lebron knew the question was coming last night. in my 30 years of sports i haven't met someone smarter than lebron james. he orchestrates much of it and it isn't a bad thing or deeper meaning to his messages or actions. as i said last night before he lit up the nuggets, it could have been as simple as gearing up for the playoffs and shutting down social media as he has done before and same with the sound system in the locker room. he is mentally flipping the switch. than normal. it is right around the corner. i wanted to mentally prepare myself for the distance. >> of course it has to start with him. the rest of the cavs will follow his lead and lebron doesn't have to explain every move he makes to us but we keeps sending out messages. when we get them, they carle weight. i think i may join the snap as in snap chat this week, another way for my fans to ride with me throughout my journey. >>> next the bucs stop here. milwaukee in town. the game is changed to a 7:00 start. can you catch it on fox sports ohio with fred and a.c. i want

lebron james is the bench sunday in washington to get rest and if ron had rejected the idea they lose the games to the wizards there would be more trouble. we know that lebron did not respect david platt but to his credit he shouldn't have, too many coaching mistakes, remember the chicago playoff series question blat was trying to call a timeout when he didn't have one anyone at lebron to throw the inbound pass so someone else could take the final shot in that key game and lebron scrapped that and hit the game-winning shot. james saved blat, losing the game would of giving them a big lead in the series. but does lebron james need to keep making decisions by being the superstar player that both the team into a contender? the coach what to do? i am curious about your thoughts because this team still has issue with chemistry. that. let's talk weather right now with holly and greg. >>> we're talking snow, pretty light this morning reading >> some bands setting up southeast of cleveland that this is not our only chance of snow. >> now it is not. there is another round before we get through

the house will vote on it come today. >>> look at lebron! >> there are a lot of rumors flying around about lebron james. espn's steven a. smith said in a radio discussion that his sources told him lebron has no ties to cleveland and will leave at the end of the season. >> samantha: all right. what a beautiful sunrise there. it's a gorgeous morning out in the park. the sun is am koing up. look at your forecast for today. 72, maybe a late day shower out there. for the most part smooth sailing today. rain overnight, though, and through the day tomorrow. a little more rain is possible, guys, this weekend. >> laura: we're looking on time up 77 right now, but as you get over to 271, i want to show you this again. we've talked about this all morning long. that accident at 271 near broadway. right lane blocked causing big issues. >> brian: thanks very much. that's a busy area off of 271. laura will keep her eye on that. sam will on the beautiful captioning funded by cbs >>> good morning. it is wednesday, march 9th, 2016. welcome to "cbs this morning

and-- today lebron seemed agitated when questioned. >> cause i want to. i would love to go to l.a. but i'll take two and a half over four and a half. things make more sense to me to go south than to go west, but i'll go because i want to. >> after lebron met with the media he sent out another tweet,"can't replace being around friends that reciprocate the same energy back to you in all facets of life" referring to dwyane wade. >>> the wizards tomorrow night. 23 games left to go in the regular season. last year this time the cavs started a clip. this year they are not clicking. erving was asked why. >> some teams fine the fine the last games at the playoffs. for us we just want to play baseball and throw yourself into the teamand live with the results. >> should there be reason for a concern? >> the cavs are 47-42. tonight they play the wizards. they have lost the last three of the five games. >> spring training the indians played the reds -- you're right. and they played them again and it looks as though they are bored. we go out to arizona. danny salazar. twice and make the lead 3-

lebron wants to be a leader. you need to be a leader 24/7 when you're air leader. i love the guy and glad he's championship and glad he came back. i don't know if this was a good idea. just my opinion. people might not agree. >> tia: i don't disagree. i think it's a lot of pressure when you're an athlete, and sometimes you make mistakes, and sometimes you get it right. it's tough. >> brian: listen. he knows what he's doing. he's a smart guy. he knew people were going to see this and he knew the reaction would be bad. he did it anyway. >> tia: he didn't care. time now is 6:37. a fast food restaurant is willing to give you something free. all you have to do is stay off your phone while you eat. i know that would be hard for you, sam. >> samantha: it would. i'm always on amazon prime or doing something on my phone, the weather. from twitter i do that from my phone. if you have your phone out, download that cleveland 19 first alert weather app. it's wonderful and your forecast is always on there. i've got your bus stop forecast right now. 23, and good morning to you. c

maybe lebron james is jealous of steph curry ? he was asked about the series of cryptic tweets because he's been doing this and he said earlier, he said today sd i've got a beautiful mind and sometimes i use itot in a social manner that he went on to say that myci tweets are for educated minds, nothing more nothing less . . some say that this could be the beginning of the end, they are just bored, try to make something out of nothing . the drama and then the tweets just fuel the firen. all that i want is a championship .i want to have that amazing feeling again. >> does that make it any clearer ? >> i don't care. >> the new sexy ?, plain jane, french scientists say to forget aboutf the exotic licking supermodels, bland as the new attractions then studied two sets of women's faces rating attractiveness, most found beauty is playing, psychologists believe men have simple brains, the easier the faces to process, more attractive, first impressions count, and you can subconsciously find someone smoking hot before you consciously realiz

lebron has some problems. russ: yeah. get to last night and what happened with the nets, let's give you a prelude to what's gone on. a report came out this week that lebron said before the end of his career, he'd like to play with his good buddies, carmelo anthony, chris paul and dwayne wade. you say that, now's not the time to think about that. last saturday when his team was down to the heat 21 at half-time, lebron, instead of getting ready for the warmups with his team, is busy talking with dwayne wade chatting. now, you know, the gm and the coach had a chat with him. let's fast forward now to last night. ernie: last night in the nets. russ: the nets -- this is the lowly nets. this is the lowly nets against the first place raptors. the nets closed the game out. they had gone on a 14-0 run. 14-3 run to put away the cleveland cavaliers. these kind of things you can lose, but these kind of things are not supposed to happen to an elite team. ernie: do you think -- maybe this is a stretch. do you think what happ
