I expect the Cavs to beat the C's in 6 games, but wouldn't be all that surprised if this scrappy bunch pulled it out. Boston, unlike Toronto, at least has some players that can slow James down and make him work defensively.
Underrated point. Against both Toronto and Indiana, LeBron has really just stood there on defence. It cost them when Bogdanovic caught fire, but other than that they've been able to have him just play the pathetic defence he's grown to play

Yeah, it allows James to pick his spots.  When the Cavs needed stops, James took Oladipo and DeRozan for stretches.  He can't do that all game or he won't be nearly as effective offensively, but those 2 teams lacking any sort of real offensive wing threats (and frankly you almost need 2) has allowed James to rest defensively and just take over offensively.
