up their efforts and it s was obvious in their win against Atlanta Hawks the other day. King James walked to the bench in the middle of a play, leading to a technical foul. He has since then apologized for his behavior.
"I blew a gasket. You know what that mean? I apologized to my teammates for it," he said per ESPN.com's Dave McMenamin.
Cavs already have a big lead at that time but the four-time season MVP insists that is not an excuse to be not upset. His coach David Blatt said James was only frustrated that they are not playing the right way.
"Well, he was frustrated. He knew we weren't playing right," Blatt said. "And [he] thought we were playing hockey. A hockey sub.
"You know, 'Bron is a lot of things -- a lot of great things -- but probably where you're not going to see him is out there playing for the [Lake Erie] Monsters [an AHL team based in Cleveland] or the [New York] Rangers. You know what I mean?"
