3. An Aggressive LeBron
“Defense wins championships” is a mantra that’s brought out every postseason, and with respect to LeBron James, his steal total at the end of games has been an easy way to measure the team’s success. When he swipes two passes or more, the Cavaliers have managed to win 31-of-34 games.
That number also includes the Detroit victory when, like clockwork, James collected a pair of steals. As the best all-around player in the league, his play on both sides of the court is imperative to the Cavs winning, which is why this small number might be worth looking out for this postseason.
