LeBron played 44 minutes. It's just out of this world, nothing justifies it.
There were alternatives. He had a lot of trashy/desengaged moments during the game, Jefferson/Shumpert/Liggins all could have had more minutes.
It was tough to take Irving away because he was spectacular, but 3 or 4 less minutes could also be given to those guys.
Olynik did not make a single legal basketball play all game. The guy just shoves and flops
