Was Lebron sitting out last night a win-win situation?

A twisted ankle he suffered in Portland needed rest. It happened in the first half but he played on it and then he practiced yesterday before the Seattle game.

So Lebron sits so he can rest it even though he was capable of playing. So if Cleveland wins they continue to climb back to the top while he gets the rest,continuing the hot streak(5 straight away wins, 8 wins in their last 10 games). If they lose it's another notch towards him claiming MVP if his team cant beat the worst team in the league without him.

The only negatives is that Pavs and Varajao were also out ,plus Seattle beat the Spurs the game before( knocking out both eastern and western conference champs in straight games building Durants confidence) but beating the champs the game before before kind of over shadows the win over the Cavs, now claimed the hottest team in the east. Cavs still without a win without Lebron.

As a side note, Marshall taking his jersey off with his shoot around shirt was hilarious if anybody saw it.

no, it's not a win-win situation. We're trying to catch Detroit, our chances diminished with our loss and their close win.

We're not even at all star break and Cavs are the beast in the east since Boston has come back to reality. We have a couple tough games before the break so Lebron may want to be on top of his game with no AV and Pavs. But I think we can still catch anybody by the end of the year.

Maybe it was a win-win even in a lose, Showcase Hughes as much as possible. Thoughts?

Wow never thought about that. I like that angle.
