    I have it on good authority that @sirronstuff is, in fact, one of those “folks”

    You misunderstood my phrasing. Might be a cultural difference. “Giving someone the bird” means something completely different.

    This should be LeBrons last season with the Lakers.

    Kinda?

    Of course, he managed to check back in juuuust long enough to keep the 10 point streak alive, then immediately asked out of the game.

    LeBron looked like me returning to the office on Monday, i.e. chatting it up with everyone while going through the motions trying to remember my passwords and other extremely basic aspects of my job.

    He was not engaged at all and looked like he just wanted to stretch his legs a bit out there.

    A lot of bad to go around last night and he was a big part of the bad.

    Rich Paul stated that LeBron James wants to compete for a championship

    Definitely one of his worst games in his career last night.

    I thought even a Bron who's still in training camp mode would've upped it against Brooks and had enough juice to invigorate the guys on night 2 of the back to back.

    Wrong.

    not putting the loss him, no one was ready for this one. Luka was for the first 12 minutes but after that... everyone was awful.

    Need to flush and forget this one. But also have to get it together against better opponents moving forward.

    Typically I agree and flush games like this. There were parts of this one good and bad that need watching. Flush 90% of it.

    I want to own a Custom Singer Porsche, have a beachfront home on Kauai, have all three kids move out tomorrow, and be able to fly.

    If he's going to be this checked out on office then just put him on Brooks earlier. JJ did this to the end of the 3rd but the game was already out of reach - harder to keep yourself disengaged if you're the prime defender against the other teams hot hand. Plus he was the right guy in terms of build to put on Brooks.

    Lebron has been notoriously slow starter for the last 5-10 years and without training camp it going to take awhile before to fully declare if this is the new norm or not. He looked really good two games ago and now the last two not so good to uggh
