LeBron James’ Angry Instagram Post Could Be About Watching Kyrie, Or A Message To The Cavs

LeBron James is going through an unusual stretch of mediocrity. The Cleveland Cavaliers have struggled this season, namely on the defensive end of the floor, and boast a 4-6 record that includes losses to some of the worst teams in the Eastern Conference.

One such loss happened on Sunday night, when Cleveland lost to the Atlanta Hawks. It was kind of stunning, as the Hawks are 100 percent in rebuild mode, but still took it to the Cavs and were able to get a win.

A night later, the Hawks took on the Boston Celtics, who you may have heard now employ LeBron’s former teammate, Kyrie Irving. Boston won, and Irving had a massive night, putting up 35 points and seven assists against the team that the Cavs lost to the night before.

So obviously, when LeBron posts a meme that shows that he’s mad, people are going to put two and two together and assume it’s about the Celtics and Irving.

Of course, this could have been any number of things — he could have stubbed his toe, he could have ran out of wine, he could have gotten upset at Dwyane Wade beating him in a game of checkers, who knows — but we do know that he paid some amount of attention to the game based on his Instagram activity.

Also, if you think this is hilarious, you have a similar sense to Blazers guard Damian Lillard.

Again, this can be about something that has nothing to do with basketball, but seeing as how LeBron has, um, a reputation for strategic posts that have to do with his feelings on hoops, you’re probably not taking a massive leap if you think watching the Celtics roll to their ninth win in a row had him upset.
