    Last night Bron looked like this is still his league and if he's healthy, you're not taking that crown from him.

    I expect he might continue to score more early in the season until Russ finds the right balance for himself. Then when Russ gets into 2nd-half-of-the-season-mode Bron can take the foot of the gas and pace himself for the postseason.

    Bron's defense, especially the weak side help looked really crisp.

    Amazing he can still do this 19 years and 1 zillion miles in

    AD looked ready too (except for the FT’s)!

    But yeah Lebron was amazing last night!

    He's shooting like Reggie Miller out there. That's great.

    the bad: I know he was down after the lack of whistles BUT that play where 20 seconds went by and he didn't get back and cross half court l, instead talked trash to the Suns bench... that CANNOT happen. The team takes the lead from you and AD, can't quit like that.

    Not his best quality: good for Vogel to keep him in the 4th to send a message. Lakers actually looked their best

    Never seen anyone this good in season 19, it’s wild. That said, it’s too bad he’s picked some of the teammates he has, the league has passed some of these guys by.

    Yeah I guess he did his way as he said but being this good this long and retiring with "only" 4 titles would be a dissapointment imo

    He should sit just as a precautionary move. Would not be the worst thing to use Westbrook as primary ball handler for a game. Lebron sitting at times is a big reason we brought Russ here.

    I know he'll probably try and play through it but he should take a few games off, thats why Russ was brought in.

    What is it with the Lakers and f***ers falling on their legs? This is a damn epidemic only the Lakers seem to have every other year.

    On the bright side, if Lebron sits out a couple of games, Russ and AD can work on some chemistry playing together. Perhaps Vogel will unveil his pick and roll action with those two that he's been keeping in his pocket for some reason. Then again knowing Lebron, the very thought that the media is going to pounce on the " See look! Lebron is getting old! He's human after all!" jazz...he probably won't miss a game and play 40 minutes or something. SMH. I don't think Lebron James has anything left to prove to the media. Be smart man, we are in this thing for the chip!! Resting can be the best thing for the team.

    Lakers better sit LeBron tonight - no reason to push him in game 4 of an 82 game season especially when we should be planning to rest him in games this year anyway.

    Like others said - this is why we broke the bank for Westbrook - nights like this
