LeBron got that same scientist that dude had at the end in Limitless cooking him up some **** that nobody else has. Can't nobody tell me any different.

the only problem i see with him playing heavy minutes when he doesnt have to is the chance he gets hurt while not really having to play because the game is already in the bag

IDK man. I've seen the guy take some bad falls or missteps and he just seems to always "walk off" the pain.
Usually injuries that would take guys out of games, he seems to just play through it. He's that physically wiling as a human being. He may very well play his entire career injury free.
Now, if you get him dehydrated and turn off the AC you might be on to something
In all seriousness, unless the Cavs team collectively ***** the bed, I don't think the Cavs will go down. All he needs is 1 other guy to have a decent night. And there's so many players on the roster than can do it. One night its Kyrie, another is Love or you got TT, Korver can go off, Frye can go off, even Jefferson dropping 15+ is substantive enough.
Which leads to the question--Do you let LeBron go off and shut down everyone else? Or do you sag off in the perimeter, either making him decide to drive in or take the shot. You can send the help, but you have to be selective about it. You almost have to force him to elect to drive whichever side Love or Kyrie isn't on. At this point, you can't help off those guys. Or whoever is guarding him doesn't allow themselves to get screened and manages to go the entire defensive possession switch-free (which is impossible IMO).
Cavs like to run high screen and roll and get mismatchs for LeBron, while the Warriors play motion flow. It's def a lot easier to guard IMO. I just wish the Warriors did more high screen with Green and Curry or Green and Durant. Hell even Durant and Curry would work too.
I have a feeling we'll have another NBA Finals with blowouts at the end of every game.

They gave that series an "extended" lay off so there can be a game every night up to May 23rd. Next game would be the Cavs and Celtics on Friday. Or I think if the Spurs Rockets series went 7, game 1 of the WCF would've been a few days ago. Not entirely sure to be honest. Just my guess.
It just sucks, because now we have 1 day to talk about nothing
But it works out for the NBA fans in the grand scheme of things. Kawhi may very well be able to go game 3 with the extra time off. Just shocked he hurt his ankle and not the knee. I really thought I saw his knee buckle when he came down.

He's definitely playing 40, should be around 42. Anything less and they just lose.

Same with Steph Currys post season, this is flying under the radar because the team hasn't lost. Kyrie is playing like crap isn't he hovering around 40% from the field at this point?

Oh that's not what I meant. Steph Curry has been unreal. MVP Steph numbers we were talking about it yesterday.
Yikes. That's crazy.

My post from yesterday
He HAS to start consistently making shots. Steph is absolutely unconscious right now.

I mean, hasn't Kyrie been terrible in the playoffs with consistency outside of the one finals series?
He was playing terrible that finals before the comeback too.
I don't think his style translates that well to the playoffs.
