james vs delly
Its hard defending a guy with superstar status like Rose because if:
- you play him well and force him into a missed shot = people think 'Rose just simply missed that shot' and the defence doesn't get recognised: and
- he makes a shot or two = people jump on your back about your lack of defense.

The funny thing is Irving made defensive errors like that ALL season.
And with Waiters its a lack of effort which is most concerning.

Averaging around 23 mins a game so far, that tells me he's not on Lebrons bad side straight away. Plus there were defensive/offensive mistakes by every player down the stretch today.

Hopefully Delly doesn't become the next Mario Chalmers I.e. LeBron's whipping boy.

Quite the opposite IMO.
Before the season James mentioned Delly often as if he was a big part of that core group of 7 or so players.
I think Lebron would appeciate him for his game IQ and understanding of the game together with his work ethic.
If LBJ is annoyed with anyone its probably Waiters. Lazy and doesn't have the passion and heart of someone like Delly.

LeBron would not be used to being alongside another player with a beast mode. He'll need some time to adjust to Delly being on his team.
