not something that you typically kick off this segment with but hey lebron was in town. >> lebron james in town putting on a show, dunk after dunk after dunk after dunk. sixers facing lebron james and cavilers tonight. way the sixers have played you are thinking i necessity how this will play out. but believe it or not, they hang with king james and company, sixers, make it interesting. everyone looking at lebron. he is not looking at the ball, ouch. in the face, pregame. hey stars are out, mike trout, lesean mccoy, and i will bet he will shake lebron's hand. he puts on a show. slam in the first. raise the roof. not if the sixers can help. end of the half jahlil okafor two of his 21. sixers within one at the break. the fourth quarter sixers hanging around, ish smith. yes. sixers within two. but it is too good to be true. lebron takes over. he scores 12 of their final 14 points and he ties his season high with 37. sixers lose by ten. ninety-five-85. they are four-36. >> he just knocking down shots. when he is making shots, good luck. >> we played 40 games, 10 percent have of our schedule

lebron has done just about everything in his career. a couple things lebron james has never done. he has never trailed by 43 in an nba game. anywhere. he has never lost by 34 on this his home court. both things happened tonight as the defending champions came out and simply embarrassed the cavaliers. they lead by 13 in the second quarter and then it spiraled out of control. lebron couldn't get a handle on it and jefferson couldn't. it would get worse, much worse. they would lead by 30 at one point in the second quarter. curry steals it from lebron and it goes the other way. they would lead by 40 in the jr smith wasn't around to see it. he was ejected after a flagrant foul. i don't know about that call. he was done for the night. we lose badly. >> we had a break down and we didn't respond to it.

@i think i will look around and @see lebron behind that @>> lebron has a nice tie @collection, too. @>> they're protecting him. @it's not like he made the call @that day but if he wanted him @to be the head coach, he would @be. @>>> thank you for being with @us. @we have a saturday edition of @"nbc nightly news" of the @coverage of that east cost @storm. @we'll see you later before an

this is lebron right now working out before the cavs take on the bulls. he arrived at the arena more than 3 hours before the game. he never really does that so maybe it's a different sense of business right now for james and the wine and gold. good evening, this will be the first game of the tyronn lue era. he went through his first day as the head coach today with the guys right there and he's the group together, galvanized was the word the gm used yesterday. he needs to get the super stars to play together. >> the thing of this team is you have young super stars and all stars, kyrie, lebron, kevin, it's about working together. those three guys have to learn to play together, learn to sacrifice and that's my job to help those guys and put them in a situation where they wb successful. >> lue is a young guy, only the second former player lebron has played under, silas was the first way back in the day. he likes lue, though, and he likes this move. >> he was well-prepared and i think he showed that when he was being introod for a head coaching job in the su

lebron runs the organization. you can't really battle that. from what i have been told, lebron did not request this to happen. lebron did not actively seek out david griffin or dan gilbert and say i want the coach fired. lebron, i'm told, found out over the phone today after it was already done. >> anticipated, we've got to ask, is this a good move for the cavs? >> yes, i believe it's a good move. david blatt had a lot of trouble transitioning from europe to here. i think tyronn lue will call out lebron james. >> andy, thanks a lot. >>> more breaking news on newschannel5. rta light rail service is shut down right now, this after a suspicious package was found on a train near the buckeye woodhill stop. 6:00. >>> there have been three shootings in downtown in the past monte that have left arrests, the latest happening last night on west 9th. kristin volk has the latest. >> you live in the city. you've got to deal with it. many. >> reporter: what happened at this apartment building last night is the topic of conversa

lebron plays for this team and he is the leader of this team and he desperately wants to lebron doesn't run this organization. lebron is about this organization and he is of this organization. he is of our community, but this narrative that somehow we are taking direction from him, it is just not fair. it is not fair to him in particular, but frankly it is fair to me and our group anymore. >> mark: he can say that. he said everything he can say, but there are people who don't believe it. >> dan: lebron is that organization. if you notice lebron is not >> denise: we want to thank you for joining us. you combine always get the latest news with the cleveland 19 news app. >> dan: we'll keep an eye on the storm on the east coast.

that's my question, dave, why, why lebron? >> why turn to lebron? first of all, so much of cleveland is like a lebron-based economy. he is a person who transcends politics, let alone transcends sports. first and foremost, this is not new historically. you look at the black press in the 1960s. you see demand after demand made on people like willie mays, like henry aaron, to stand up, to say this is bigger than sports. you have public stature. and everybody with public stature needs to stand up and be counted right now. so this is part of a tradition, of kind of the outside pressure on athletes to stand up. the second point, you mentioned this, but i don't think this can be said enough. particularly people criticizing. is that lebron's not just another athlete. he has asked for this weight. he has said, i want to be the ali of my generation. his latest commercial has public enemy playing in the background. well, where do you stand on tamir rice? i agree it's completely perverse that we're, like, asking lebron something and not asking loretta lynch. bu

no different from lebron james and cavalier in this. he is lebron. showed up, put the team on his back. they won the games because he put them on their back and got golden state warriors before they fell apart. gary barnidge. a season for him. and brantly. and very good numbers. >> even better when you consider he was not right all year playing with a bad back and pain all season and this is lebron's night. nobody expects anyone else to win this award. like it will will be lebron and why not. he is clearly the best player in town since what, jim brown? all right. dennis wideman insists this wasn't intentional give me a break. defenseman skates up to the linesman and decks him from behind and wideman says, wait he has plenty of time to review the tape. indefinitely. >>> all right. there you see rain-snow mix occurring right now getting sloppy out there going to all snow showers tonight. >> a: or less expected. warm up over the weekend. all right. thank you for joining us at 6:00 cbs evening news is next.

@it was not lebron's decision. @did he call lebron and ask him @hey should i fire blatt today? @probably not, but no way does @he make this change if lebron @wasn't on board. @blatt was hired before james @came back to the cavs so he had @no say in it. @the relationship was better @this season. @>>> how about this one? @a tweet saying david blatt told @friends from israel last week @it is either me or kevin love. @just surprised lebron didn't @decide sooner. @that is pretty eye opening. @the cavs are taking heat for it @including reaction from rick @carlyle, the presence of the @nba coach's association. @he feels the decision is @bizarre, leaving you with an @empty feeling, saying blatt did @a great job and quote i'm @embarrassed for our league that @something like this could @happen. @david blatt is going to be a @sought after coach. @brendon haywood with the cavs @last year. @he said blatt was hesitant to @head coach last year. @blatt gave lebron special @treatment, wouldn't correct him @during film sessions. @other players lost respect of @blatt and he lost the team and @the

and then they kept kawhi leonard off of lebron james. tyronn shroves studying what the game is, and the -- lue is studying what the game is, and the cavs good morning out and doing it. while i will never overreact to one game if january, you certainly have to recognize that the cavs are following a new game plan. >> do the players actually believe now that there's an opportunity for this team to really get better defensively as we go into the second half of the season? because i think that's where the statement needs to be made if weir going to really make ground against anybody we're going to face in a play-off run. >> you're so right, because, it's not going to be up and down, not going to be up and down like this. it's going to be more half court. so i think improving defensively is important. blustery say this, if you can't take advantage of kevin love offensively, you have to take him off the floor, and the cavs were able to take advantage obviously him offensively. last week when they played the spurs, they attacked kevin love on t
