And you're pleased that LeBron had to log 40 minutes on a December back-to-back to achieve that?
It's bullshit. This game should have been over midway through the 3rd, with LeBron getting some much-needed rest.
People's obsession with minutes in an NBA that has drastically reduced the overall number of back to backs and 4 games in 5 nights is unreal.
The type of insane rest and rehab routine and tech that LeBron uses is also so different to anything common 8-10 years ago.
The assertion that the game should have been over by mid third quarter is a complete disregard for the quality of tonight's opponents and their coaching staff. There are two teams on the court.
You're acting as if the Cavs got lazy and allowed the Mavs or Nets to take them down to the wire or as of LeBron was exerting playoff level effort tonight. He was amazing but this was not that type of energy draining game.
Not trying to be combative just do not see this the same way as you.
