If you're an LBJ hater than just move on. European soccer trainers and sports scientists get sidetracked watching Lebron. Lebron James' Unfathomable Workload They make a case not only for how absurd Lebron's performance is, but the NBA schedule overall. Could be one of the toughest in all of pro sports globally. Plenty more at the link. At this point I'm getting worried he will sustain a serious injury that could sidetrack next season. That 2 week layoff many criticized looks absolutely necessary considering the situation now.
The second most important and best Cavs player seems to be Mozgov in this series. His stock must be skyrocketting...
Remember who is drawing the attention in the post. Remember who is feeding him! Mozgov is a great role player, but he can't consistently create his own shots.

Good enough to catch some laser shot passes.... I've never seen any big besides Bosh who is a 4 be able to complement Lebron that well. It was amazing. He's better than Asik overall in that regard.
I think the Cavs should switch their coverage of the small ball lineup. They should put Mozgov on Green instead of Iguodala and then Livingston after that. Iggy is actually a much better playmaker and has been a capable three point shooter for a while. Green is not nearly as good from 3 and Livingston won't even attempt them unless he's in the corners. I'm sure the only reason they don't have Mozgov is that they don't want him in the PnR action but they can mitigate this by having more of a team approach to PnR defense. They need to realize that the Warriors have all "smalls" on the court and there's really not much downside to switching a wing to defend the post.
5 straight Finals appearances and his body language. He's spent and done... Honestly every year after this season will be coasting.
You know it's complete error that you stated? 0-6? These finals have yet to be determined. And then there's the games he won. He's won 2 Finals without Wade as well as other Finals Games Wade did not play in with Miami.
Actually, it's a must win for the Warriors. If they lose, they go to Cleveland for the elimination game. If the Cavs lose, they go home and regroup. And anything can happen in Game 7.
