LeBron's struggles only delay the inevitable

"We got a slice of some humble pie," said Cleveland point guard Kyrie Irving after Monday's game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The quote comes after he and his Cavs teammates lost 111-108 to the Boston Celtics, squandering a 21-point, third quarter lead to a team playing without its best player Isaiah Thomas. There's likely a number of valid reasons why Cleveland lost, but the for the most obvious reason look no further than No. 23 for the Cavs, LeBron James. That humble pie Irving mentioned - the biggest slice went to James locker after the game. In 45 minutes played, Cleveland's best player scored just 11 points on 4-for-13 shooting against Boston. Fans took notice of his struggles and went to Twitter. LeBron finished with just 11 points tonight. He also didn't score in the final 16 or so minutes. Didn't look engaged the entire night. — Tomer Azarly (@TomerAzarly) May 22, 2017 That's unacceptable for a player averaging 32 points pe
