Few people are as passionate about the Cleveland Cavaliers mt coins 2k20 as LeBron James. The three-time NBA champion is the Cavs’ leading voice and often an on-court lieutenant for head coach Tyronn Lue.

On Thursday, the Cavs were in Portland to face the Trail Blazers and things got rather heated on the sidelines during the first quarter, with James and Lue making their points very clear to one another from opposite sides of the bench.

The reason behind the confrontation remains unclear, although the fact it unfolded at a time when the Cavs had mismanaged a number of rotations as the Blazers persistently cut down the baseline might have had something to do with it.

Regardless of the reason, the incident was not a good look for Cleveland and not just because it came ahead of a 113-105 defeat in Oregon.

Discontent has been simmering in the Cavs locker room for the best part of the season. Last summer, internal strife led to Kyrie Irving being shipped to Boston in exchange for a package including Isaiah Thomas. The latter lasted only a couple of months in Ohio, before the Cavs traded him, Channing Frye and a 2018 first-round draft pick to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr.

Earlier this month, J.R. Smith was suspended for one game ahead of the Cavs match against the Philadelphia 76ers for throwing a bowl of soup at Cavs assistant coach Damon Jones.

The tension within the Cavs ranks threatens to derail their bid for a fourth consecutive final appearance, with Cleveland currently sitting fourth in the Eastern Conference with a 39-29 record.

Having won four games in a row just before the buy mt nba 2k20 All Star Game break, the Cavs lost seven of the next 12, displaying some worrying inconsistency.
