Going Back to Cali: LeBron's Back to Back LA Sweep

Image
Clippers LeBron played great v. the Clippers: 32 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists.  This game truly showed the benefit of Bron's time off.  Kevin Love did not play, clearing the lanes for Kyrie and Bron.  Irving had 37 points as the superstars are learning to play with each other.  Without Love, Blake Griffin was a problem: 34 points and 10 rebounds, hence the reason we will be able to use K. Love throughout the playoffs. LBJ v. Kobe Kobe came to play: Trash talking, 3's in everyone's face and 8 assists in the first quarter.  Despite Kobe's solid game, LeBron showed who worked harder in the GM's office this offseason.  The Cavs are simply a better team than the Lakers and we must give props to LBJ for making the suits make moves! Kevin Love He simply does not fit with the Cleveland Cavaliers offensive strategy.  When we balance his hard work on defense against his inability to play LBJ's run and gun offense, we have to deal with him, period. ...

5 Things to Consider About the Cleveland Cavalier’s Acquisition of J.R. Smith

ONE LeBron will get J.R. a countless number of open shots If there is one person that loves to shoot it is J.R. Smith and LeBron is just the man to get him all the open shots he can handle.  Ask Mike Miller, Boobie Gibson and Ray Allen (to name a few) how open they have found themselves upon receiving a pass from King James.  LBJ is unselfish enough and J.R. is selfish enough for it to work! TWO LeBron will be able to calm him down J.R. Smith is considered one of the riskiest players in the league due to the immaturity he has displayed in the past.  LBJ has just enough star power to tame Smith.  LeBron is one of the few guys in the league that J.R. has to respect. THREE J.R. Smith adds the athleticism that the Cavs need With LeBron, Kyrie, etc. battling injuries, J.R. is the spark plug the Cavs need to offset the injuries.  The video below speaks for itself: FOUR J.R. Smith was the 6 th Man of the Year 2 years ago Critics of...

Lebron James: Patience is a Virtue

Landing in Miami LeBron will be out 2 week due to his left knee and lower back strain.  After his landing in Miami on Christmas day, LBJ has not been moving the same.  The last time LBJ landed in Miami he left with two championships.  South Beach was not as nice to him this time...Karma? Leaving Cleveland Again? Will LBJ return to Miami?  As mush as I would love, I think the answer is no.  I believe that LBJ learned that he could visit Miami, own a home there and maintain his relationship with D. Wade and C. Bosh whether he plays for the Heat or not. Rest is the Sweet Sauce of Labor LeBron has played more regular season minutes, prior to his 30th birthday, than any player in the history of the NBA.  The Cavs may be taking the San Antonio Spurs approach.  The average age of the Spurs in 29.1 and Cleveland is not far behind with an average age of 28.5.  LBJ has just turned 30 and he is not the type of player that takes games off.
