LeBron James after loss in Game 1 vs. Celtics: I have zero level of concern at this stage

JR Smith: We have to put the ball on the floor or something. We're living and dying with the 3

NBA
LeBron James is not concerned after the tough loss in Game of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Cavaliers.

Per ESPN, "I have zero level of concern at this stage," James said. "I didn't go to college, so it's not March Madness. You know, you get better throughout the series. You see ways you can get better throughout the series. But I've been down 0-1, I've been down 0-2, I've been down before in the postseason. But for me, there's never no level of concern, no matter how bad I played tonight with seven turnovers, how inefficient I was shooting the ball.
"I'm just as confident going into a series whether it's a 0-0 series or I'm down 0-1. So we have another opportunity to be better as a ball club coming in Tuesday night, and we'll see what happens."
The Cavaliers shot 1-for-12 on uncontested 3-pointers in Game 1 (8 percent) after shooting 45 percent on open 3-pointers this postseason coming into the Eastern Conference finals, according to data compiled by ESPN Stats & Information."We're going to take those same looks going into Game 2 if the opportunity presents itself," James said. "The 3-point shot has been a big part since we pretty much assembled this team four years ago, and I think it's going to be a big part of it throughout the series, as long as we continue to get the ball moving and guys feel in good rhythm."
Still, not all the Cavs agreed with James' continued trust in the long ball.
"We have to put the ball on the floor or something," JR Smith, who was 0-for-3 from deep, told ESPN. "We're living and dying with the 3."
