News broke out of Cleveland today that Kevin Love will miss the next 6 weeks for a minor knee procedure. LeBron reassured those that have already began to count out the Cavaliers that he is prepared to carry the load while the All Star Power Forward is recovering.
LeBron's clear message to Cavs today in wake of Love surgery was: "Don't worry, I got this." Hard to doubt him.

It is indeed hard to doubt any team led by James. He is currently averaging 25.8 points, 8.8 assists, and 7.8 rebounds per game this season, while shooting an impressive 53 percent from the field.
The Cavaliers have battled injuries to the key pieces of their lineup all season, and this injury just adds on to the pile.
LeBron made it clear about his thoughts on the injuries the team has dealt with this season.
“Sucks,” James said of Love’s injury. “It’s just our road every season. One of our key guys get hurt and this year has probably been the worst out of all years — having our starting 2-guard out for so long and now having our All-Star power forward out for an extended period of time. It’s just next man up and we just hope for a healthy and speedy recovery for our All-Star.” via SB Nation
We will see if the Cavaliers front office makes any moves to bolster the front court with the NBA trade deadline looming.
