LeBron Returned but Still Lost

On Tuesday, January 13, 2015, LeBron made his return from back and knee injury which was suppose to keep him out for two weeks, but he made an early return. LeBron and the Cavaliers faced off in Phoenix against the Suns where the Cavalier would fall short 100-107. Now the Cavaliers record is 19-20 just one game behind the .500 mark. No team has won a championship at or below .500 mark within 30 games into the season. People are already counting out the Cavaliers in the Finals picture and knowing that Cleveland forward Kevin Love and point guard Kyrie Irving have no playoff experience. But that was not the news of yesterday, yesterdays news was LeBron pushing his head coach David Blatt. LeBron was arguing a call for an offensive foul, but it seemed his head coach was a little to fired up and almost got a technical foul, so, LeBron pushed Blatt toward the Cavaliers bench. Blatt and James both faced media attention on the push and this is what James had to say, "I got called for an offensive foul, and they said I hooked one of the Morris twins on a post-up when he grabbed me, it was a referee that was away from the play (who called it). I was talking to Eric Lewis, one of the refs, and Coach Blatt was getting a little fired up about it, too, and he was on his way to a technical. So I just got him up out of the way before he got a T. So, just protecting my coach. Blatt said, "He was trying to keep me from getting a technical foul." Despite LeBron making 33 points along with seven rebounds and five assists, the Cavaliers are still in a losing streak. Kevin Love had to say this after Tuesdays loss versus Phoenix, "We've woken up and we're ready to play, we know that we're desperate for a win, and hopefully we can get one on Thursday."
