    The hope is he can be at his level in a single PO serie.
    Nobody of us expect a big commitment for the RS games by him, but we need to count on him when the ball is heavier.

    LeBron will grind out 40 games while missing 42 games “ nursing his hamstrings” while enjoying rihannaS concert while dreaming about his expansion LV franchise flashing cash ! AD will be his glass AD self, we will get the 6th spot . Unless some major injury happens in Denver or phx or anyone else. LeBron will save his Superman self for the playoffs, but once again won’t be enough. Thanks for that bubble ring LeBron

    lol, the wmc thread is that way >>>

    and you're probably not wrong, but there are more positive ways to spin it.

    like: we have a puncher's chance at a ring if our guys are healthy for a 30 game stretch in the spring/summer, which is something that 70% of the league can't say.

    We have enough talent that we should be competitive and winning even if Lebron or AD are out, and possibly both.

    but if Reaves is out, we’ll have a ceiling of the play in game lol

    I mean, sure, all that is possible. Maybe it's even likely to happen. But at least this team is good and a legitimate contender. Championships are not guaranteed, ever. People get injured, unpredictable things happen all the time. You just don't know. But I am pretty sure I will enjoy watching this team, it's easy to root for these guys.

    It's a very likable team this season. As opposed to the abysmal team we started with last year. I'm really happy with the guys we have and I'm looking forward to watching them. As you said Karacha, it's easy to root for them.

    yeah, i really like this team. it's not perfect, but it's going to be a competitive squad that should be fun to watch on most nights. the year and a half of russ was just...so dark.
