Round 2 Game 1 Toronto Raptors @ Cleveland Cavaliers Mon May 1st 2017 7pm

I love the complaints about LeBron's minutes. It's like complaining that Cy Young pitched too many innings.

Wilt went a whole season missing eight minutes -- and that's only because he got Dahntay'd one game with eight to go. Averaged 48.5 mpg.

Yeah I saw the replay and still have no clue what warranted an ejection there

They didn't want a malice in the palace to happen with 5 seconds left in the game. He shouldnt have been ejected but i get it.

Chasing that elusive "toughness". Thanks for bringing your A game Dahntay.

Not even sure what that means.. cause yes, my posts ARE intelligent and thoughtful. Do you deny being a non stop grump who's main goal is just to try to make posters look bad? Cause that is YOUR m.o.

Dear Lord game threads suck sometimes. Non stop bitching in a 20 point blowout.

Your posts are rarely, if ever, either of things. Overly emotional, that's more your speed.

And he fucked at least 2 chicks a day.

A Lonnie Shelton hat trick.

Being out there with this crew is messing with Deron's insane efficiency stats

And I'm seeing some reasons Derrick Williams isn't getting more minutes

Deron was -11 and getting ate alive by Lowry before scrimmage crew showed up

I don't think the crappy play by the third unit should obscure the fact that the Cavs half-court defense looked as good as it has all season tonight. It's not like they won because some Raptor player had an abysmal night. They made the Raptors as a team look incompetent on offense. That was a great performance by most of the Cavs on the defensive end.

WTF is James Harden wearing?

Your posts in this thread have been uninformed and bitchy. Deal with being called out for it like a man, or don't.

You serious? Like it may be your personal preference but have you not followed LeBrons career? He plays as much as he wants to.

The guy has legendary in season and off season workouts. Not including practice and games. He is a cyborg. His nine bone structure, body mass, and durability is not normal, even for the most elite of the elite athletes.

He's no more likely to injure himself with 4 minutes left than at almost any other time of his daily life short of sleeping, playing, naps and video games.

Furthermore, a good playoff team, as long as their starters are still on can make up 15-18 points not 4-5 minutes. You don't just sit your starter at 5-6 minutes left with a lead fluctuating between 16-20. 25-30 sure. But we weren't at that point.

If it bothers you fine. That can be your thing. But taking it out on the coaches is pointless.

As much as I love your hyperbole descriptions, this is simply not true.
Injuries can occur in all sorts of bizarre ways. It's enough he goes for a layup and lands wrong on someone else's foot.
Literally every second a player, any player, is in the game - is an injury risk.
When we're blowing a team out, there's absolutely no reason to keep LeBron in the game and risk injury. Until the finals, we should rest LeBron as much as possible.
Not because he can't take 45 minutes a night, he can (though seeing him close out games while totally gassed is frustrating). But because, again, sitting on the bench drinking Gatorade is much less risky than playing full contact basketball in the NBA.

What is nine bone structure?
