Love and Frye together gives LeBron all the room in the paint to operate.
This is exactly what I envisioned when they got Frye.

No offense to Tristan or Timofey, but the playbook just opens all the way up w/ Love & Frye out there.
The defense has to be out there like
knowin they cant help off ANYBODY

I think LeBron got banged up in game 3.
He wasn't finishing at the rim well at all today.
Hopefully he can get right during the break.
I thought going into the season this is what they'd look like on offense. Irving and Love would end up with more FGA per game and LeBron would facilitate the offense.
Shouts to Lue. He's been prepared so far.

Indeed, while the Cavs required just as many games to beat the Atlanta Hawksa year ago in the Eastern Conference Finals, James was required to expend an amount of energy that left him collapsing to the floor after a Game 3 home victory. And those numbers above include the first round, when Irving and Love were healthier.
This season, James' minutes are down from 42.2 to 38.8 per game. His usage rate is down 8.9% to 29.5 after the Cavs ended the Hawks' season. Even his assists per 36 are down from a year ago, so it's not simply an issue of him playing more of the point guard role. The Cavs were also pushed to six games by the Chicago Bulls in the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals a year ago, but have played the minimum number through two series in 2016.
Why has LeBron been able to take a step back? It starts with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love. Love is using a healthy 26% of the Cavs' possessions, and Irving is efficiently using 27.1%. Per nbawowy.com, the Cavs are still struggling whenever LeBron James sits. This is a problem moving forward, but you might see James ramp it up to 44 minutes a game in a potential Finals matchup. Even with the drop-off when James sits, it's important to note that the Cavs are putting up an insane offensive rating over the course of the playoffs, not just with certain lineups. They're doing a much better job of sustaining offensive success than they have all season.

Great points and Lebron might be able to give you 42 to 44 minutes in the finals because he is able expend less energy in these early rounds and because there are two days of rest between games in the finals.
Another thing of note. Lue is still hiding plays on offense and defense which I believe he is holding in his back pocket for the finals. Kylie and love showed this series that Lebron could actually sit some time without the whole team falling apart (case in point last game).
