Not good. Cavs seem to get very unlucky with injuries.

Would be nice if they had to overcome some sort of adversity.

No JR, No Love, No Shumpert, Birdman gone.

Meanwhile GSW no injuries in 3 years besides Bogut for a few games. Nice.

No point in QQing about it. Their starters routinely don't play 4th QTs. Not hard to see why they stay healthy, they have a plan and stick to it.

LeBron should be playing 31 mpg. And perhaps 65 games per year. Too conservative? Who cares? Take the 3 seed in the East and maximum health. Then they should tell the NBA to pound sand when they QQ about him sitting in back to backs

For once I agree. The issue is with the injuries Lebron isn't able to do that. That's why he's asking for "help" despite already having a solid roster. The reality is, Irving and Love can't stay healthy enough to carry the team so Lebron can take his 2-week vacation and play <35 minutes a game.

That was 1 of the things that lead him out of Miami wasn't it? A lot had to do with Pat, but I remember reading he was getting frustrated having Wade or Bosh out a decent amount of the time.

He left Miami for a multitude of reasons. It was a combination of their owner slashing salaries, Bosh/Wade turning into hot garbage, and the opportunity to cement his legacy with a now restocked Cavs team.

Hard to QQ because GSW's health when Bogut going down at a terrible time last year sure in the hell didn't hurt what the Cavs went on to do.

The Finals are in June. The East sucks. The injury really isn't a big deal, other than the Cavs losing reps at 100%.

It's too many but something tells me Lebron isn't complaining.

If Lebron really wants reduced minutes, a 10 second convo with Lue would get it done.
