CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Scribbles in my Cleveland Cavaliers notebook as the losses pile up:
1. Tyronn Lue is facing the biggest challenge of his young career as a head coach. He is a coach who earned his reputation for defensive strategy, but his team is a defensive disaster. They ranked No. 22 out of 30 teams in defensive efficiency. That's an embarrassment.
2. Lue may believe he has been receiving a lot of criticism, but it's been very mild. He earned a lot of respect for the job he did last season. He has a championship ring, and that can never be taken away from him.
