In the eyes of many NBA fans, LeBron James atoned for "The Decision" when he left the Miami Heat to return to Cleveland this summer, but now Cleveland fans are worried that he will break their hearts again. The Cavaliers have struggled so far this season, and there are rumors of discord among the team and the coach.
Cavs Ignoring Coach In Huddle?
The team was expected to contend for a championship, but they are playing poor defense. Kevin Love was supposed to join LeBron and Kryie Irving to give Cleveland a Big Three, but he has yet to find his comfort within the offense. Oh, and there are concerns that the team is already tuning out head coach David Blatt.
According to Cleveland.com, James will not ask for Blatt to be removed, saying "Listen man, I don't pay no bills around here. I play." However, he did not exactly endorse the coach when he said, "He's our coach, I mean, what other coach do we have?"

Concerns have already emerged that James may leave Cleveland a second time if he is not satisfied with the team's chances of contending. James turns 30 today, and he does not want to spend the remaining years of his prime playing for a middling team.
James would surely face an unprecedented backlash from fans and the media if he opted out and left Cleveland again, but reports are that he will not hesitate to leave if he feels that it is the right business decision.
The way things are going, James may not leave, but Blatt already seems to be on the hot seat. The team is 18-12 on the season and sits in fifth place in the Eastern Conference. But the team is not giving the effort that they should each night, especially on defense, and that may not be entirely on the coach.
