Trouble in Paradise?

Throughout the season, the Cleveland Cavaliers have been seen as a close knit unit, almost like a band of brothers. However, coming off their horrendous loss against the Boston Celtics, the Cavs' team seems to be coming undone. Many of the Cavs' players have reportedly approached the coaching staff offering them advice on things they can change. However, Lebron James has stated that there is no division in the team and still remains confident in his team. The Cleveland Cavs have been favorites in many analysts eyes, however, with the Cavs on the brink of elimination, and persisting problems regarding Lebron's elbow, are the Cavs being a little too relaxed? The Cavs seemed to relax a little too much during their game 5 with the Celtics and as a result, they are left with their backs against the wall. Will King James rise to the occasion, or will he put up another subpar performance? More importantly, if the Cavs do happen to get eliminated, what will this mean for Lebron this summer?

This seems all too familiar. The same thing happened last season with the Cavs. Before the playoffs even started, everyone in the basketball world was speculating that Lebron and Kobe would be facing off in the Finals. But when it came down to it, the Cavs just couldn't pull it off. This year, it seemed like Lebron wanted the championship even more than last season and his fans believed in him. After losing to Boston this series, people are losing their alliances to King James as though he will never be able to reach championship glory. If things are going to change his team will need to want it more than he does and they will have to come back hungerier than they did at the beginning of this season.
