LOL, the only "real time factor" here is that KLove is injured, Lue wants to ride Lebron, Lebron is too proud to admit he has any limits, and so the lowest ranking guy (Mancias) falls in line. Mancias gave his considered view and plan before the season.

Glad that you're so privy to the thoughts of LeBron and Mike Mancias. What other inside info do you have?While you're at it, what is the next television production that Maverick and Bron are considering?
Or is that just speculation?
Because this message was also being given(through different media outlets) by both of them even BEFORE the Love injury. So again, where's your inside info coming from?
As much as as it was about LeBron "choking" it was also about him being fatigued against Dallas as well.
He wasn't in the same shape as he was with the Cavs. Which is on him. Then the Heat were playing him the majority of the game and chase Jason Terry off screens all game.
LeBron can't be stubborn and needs to stop subbing himself into games after a short break.
Cavs got lucky LeBron had enough energy to get that block in game 7. However, he couldn't get any lift on the next play on offense.
Really gotta be smart.

We can argue all we want about whether minutes played or games played makes more of a difference. Personally I think it's pretty obvious common sense that it's both... body needs rest to recover, and you also don't want to push the body beyond it's limits.
I believe whatever issues LeBron had when he cramped up have been resolved, but this is just an example of him playing too many minutes and his body breaking down in the Finals.
I'd like to see 32mpg from here on out and 4-5 games off.

And Michael was the greatest at what he did!!
I get your point, but bad example.
I'm still standing by what Mancias and LeBron have most recently said/whats been reported about their approach regarding his minutes.
I am the first person on here criticizing the Cavs when they play LBJ in games they shouldn't have. I was furious at him playing vs OKC. Really I haven't wanted LBJ(or any of the big 3 for that matter) playing in ANY of the recent road back-to-backs. I legitimately believe in the "games matter, minutes not as much" mantra, because I think we've seen that be true for LeBron in recent years....(plus it's like 37 minutes a game instead of 34-35, not 42+,)

This has always been the player LeBron wanted to be anyway.
Just now, he's surrounded by enough talent to be a facilitator first many nights.
There are still the nights he must rescue us and put up 35, but there have been less of those this season than in any year past.

LeBron playing conductor and finding open guy after open guy for three after three and dunk after dunk with amazing pass after amazing pass is probably the most enjoyable basketball I have ever watched in my life.
He really is turning into Magic Johnson as a distributor.

Truly a maestro.. If he gets his playmaker he'll be more dangerous being a secondary pg as a rollman... And if he gets his bigman, he can coast on defense the remainder of the season, and just become a secondary line of defense... He's playing a ton of minutes but the workload is not as heavy as before.. Let him play 35mins as a playmaker and we'll see a more efficient and rested lbj..

Lebron loves Korver. I can see it everytime they look in each others eyes.

Watching yesterday's game I was struck by just how much better LeBron is than Melo at literally every facet of the game. I mean I guess I already knew this, but it was so painfully obvious last night. And I'm by no means a Melo hater; I actually think Melo has almost become underrated (I just think he's a bad fit to pair with a much younger young Porzingis). It's just that LeBron controls a game like some sort of puppet master. You can literally see him pointing people around and telling them what to do. The tempo of the game seems to be always exactly whatever he chooses it to be. His defensive effort waxes and wanes, but when he wants to exert himself there, he can control that end of the floor too. And his passing is another level altogether.

Carmelo is a better jump shooter, and always has been.

I just looked at their career stats and bron beats him in everything except ft% and 3p% which melo is winning by .05% lol. Its craY how bron has maintained his performance and evolve hes game as well. Melo is still a great player but bron its just a diff tier.
