Tyronn Lue Calls Out Cavs Players for Troubling Start to Season

a group of people standing in front of a crowd: 2017 NBA Finals - Game Five

It's seven games into the Cleveland Cavaliers' season and they're looking worse than ever.

They're a measly 3-4, and although LeBron James is playing well, no one else is stepping up to the plate.

Despite a bevy of problems including lack of production on offense, the most obvious is the team's defense -- or lack of it. The team is slow to rotate to the open man, closeouts are half-hearted, and assignments are being blown left and right.

So far this season, the Cavs have put forth seven lackluster defensive efforts, most notably in their double-digit loss to the New York Knicks.

Head coach Tyronn Lue as an idea about what is causing the poor defensive effort. Here's what he told Joe Vardon of the Cleveland Plain Dealer:

"Guys got to get in better shape, we understand that. A lot of times when we make runs guys ask to come out because they're tired. It's got to be a balance, getting in shape, but also getting smart."

It also doesn't help that the Cavs are on average the oldest team in the NBA.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are the oldest team in the league at an average age of 30.1, and through 6 games on the season, it's showing.

Lue also thinks there's another reason why the team hasn't quite hit its stride yet.

"The other interesting theory Lue introduced tonight: some of the Cavs' new players are struggling because playing alongside James is 'intimidating.'"

Whatever it is, this team need to figure it out quick, before they become the laughingstock of the entire NBA.

R. Tiglao Exposed LTO Records Showing Aquino Never Bought or Sold a Porsche

Veteran columnist Rigoberto Tiglao exposed the Land Transportation Office (LTO) records of former President Benigno Aquino III showing that he never bought or sold an expensive Porsche car. The LTO records proved that the former President did not sold his Porsche 911 Carrera car which he claimed he bought for P5 million. The controversial Porsche car of the former President made headlines just months into his presidency but he explained that he bought the luxury car with the proceeds he got when he sold his BMW. Because of the furor from such display of opulence, Pres. Aquino claimed to have sold it six months later for exactly the same price. According to Tiglao during that time he asked through his column the LTO to release the car's deed of sale and registration to prove that it was not a gift from a Chinese-Filipino tycoon as rumored by some individuals critical to the President. The only possible way to discover whether the Porsche luxury was indeed sold was through ...
