    Let’s see if we can win some of these “easy” games and maintain our playoff seed until we have everyone back.

    It seems like we will be playing .500 ball this month, since Bron needs more time to recover.

    Dallas lost which is good, but Doncic missed almost all of his shots, so he'll go bananas on Lakers.:LLLLLebronlaughing:

    The only team behind us we have to worry about is Utah with a friendly schedule in January ... if the Jazz make a run , we better quickly start winning games again

    That was embarassing, but we do have a chance to make up for it by losing by less than 20 to Dallas. Right? Still 8th. Maybe Bron is going to make everything better.

    I think we have to take the view that LeBron just needs to make the playoffs and we'll go from there. A good seeding would be nice, so we don't have to lose to GS early on, but beyond that, it doesn't really matter where we are on the ladder, so ling as we're there.

    still would like to avoid Den if they stay at 1, their hc advantage is legit with the elevation stuff.

    That's a great point. But the way I see it, you give me LeBron in a seven-gamer against DEN, I'm picking LeBron. I even feel the same way about HOU, since they're coached by Pringles. If life has taught me anything, it's always bet ON black and AGAINST Pringles. But you give me LeBron in a seven-gamer against GS (as presently constructed), I think GS wins. Only team I feel that way about right now.

    Houston is a tough matchup for us . We have no perimeter player who is disciplined enough to not send Harden to the line and no big able to defend the PNR at a high level.

    I think Lebron beat any team not named GS , Houston and OKC in the playoffs with little doubt .

    rough stretch incoming:

    at utah, then two should-be wins (dangerous for this team) at home vs. cle and chi (who's been better since markannen came back, i think), then at houston, at okc, and home vs. gs.

    that's an expected 2-4 even with lebron. hopefully, the teams behind us don't make up too much ground in the next week or so. a win at utah would be very nice.

    You're ignoring the "Pringles Slope."
