SAN ANTONIO -- The Cavaliers' airing of grievances Monday started organically and, yes, ire was at first aimed at Kevin Love.

But frustrations were vented from all corners, to all corners, with everyone from general manager Koby Altman, to coach Tyronn Lue, to Isaiah Thomas, to LeBron James and other players taking criticism.

Now, the Cavs have to play the San Antonio Spurs tonight having lost 10 of the last 14 games and just gone through an emotional meeting -- the details of which were leaked to ESPN and then cleveland.com.

What remains to be seen is if the meeting and the clearing of the air had any galvanizing or healing effect on a team that is clearly wounded.

Hey, at least the team ate together at lunch following shootaround today.

"It's not about one person, it's about all of us," Lue said. "We've got to respond. It's time to start playing better. We've got guys back healthy, we've got to start performing, start playing better."

Players were upset that Love only played 3:04 in a 148-124 loss to the Thunder on Saturday because he was sick, then left for home before the game was over, and didn't come to practice Sunday.

They were questioning not only Love, but also the organization for not accounting for where Love was during the second half.

Lue said he didn't need to hear any explanation from Love -- trainer Steven Spiro told Lue about Love's migraine symptoms that apparently lingered Sunday -- and Lue said being angry with Love after giving up a franchise-record 148 points was misguided.

"I mean, that's crazy," Lue said. "If Kevin was out there we might have given up 170. Who knows, man. We've got to be better, got to just stay together. We're being tested right now. This is when your true character comes out and the character of who you are as a person and as a player. We've got to step up and play basketball."

James declined to discuss anything involving the meeting.

Love, who said the meeting was supposed to be kept in house, also said he hopes it helped.

"Even if it's directed at me or at anybody else, you just hope that it helps and that we can get better from it," Love said. "I think communication, it's funny talking about communication and the lack thereof. Maybe yesterday was a really good thing for us, you never know. Moving forward we hope that we can put it behind us and continue to get better. We have a lot of talent here.

"We feel like we're too good to be on the kind of streak we're on now. Hopefully we can right this ship, if not tonight, we hope it is tonight, but going back home to Cleveland."

Love has drawn the ire of James in the past and been made a scapegoat before during rough stretches in Cleveland. Asked if he felt like a target, he said "I think you guys can answer that."

"It's not about me," Love said. "I'm not going to make it about myself. I'm sure with other guys it's the same thing."

Former Cavs general manager David Griffin used to say this team is at its best in times of chaos. Well, they're about there, wouldn't you say?

"Like living in chaos? I don't like that. Some of these guys do, but we've just got to be better," Lue said.
