CLEVELAND -- Tyronn Lue stood up from his seat following his postgame remarks about the Cleveland Cavaliers' 99-84 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday and pounded the table in front of him.
“Man, it’s tough,” Lue said to a couple of reporters who were following up on what the Cavs coach meant when he lamented his team’s offensive performance. “F---.”
The expression wasn’t an excuse, nor was it a cry for help, as much as it was an honest admission that the realities of the NBA schedule make it hard to implement ideals.
