LeBron James had been on the bench for just a minute-and-a-half of game time in the second quarter Monday before deciding he'd seen enough.
After his Cavaliers labored through a couple stagnant, fruitless possessions against the San Antonio Spurs, James could be seen on the bench urging head coach Tyronn Lue to call a timeout. Lue obliged, and when it was over James returned to the game after his 90-second respite.
As proof that nothing is working for the Cavs right now, James was promptly stripped by Kawhi Leonard on the first possession after the timeout.
