LeBron James

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Whe have to attack the paint early and get DMC into foul trouble. That would be a good gameplan.
On D it would be hard to guard him with his long range.

Would imagine @KingJames resting his sprained wrist another game or two. Makes no sense to rush back with #Cavs facing 3 "easy" teams ahead.


Really going to need Kevin Love to step up.

He should not play if he needs to rest the hurt hand, but in this league, momentum can change quickly.

As for three supposedly "easy" teams, the Kings with Boogie aren't that bad (we saw that first hand), and their schedule has been the 2nd toughest so far. They rebound the hell out of the ball (best rebounding team in the league), and when Cousins is on court, they are a very good team. When he's off the court, they are terrible. He's +6.5 points per 100 possessions, and the Kings are almost 20 points per 100 possessions better with him on court compared to when he's off. The Kings won't be easy to beat.

Minnesota is a different team with two good NBA players in Pekovic and Martin back. They'll be up for Love and the Cavs and that game won't be easy.

Philadelphia game should be easy...*thinks back to that last abomination...*
 
The Kings are tough: they had their way with us last game without Bron Bron

I think with Marion and Shumpert back it will help a lot as Gay just abused JR and whoever else we put on him so I don't think that will repeat. On the other hand I doubt we get another 55 point performance again and the team is going to have to start hitting some shots. Been bricking a lot of open jumpers again the last 2 games.
 
So this has turned into the Cavs using a wrist injury to rest Lebron when we have momentum . If Kyrie isn't on fire we lose to Portland and also we got blown out by the Kings about two weeks ago . Love is in a slump etc. If he is healthy he should play he just had two weeks off.
 
I'm hoping LBJ plays today. I'm not confident at all that we can beat the Kings without him and we really need to capitalize on the Bulls dropping a gimme game to the Lakers.

If his wrist is seriously injured, then fine sit him but he has already had multiple weeks off and the AS break is right around the corner. If it's just sore and won't become injured worse by playing, lace em up!
 
LeBron needs to man up and play for CavsSimmy tonight. Put a cast on the bad wrist and only use the other one to dribble. Come on man!
 
Can't believe local media is saying this will be an easy one.
Have a bad feeling if James is indeed out.
We have great momentum right now. We are on a winning streak, Bulls are very inconsistent, possibly losing to Phoenix tonight...
Really don't want James to miss this one.
 
Definitely scared of Sacramento right now. If I had confidence in Love scoring 25+ it'd be okay but I don't soo...it'll probably be tough.
 
After the draining game Kyrie had to put up Bron needs to play. Especially cause Simmy gonna be there! Wrap that wrist up and play. Take tomorrow off lol
 
Come on guys: team doesn't really care about the Kings even though they could easily lose to them sans Lebron. They're going to do everything in their power to make sure Lebron is available for the Wolves game (reunion with Mo and Love obviously). If Love is hurt then more then even they'll want a fully health Lebron for that game.
 
LeBron needs to stop doing that. He had at least two days off. He needs to play. The Cavs barely beat the Blazers without him and needed Kyrie's heroic 55 points to saved the day. LeBron has had enough rest. His presence on the court alone is an advantage. The Cavs have built a nice rhythm and he needs to stay active and play in order to keep it going.
