He set a season-high for points by half-time and Cleveland cruised to their 11th consecutive triumph in this series. The Miami years each had something – his new role as villain, his chase for a first title, his quest for all-time greatness (that 66-win season) and his impending free agency.
“I think our medical team does a great job”.
The Nets are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 2 days rest and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 vs. Eastern Conference.
Taking on a scrappy Orlando Magic team, he put forth what was essentially his first ever “takeover game” as a Cavalier. Just gifted as an all around athlete was LeBron James.
So far, the 2015-2016 National Basketball Association season has gone well for the Cleveland Cavaliers. They were stuck in a halfcourt game and their floor balance was compromised as the Cavs made it an effort to get out in transition.

They dropped Philadelphia to 0-15 and avoided another embarrassing home loss to the Sixers, who snapped an 0-17 start to last season with a win at Target Center. Barnes has a 20-game winning streak against the Minnesota Timberwolves. In order to taste victory one must taste defeat, and for the case of LeBron James that was the case.
The NBA is becoming more of a physical league so each minute played is going to wear James down.
Love had some great games last season, sure, but there never seemed to be a night where he single-handedly mauled the opposing team.
It’s no surprise James is losing his patience with the side-by-side comparisons, which detract from the best part of his game: That it’s happening live in front of our eyes.

Two-time champion and four-time NBA MVP Lebron thinks that he can not do it alone and he eyes Kevin Love is the answer to thwie championship.
