    i watched a bit of bronny the other night. solid but doesn't jump off the page. i think if his dad wasn't lebron, he'd be going back to school for at least one if not three more years, tbh.

    Yeah. Bronny is hard for me to gauge given everything around him. He's bounced back and forth from being overrated to underrated if I'm being honest. I do think he could be a solid player though and stick in the league for a while.

    You also have to take into account that this is someone who had HEART SURGERY less than six months ago. Anyone else in his shoes would be staying in college for another year so that he could have a full, healthy, ideal season.

    Well, he is fit enough to play awhile longer. He’s setting a new standard for quality longevity in his quest to be considered the greatest ever.

    Although he’s my favorite player, I’m not sure any majority will consider him the greatest. Greatest at some things maybe, but never the greatest overall player.

    I think as we move to a world where more and more players haven't seen MJ, Kareem etc. He might get to the consensus. The main rookies in the past draft chose him over MJ.

    Of course, the same will happen to him in the future when a new generation arrives.

    Some of those young guys also said Paul George was the best ever

    but you may be right

    Is it time to talk about LeBron been a problem for the team.

    If you decide to not play any defense in this team the offense gotta be better. He's missing dummies, chucking and the turnovers

    Is it time to start the rebuild and shop him?

    fortunately or unfortunately, Lebron will not be traded unless he asks for it. He'll be here until he retires or requests a trade, or moves on in free agency.

    he's box office and setting all time marks. We have to find a way to work around his flaws and accentuate the positive.

    Some days are harder than others.

    his defense is grotesque and always pointing fingers when he gets beat (which is quite often)

    Because everyone on this team from players to coaching staff kiss his a** too much. Darvin Ham is like a fan boy so he never checks Lebron nor do any of the players. They worship him.

    When we were great during the 19-20 season, we had Rondo, Kidd, Dudley, and even Dwight who would challenge the stars when they F up. When Lebron had Ty Lue, he'd yell at him in Cleveland when he needed it. This team needed a coach that had some cache not someone who's scared of Lebron.

    Just for bleeps and giggles would love to see Handy coach rest of the season. He’s not afraid of anyone …. has coached some of the best of the best and probably doesn’t give a ****. He can get a job anywhere in a heartbeat for more money if he wants.

    I think being a skills and development coach is a different animal than leading men and coaching X’s and O’s Under the brightest lights on the planet. Pretty sure the man is happy with what he’s doing now, but it feels like he couldn’t do any worse.

    some guys should just be assistants. I’d put Ham in that category. Sometimes being thrust into a position, you are not qualified for exposes all of your warts. Think Luke Walton. Better assistant than head coach.

    Sure…. agree. But but for bleeps and giggles “in place of” Ham and for the reasons mentioned.

    Some fancy ones tonight







    Good showing. Settled for some 3s. But in a blowout, I get it. Don't need to drive and get cut up even more if you don't have to.

    Was ridiculous that dude having his nails so long LeBron’s arm looked like Wolverine slashed him

    For real. Maybe they should check their hands before the game (mma style). I remember Pau getting the same "treatment".

    jokic's arms are always covered in pretty deep scratches. someone needs to send a memo out to players reminding them to clip their nails

    the pass to wood was outstanding.

    note on the second dunk that he makes a nice solid screen that gives russell the angle for a great pocket pass, too. little things like setting screens matter!
