Just a thought but i wondered if Lebron would be capable and willing to pull a Magic Johnson and play centre against GSW, to negate small ball line up.

James, J.R Smith, Shumpert, Delly, Irving.

James has all the tools to successfully do this but does he have the belief in Irving to handle most of the offence and the patience to put a lot of his efforts into just defence.

Of course he's capable.  He'd be the best center in the league.  And Magic didn't play center for that entire game either.

He choked that X-mas game at the line.

He has a history of choking in big games.   Now he has had games where he dominated.   His talent if off the charts but mentally some games he is as tough as wet kleenex.

You know this got into his head a bit.   I thought he handled it maturely.

I would say that he has all the tools except the mindset to play C.

You know how teachers tell kids they could be or do anything they set their mind to? LBJ's teachers weren't lying.

It would be a very wise idea for Cleveland to do at times to force GS to take Bogut out of the game.  Bogut's rim protection is a huge cog in GSW's defense which allows the dub's perimeter players to play very aggressively out on the perimeter.  Taking Bogut out of the game would play into an advantage for Cleveland.  They could also do that by playing Love at the 5 and limiting the burn that TT and Mozgov get.
