    I mean, at this point in his career, Bron needs to be load managing some. No shame in that. But he NEEDS to be healthy in the playoffs. Otherwise, we just won't have enough.

    A boo boo like the one that kept him out 26 games last season?

    They are being very cautious.

    All good.

    Take the game off tomorrow, too. Lol

    I might be crazy but... can Bron play more off ball and be a stretch 4 for a while? Because Russ, you know.

    He has been shooting great so far. Pretty sure we're gonna run quite a bit of Lebron & Westbrook PnR with Russ being the screener and roll man.

    Glad he sat tonight. Might as well sit tomorrow too. Russ has got this. Heal up Lebron!

    Yup, he'll sit today. I mean, we're only missing him, THT, Nunn, Ellington, and most likely AD (as a precaution, with a sore knee).

    Glad he's back. We clearly need him out there. But the 3s and turnovers were awful. Even Russ was like... that's a lot of turnovers.

    He brought down his 3 point season average in one game and had too many turnovers but glad to have him back.

    Takeaway from me was when the Lakers needed buckets you can still count in the most reliable play in basketball for the last 10 or so years. Give Lebron the ball and let him create

    that 4th quarter run was defense plus Lebron getting to the basket or creating 3 point shots against what had been a tough defense. Thought he was playing half a** regular season Lebron before that

    Taking the ball out of Lebron hands to put it in Westbrook ones is a terrible decision .

    I understand the "saving Bron legs" stuff but the difference of level between those 2 is so important that it's a huge negative for our team .

    If Lebron can't be Lebron anymore , we're f***ed

    I know that, but it's easier for Bron to adapt then it is for Westbrook, since Russ really isn't an off-ball player at all. And he can't shoot either. Bron is a better shooter, after all.

    How did Houston play in 19-20 when Russ had a couple of great months before the season stopped ?

    Were Haren and Westbrook taking turns ? It's a legitimate question because I didn't watch the Rockets .

    Could be useful for our team

    It’s scary enough seeing LeBron running full speed ahead at you….Imagine a 6’ 8” Freddy Krueger with knives on his hands. Yikes.
