    Easily. Also considering that AD didn't give a damn about game 1 either. Both looked disinterested early. That's alright though, health and managing minutes is the most important thing for us. We should not even chase home court this year, why would we?

    Regular season games is just a formality to gameplan for the playoffs while staying healthy until then. I'm more worried about Frank Vogel fixing the rotation than anything LeBron is doing.

    weird that he took the luka matchup more seriously than PG or kawhi. you could see that he wanted to take it to luka when they were matched up. he hit some tough shots over him, too.

    Luka is the “next” Lebron, pretty sure that’s why.

    Lebron has to pace himself. AD has no excuse. He practically shut down Kawhi and he is 27. He should have taken over that game and ended the Clippers. Thats the s*** I dont like. If AD wanted to take a day off for the Pacers, fine. But two teams the Lakers need to stomp are the Clippers and Nets. I dont care when the games are on.

    LeBron on offense got a little physical banging him pretty hard once or twice but not to the level Kobe did unsuspecting teammate of one year Pau in the Olympics. :eek: :rofl:

    Blinded by the bling.. You could see them joking with Tyron. All geeked about the ceremony. There heads weren't in ir til late 2nd qtr. Clippers are trying to reestablish their paper supremacy in LA. Meant more to them to get over.

    Because he actually respects Luka and sees a lot of himself in Luka. I don't think he respects the way the Tenant Duo approach the game or load management

    He needs to patent and market those laces. He'll have an ankle injury. Tighten those laces and it's like it never happened.

    No AD and only played 26 minutes. Huge when you play again tomorrow.

    Think we should rest one of them. If AD is good to go, give Bron the night off.

    Larry Hughes whose career basically got derailed with all the ankle injuries he got was once asked basically why he was made out of glass vs Lebron's iron man status. He basically said one of Lebron's legs was the size of both of his put together so that's why he never got hurt.

    Lebron's legs arent that big. Lebron spends 1 million dollars a year on his body. larry hughes spend 1 million dollars a year on braids in his hair.

    Bron’s upper legs are huge just doesn’t have Vogel’s calves. LOL.

    Was his left ankle the same one he rolled a couple days ago?

    Before he turned that ankle he looked a step out of it

    This is what needs to happen more often:

    This team will help him age gracefully. Take it easy, Bron.

    He does look a bit heavier than his peak in the championship series. All that wine maybe. ;)
