    Lebron comes up big, MVP! I felt a genuine thrill when he came up against the Freaky Geek. Just like a heavy weight prize fight when the boxers open up. Excited for what is next. No pressure Lebron, but the Clippers are next. Also liked his team chemistry, congratulating Bradley and Danny Green for some of the things they did on D. He also boosts McGee and keeps him on track. Lebron you are a Laker and I like that, I like that a lot.

    I love how LeBron took this game personally and Giannis had no answer for it. Every time Giannis went to guard Bron, Bron took him to the basket and shoved him aside. On the defensive end, LeBron was like a wall and couldn't be moved. This guy has to be the MVP... No one does more for their team than Bron.

    He did great on iso D against Giannis.

    They found a wrinkle by running a small guard screen on him though. LeBron rotated to the screener to easily and the guard defender tended to be late allowing Gianni's to start steamrolling against a smaller guard. That will be an issue in any Finals rematch

    Lebron showed why we can relax. He is still far and away the best player.

    Lebron just kept coming and coming and Giannis looked gassed. Give me the Bucks in the Finals, he won’t last playing 35-40 mpg in 7 games.

    I feel he is the strongest guy around, I mean Giannis and Zion are strong but they just can't move when LBJ is at their back guarding them.

    When he turns it on, he's a beast. I mean, he moves the toughest defenders around, like they're rag dolls. If he stays 100% healthy comes PO time, watch out.

    Wow. What a game by Bron! So... the guy actually does have another gear ready for the playoffs?! That's unbelievable. When that happens, is he actually still the best player in the league - we know he is definitely the most versatile? He completely bullied Giannis last night, 1-on-1. When was the last time a 35-year old put these kinds of numbers throughout the season, including leading the league in assists and was this dominant?

    Sensational. You could see when he got pissed after the few whistles against the Lakers and decided to take over. He took it to the rack and dunked and just dominated from then on. When he plays lake that, we will be a very tough team to beat.

    Can't say enough about how great he player in that game, mad respect.

    That grimacing had all of us panicked. Hope it was further back on the left hip from where he was grabbed from behind and not related to the groin.

    I would not mind if he was benched on Sunday. The league will try to fine the Lakers but once they realize that no LeBron in the playoffs because he injured himself = bad for business.

    No people in arenas will be worse if it comes to that. Hopefully the weather will have warmed and shut the virus down for this year by then. Won’t be from any pharmaceuticals this early unfortunately.

    I don’t know what he said even. Don’t flus and viruses typically go out in warmer weather?

    Yeah that part isn’t just Trump talk. Maybe he mentioned that among his many rants, but the hope is that it’s like the flu and dies down as the weather warms up. Nobody knows for sure yet, but it’s not crazy speculation.
