I know some here will be looking for the numbers when LeBron James doesn't play for Cleveland. He hasn't missed a game all season but will sit out tonight:
CLEVELAND OFFENSE TOP NUMBER WITH HIM BOTTOM WITHOUT:
08-09:
UNKNOWN missed 0 games
07-08:
96.4
83.4
------
-13ppg without him missed 7 games
06-07
96.8
112.25
----------
+15.45 without him missed 4 games
05-06:
97.6
94.7
-------
-2.9 without him missed 3 games
04-05:
96.5
98.7
---------
+2.2 without him missed 6 games
As you can see there is not nearly the same impact on the Cavs offense with or without LeBron in terms of points scored
20 games 10 under 10 over
