Looking at the Cavs, Cleveland has been lacking efficiency even though they acquired Kyle Korver in a trade. After a questionable interview with Lebron James, he stated the current roster lacks an additional playmaker for when Kyrie and Lebron are resting.

This would lead to the improvement of the team as a whole as well as add another distributor to further the team’s ball movement. As of recently Lebron James had an abrupt outburst targeting TNT personality Charles Barkley relating to Lebron’s desire to improve Cleveland’s roster and multiple personnel. Lebron James has been criticized for his lack of wanting to compete against high level competition by constantly complaining about the weaknesses of his team and the referees as a whole.

Looking at the local team, the Washington Wizards who have been playing very well placing fifth in the eastern conference standings. There success is credited to their head coach Scott Brooks who has shown that he can really do his job looking at his run in Oklahoma City where his Thunder had several playoff appearances as well a one finals appearance but lost at the hands of king James.

The Cav’s rookies have shown promise with great performances from Kay Felder and Jordan McCrae. Lebron is still not happy with his roster although there general manager David Griffin has provided Lebron with everything he has asked for. The Cavs lost tremendously to the Golden state warriors with a loss of a forty point difference.
