Unlike his predecessor, Lue has been resting James this season and it will pay off once the Cavaliers enter the postseason. James usually plays a lot of minutes in the playoffs and this was a good move to have him at 100 percent.

Irving may not be playing as well as he was playing last season, but he is healthy. The Cavaliers have all of their rotation players nearly 100 percent healthy, and that is especially important considering the fact that they lost last season because of health.
