Maybe LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers really do just enjoy “Arthur.”
The Cavs took care of business Monday night at Madison Square Garden, erasing a 23-point deficit to beat the New York Knicks 104-101. Cleveland now has won three of four games since James’ now-infamous “Arthur meme” Instagram post, a fact that’s not lost on LeBron’s teammates.
How do we know this? Well, because after the game, Isaiah Thomas just so happened to post about “Arthur” — with James’ same caption.

Coincidence? Not so much. Here’s teammate Jeff Green’s Instagram post from Monday night:

We’re sensing a trend here.
So, yeah. It appears the Cavs’ “mood” has changed considerably over the past week.
Cleveland still is just 7-7 and in ninth place in the Eastern Conference, but considering all the heat they’ve taken already this season, we don’t blame them for firing back at the critics a bit.
