The Cleveland Cavaliers locked up the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference with their win on Wednesday over the Milwaukee Bucks.
James hinted he might sit the next two games, which both happen to be against the Boston Celtics.
The previous four times James' team has reached the NBA Finals has been as the No. 2 seed.
"It just happened that way," James said, shrugging over the No. 2 seed success. "It's great to be on your home floor as many games as possible. But I thrive on the road, I love playing on the road in the playoffs more than home. There's something about that adversity."
