The Cleveland Cavaliers drew criticism throughout the regular season for giving LeBron James games off for rest purposes.

In the playoffs, however, the script has been flipped 180 degrees, as critics are now wondering whether or not King James has been on the court too much.

In other words, the best player in the world will draw criticism for doing pretty much anything. It comes with the territory.

In the four-game sweep of the Indiana Pacers, James played 43.8 minutes per game and put up 32.8 points, 9.8 rebounds, 9.0 assists, 3.0 steals and 2.0 blocks per game.

Russell Westbrook isn’t the only guy who can put up insane numbers.

Responding to a reporter’s question regarding James’ heavy minutes in the first round (which led all NBA players), Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue explained that he’s not the least bit concerned.

"Of course, we're always cognizant of LeBron's minutes, but in looking at this situation, we didn't look at the minutes as an issue," Lue said. "It makes more sense to close out the series and have the additional rest versus playing potentially even more minutes, potentially 96-144 more minutes. Closing out and the rest that comes with it far outweighs the other potential scenario.”

During the regular season, James averaged 37.8 minutes per contest, which also led the NBA.

"I mean, I don't understand why people make a big deal out of minutes," Lue told reporters on Wednesday. ”He had a week off before the series started. We won four straight games, and then he had a week off again. So next [series] he might play 48 minutes.”

Let’s not forget that the 32-year-old is still in peak physical condition.

In the end, it’s all about earning the win. Lue, who will be leading his team against the Toronto Raptors in the next round, knows that a “w” is the only thing that matters in the end, not who plays the most minutes:

“A lot of guys are taking care of their body. NBA players are some of the best-conditioned guys in athletics in their sport, so they can definitely do it. I think a lot of times coaches get sidetracked by what other guys, what the media said or whatever,” he said.

In summary, “You just got to go off what you feel, how the guys feel, how the players feel and what your team needs at this time. So, if Bron plays 46 minutes and [Kyrie Irving] plays 45 minutes and we win, then it's worth it. And if we need them to play that many minutes to win in the playoffs, then it's absolutely worth it."

James thinks so too. After the victory in Game 4, he noted that he has full trust in the coaching staff and can play the whole game if he’s asked to.

"The game plan is from the coaching staff," James said. "Coaches always ask me how I'm feeling throughout the game, and I feel great. If I'm out on the floor and I'm hurting us by playing a lot of minutes, then I need to come out. But in this series, I played a lot of minutes, and I felt great. I actually could have played the whole game if need be.”

DeMar DeRozan, Kyle Lowry and the Raptors will likely see a heavy dose of LeBron, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love in a repeat of last year’s Eastern Conference Finals.
