I think if the Cavs win tonight and the Wizards lose, they should maybe rest LeBron since they would have a 3-game lead over the Wizards with less than a handful of games to go.

What do you guys think? Or is there still worry about the Sixers possibly getting that 4 seed as well?

Depends on where you want to be: say if you were gunning for a title say like a bostonand you wanted to assure homecourt, had 3 days off, against a lottery team?

I think we should at least try to reduce his minutes. These guys can all play basketball, and I think they can get it done without Lebron, at least more than the last group.

I still think any particular game can go any way.

Clearly, we're not Boston. I wouldn't expect the Cavs to blow anyone out, and we never really were that type of team anyway. We hang with the really good teams and the really bad teams. I wouldn't say it really has too much bearing on how good of a playoff team we are because we play to keep it close until the 4th.

I don't even want him playing now. I would prefer to shut him down until he is 100%.

We really only need like 2 more wins to seal the deal. WAS is not going to run the table

But we want to be a team that can actually create separation as Hollinger stated point differential correlates better with playoff success then win-loss percentage. At the very least a lead?

Not looking good for the Cavs right now.

I mean, we're contesting those shots. They're just hitting them. Against us, it seems like every team hits contested shots like they're open...
