LeBron: NBA should take us off every nationally televised game for the rest of the season

LeBron James scored only 11 points in loss to the Rockets shooting 3 for 10 from the field.

Per ESPN, "I'm lost for words, actually," James said, referring to the Cavs' streak on national TV. "They should take us off every nationally televised game for the rest of the season. We haven't played good ball and we get our butts kicked every time we play on national television, so I'm at a loss for words."

The Cavs have gone through midseason struggles in each of the past three years but rallied to reach the NBA Finals each time.

"We gotta stop worrying about the past," James said. "This is this season, and we haven't played well versus anyone."

The Cavs have also made trades during the season in each of the past three seasons. This year they haven't made a deal, and the trade deadline is Thursday.

"That's not a question for me. I show up to work every day. I bust my tail every day. I'm the first one to get to the gym and I'm one of the last ones to leave," James said. "I do my part. I control what I can control, and that is what I can control."
