LeBron James is not someone you can call a ball hog. In fact, he is known not just for his scoring abilities, but also for how he involves his teammates with his passing.
But The King seems to not be at his best when facing the Golden State Warriors in the regular season. In the last six regular season matchups against Golden State, LeBron James is averaging just four assists.
To put that into context, James is averaging 8.8 assists this season and 8.7 assists last season.
There are a lot of possible explanations for this. It could be the Warriors' defense, which has always been known to be just as good as their offense. It could be because of the great defensive capabilities of certain Warriors players, like Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Kevin Durant. It could even be something psychological for LeBron.
But whatever the reason is, the numbers still stand. James has a hard time giving assists against his nemesis from the Bay Area.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been known for their cruising during the regular season. But cruising is something you don't want to attach to a contender.
If we are to believe that the Cavaliers have not been overtaken by the Celtics and the Raptors in the East, they should be more consistent and put more fight even into their regular season games, especially with their potential Finals enemy — the Golden State Warriors.
