The Cleveland Cavaliers fell to 3-3 with a 123-101 loss at the New Orleans Pelicans.

"I'm fine. I'm fine and we're fine," James said.

James sat out the fourth quarter after the Pelicans pulled away from the Cavaliers.

"It's a long season," James said. "It's way too (early to judge). We're out two starting point guards. So, I'm not overlooking what's going on. I wasn't overlooking if we had success, I'm not going to overlook if we had a couple games off. I'm not getting too high and getting too low. I'm an even-keel guy. I understand this is a long process. We played some different (lineups), like I told you guys, we played some crazy lineups that we haven't even played in practice. So, we'll continue to get better.

"There's going to be some games where we don't look as good unfortunately but that's all part of the process and we just have to be patient with it until we can become full strength and we got lineups and things out there that we all can become comfortable with."

Cleveland has the most expensive payroll in the NBA at $137 million and also the league's oldest roster.
