Mike Brown has insisted that the Cleveland Cavaliers are not panicking, despite winning just four games so far this season.
The Central Division side are yet to win a game away from home this season, and play their next two games on the road.
The head coach told the team's website: "Don't get me wrong, we want to win games while we're going through this process, nobody likes to lose. I don't know if I'm a guy that'll panic, anyway. What does panicking do for you?
"I have a job and my job is to help this team get better, try to win some games. And if I panic, they're going to panic and it'd just be chaotic, so I don't care where we are, I'm not going to do that.
"I took this job because I think we can get to the playoffs. Is it going to be a process? Yes. Is it going to happen overnight? No. But I didn't take the job hoping that there wouldn't be expectations on us, because that's what you compete for."
The Cavaliers face the New Orleans Pelicans later today.
