Let me put it this way, winning regular season games is not so important to Cavs like it is for other teams, Cavs already know that they have a good team, I agree that regular season helps teams gel and experiment different things but for LeBron, he's been in six straight finals, made playoffs every season except his first season in the NBA, he's put so much mileage on his body and going HAM during regular season is not in his priority, In the East they know they can manage to lose a few games or just take some days off (that's why at some point they rest their best players) and still have HCA throughout East Conference playoffs.
In the west losing a couple of games is costly because you may end up playing the Grizzlies in first round, you don't wanna do that, plus for some reason Warriors put so much effort into having best RS record. The Shaq/Kobe lakers used to ease off the regular season as well, ditto Spurs, this is because they know you need a healthy roster during playoffs.

Finally Monday is here! Bila shaka, according, to zech, LeBron and company don't have to put too much of a show! They don't take regular games that seriously even though coach Lue and even our own Lizarazu look at this differently. In the meantime the Dubs take every game they play seriously because it gives them an opportunity to correct their mistakes.
This will be game 41 for GSW, the halfway mark through the regular season. According to coach Kerr, after this they will sit and reflect on their performance so far and see what they need to do to improve their game plan. Meanwhile CAVS, according to zech, have nothing to worry about, they are taking it easy and just waiting for the playoffs...what a contrast!

So theory yako ni kwamba Cavs wali fluke? Unaweza kutuambia sababu zinazofanya udhani wali fluke? Mfano mimi naweza kusema GSW mwaka juzi walifluke kwa sababu walikua na bahati. Reasons: All their oppositions wakati wa western conference walikua na injured point guards ( so Curry never faced the best PG from the opposing teams throughout their Western Conference playoff run. Then finals, Game1 which i think they won in OT Kyrie got injured for the rest of the finals, never played in OT, that left only LeBron with role players because Kevin Love was also injured vs Boston, still Cavs took Warriors to game 6. Now last season, GSW faced healthy teams, struggled to close out even bad teams like Blazers, almost lost to OKC if Durant didn't choke like he always does. Went to finals, faced a healthy Cavs team, took 3-1 series lead, choked, lost 3 straight because LeBron had a better cast.
Back to you calling cavs fans bandwagon fans wa LeBron. Tuambie wewe kama haukua fan wa Lakers then ukamuona Curry ukarukia GSW. Mimi personally ni mshabiki wa LeBron since 2003 i watched his high school games on TV, wewe umeanza kuwa mshabiki wa GSW lini? usiseme unaishi Bay Area blah blah, I bet hata hauna miaka 3 kama mshabiki wa GSW.

Yes, Cavs are also one of the oldest teams in the NBA, they know legends are made in june, no need to expend their energy trying to win a regular season game. There was even a rumor that Ty Lue wanted to rest LeBron & Kyrie for this one, i read it somewhere.

As far as i know, If you suit up, you're not injured, injured players don't play, mfano: Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, they were injured in 2015 ndio maana hawakucheza. Wangecheza hakungekua na excuse kama mnayotoa nyie. Hakuna mchezaji anayecheza finals akiwa 100% injury free, ndio maana smart teams like Spurs and Cavs now wanajaribu kupumzisha wachezaji wao muhimu ili at least wawe kwenye hali nzuri wakati wa playoffs.

Are you sure?
Warriors: Founded in 1946 Championship 4 (1947, 1956, 1975, 2015)
Cavaliers: Founded in 1970! Championship 1 (2016)
FYI:
On June 6, 1946, the BAA or the Basketball Association of America was born and 11 franchises comprised the new professional basketball league: Boston, Providence, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Washington formed the East Division and Cleveland, Detroit, Toronto, Chicago and St. Louis the West Division. (It should be noted that two other pro basketball leagues also existed at that time, the American - a weekend league in small eastern cities, and the National - made up of small cities in New York state and the Midwest).
On August 3, 1949, six surviving teams from the National League joined the BAA. The resulting 17-team league is renamed the National Basketball Association (the NBA).
