The Cleveland Cavaliers currently hold the No. 1 seed in the NBA's Eastern Conference. But after the Cavs' third loss in four games, the lead is dwindling, and one of their players thinks it's a major concern.
J.R. Smith, who had eight points and four rebounds in Cleveland's 113-99 loss to the Washington Wizards on Sunday, is worried about the direction his team is headed, per Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com:
We can't play basketball like this going down the stretch. There's 24, 25 games left in the year and you talk about contending, being a championship contender and get blown out by a team.
