LeBron James waiting anxiously for Cavs' next opponent

LeBron James is realizing that patience is hard. 

The Cleveland Cavaliers swept the Boston Celtics on Sunday and have earned the privilege of waiting for the second round. 

What others would view as a timely rest period, the Cavs superstar sees as boring.

"I have a lot of energy and I'm getting bored," James told the media after Wednesday's practice. 

"I'm ready to play."

James and his squad better be ready to play, with Kevin Love set to miss the second round, if not the entire playoffs, after dislocating his left shoulder during the first quarter of Game 4. J.R. Smith will also miss two games due to suspension for a backfist that sent Jae Crowder to the floor. 

Cleveland's next opponent has yet to be determined, with the Chicago Bulls currently leading their series with the Milwaukee Bucks 3-2.
