    I was commenting to myself on that during the play (Mentally) that I thought that might be a missed dunk in process, but he nailed it. Maybe it was a different play too, but the fact that he's dunking regularly at 35 says it all. With a full head of steam he still has some good hang time. Seems a little less explosive near the basket, but that happens at 35. Still good for a few highlight reels a night. All time great.

    it's amazing how he just posted a triple double, and does it so naturally in the flow of the game. It's definitely one of his gifts.

    One injury and our season is over... We desperately need another playmaker outside of LeBron who can hold or at least prevent our lead from dwindling to a deficit. I would hate for our season to end due to injury just like last season. Rob is surely doing his due diligence and hopefully we will have 2-3 new pieces that can help solidify our team. Not happy with our performances lately... Phoenix+Pelicans should have each been 20 point blowouts but it became single-digit games after huge leads.

    Agreed and both games Lebron and AD had to play 37-38 minutes in order to secure the wins. That is not acceptable. They should be getting rest in the fourth quarters, not playing more against worse opponents. Granted, Caruso being out has hurt us in that department.

    The Knicks today guarded LBJ as if he was Ben Simmons.

    Under the weather, no problem. 31 points! 30 point win. Keep it up Lebron because AD may be out for a bit.

    AD missing time better not lead to Bron playing 38-40mins a game :(
    I would seriously sacrifice 3-4 games and let the man have some rest.

    They should sit Bron out for the OKC game. KP might be out vs the Lakers and the Mavs have cooled off lately. Winnable game if our team comes out with the correct intensity. Back-to-back vs OKC who have been playing well. Don't see any reason to play LeBron here.. Heck, if I were the Lakers, I'd rest him vs the Cavs game as well. Perfect time to inflate Daniels, Kuz, and Cook while also giving some minutes to THT and Cacok if possible.

    So since the captains are chosen via votes and you can't have back-to-back captains in the respective conference, it seems like it will be Luka or AD as the captain of the West.

    Order will be restored when Caruso is above Westbrook on that list. Although he's doing OK so far at #6. Not counting Steph, because he can't play, obviously.

    Top 10 passes of the year. Maybe ever.
