That is what is keeping the Cavs from unforeseen elimination before the NBA finals. Lebron beat the Magic basically by himself last night. The entire 4th quarter he held the ball at the top of the key and drove to the hoop, sometimes passing to a wide open player (because Lebron is the only player that Orlando really needs to guard) and usually getting fouled in the process. He took 19 free throws (making 15) and had his first triple double of the post season.
He can't do this for two more games, can he? He has to be tired, doesn't he? Someone else has to step up, don't they?
This is one of those yes/no questions. He has to be getting worn down and someone else has to step up, but who is to say that he can't take the Cavs on his back for two more games? There are a lot of things that Lebron can do that we haven't even seen before. I think we forget that this guy is only 24 years old. That's it. We are spoiled because we have seen Lebron dominate for six years now and we perhaps have crowned him too early. Perhaps.
All I know is that this series WILL go seven games. If not, I don't know. I'm sure I will watch the finals but it won't be the same. Whether it be Kobe v Lebron or Melo v Lebron, Lebron must be involved in the finals in some way. Maybe as a commentator?
