LeBron Says He Wishes Cavs The Best
LeBron James sees no reason to enjoy the Cavs losing streak.
LeBron said Monday night, before facing the Cavs, that Cleveland's drop from a championship contender to NBA's worst team does nothing to prove that he made the right decision to leave Cleveland and team up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
Cleveland game to the game with a 20 game losing streak and an 8 and 39 record, the worst in the league. With LeBron, Cleveland was one of the best in the league. Now, about 7 months after 'The Decision' Cleveland is approaching the league losing streak record.
"It didn't matter for me if the Cavs were going to have a successful season or not," James said. "I felt like I was making the right choice for me as an individual and for my career. Like I said, I have nothing bad to say about the players that I left and the team. I wish the organization the best. And I wish the fans, more than anything, the best because we had a lot of great years together."

LeBron Explains Tweet
One day after tweaking Dan Gilbert and the Cavs after the Cavs lost 112 to 57, LeBron explained the Tweet.
The Tweet was: "Crazy. Karma is a b----. Gets you every time. It's not good to wish bad on anybody. God sees everything!"
The Tweet seemed to be aimed at Gilbert, for Gilbert sent LeBron a letter wishing him bad luck and telling him he'll bring the Cleveland curse with him down south, when he teamed up with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami.
But before Miami's game against the Los Angeles Clippers, LeBron tried to explain the Tweet.
"It was just how I was feeling at the time,'' he said. "It wasn't even a comment from me, it was someone who sent it to me and I sent it out. It wasn't towards that team. It definitely wasn't a good showing by that team last night, I know they wish they would have played better, but nothing towards them.''
The Cavs 112 - 57 loss was their 11th straight loss.
