CLEVELAND—There's an adage thrown around the Cleveland Cavaliers, one that can predict their wins and losses without having even watched a minute of the game.
Did LeBron play well?
It's a joke by nature, but one that carries a tremendous amount of truth.
In Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Toronto Raptors, yes, LeBron Raymone James did play well.
Cleveland blew out Toronto 116-105 in a game where the Cavs lead swelled to as many as 25. James finished with 35 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and shot 56.
