With Irving gone, the Cavaliers can kiss it goodbye now.
If LeBron had 44 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists, and the Cavs still lost, than unless the supporting cast shows up (Smith, Shumpert, Mozgov, Thomspon, Dellavendova, Jones, and Perkins), they stand absolutely 0 chance in beating a healthy Warriors team.
The best way to beat the Cavaliers is to force LeBron James to do everything himself, and take the other guys out of it.
That's what happened in Game 1, and it worked out good for Stephen Curry and co.
And asking LeBron to do carry the load each and every game, in a 7 game series... it's eventually going to whipe him out, and don't be surprised that by Game 4 or 5, he just looks completely exhausted.
