At one point in the season, it seemed as though the Cavs were barley going to be a top 5 team in the Eastern Conference. This was a major disappointment considering the amount of talent that they have on their team.
Resting LeBron James Will Make A Huge Impact
Before LeBron took his week and a half break, it had seemed as if LeBron was just worn out. LeBron has always put up good numbers, but he seemed physically and mentally drained. In his absence, the Cavaliers were deflated. However, the Cavs seem to be getting it together with LeBron being back and the team continuing to grow in chemistry.
Resting LeBron is something that began in his time with Miami. Every so often he would sit out here and there throughout the season to be kept from being worn out. Doing so in Cleveland will be pivitol as he continues to age through the years. With that being said, LeBron fans should not be too concerned. When he does play, he still averages 37.6 minutes per game.
Their recent victory over the Bulls at home sends a message to the rest of the Conference: don't forget about us.
