Though the Cavaliers stand at 6-1 through first few weeks of the season, there has been consistent criticism of the team, and it is coming from the locker room.
Over the weekend, veteran swingman James Jones blasted his teammates for starting most of their games in the first quarter very poorly. And he had a valid point. The Cavs have had some lackluster opening quarters recently, including 32-18 against the 76ers, as well as the Knicks.
Though the Cavs edged the Pacers through the first, 24-22, the team responded well later in the game.
” Everyone needs to be able to handle constructive criticism,” James instructed after the game Sunday night.
