I can safely say that it is in our favor.

Game 1: May 17
Game 2: May 19
Game 3: May 21
Game 4: May 23
Game 5: May 25
Game 6: May 27
Game 7: May 29


Only one day of rest from each game. Lebron plays more than 40 minutes a game. I think if we make it hard for him on both ends of the floor, him gassing out in the series is a real possibility. This team just need their defense to be honest and shut down his team mates.

I dot think I would say it's in our favor - the Cavs are already pretty well rested, while we've rarely had more than a single day off between games

No matter what the schedule, though, this will be an uphill battle. I hope our guys are ready

Cavs have no depth and there is not much rest in-between games. That said, all those advantage mentioned will be all in vein if they don't put up a tough fight against Lebron. The longer the series, the more Lebron will wear down. I don't think a week of rest could help Lebron about the upcoming schedule.

I am sure he is loaded up with the latest PEDs to combat this very thing.

LeBron hasn't played since May 7th. We're coming off of a pretty gruelling 7 game series on a one day rest.

These are not the droids you're looking for.

I think we can jump out to a decent lead in the first half and maybe hold on and steal game one.  Then we can use the Popovich vs Golden State strategy of "pray."

Depth remains the C's advantage, as demonstrated in G7 vs. the Wiz.

Grammar cop says it is "in vane" but I like the implication of "in vein" as in, in the blood.

If we can somehow tie the series 2-2 a big maybe it will come into play games 5 through 7.  I doubt it though.

Long rest could make the Cavs a lil bit rusty. C's maybe banged up but they are much deeper and younger than Lebron. Brad can make adjustments with his rotations and give the starters enough rest.
