    Let’s see if he can make it two good offensive games in a row.

    clickbait title that takes this (very sensible) quote:

    the question is: who's fault is that? (jj's, ultimately)

    i think we definitely relaxed when lebron got back, just like we relaxed when we played atlanta minus their big money guys earlier in the year. we like to relax. we don't like to run back on defense and box out.

    i don't think jj is pinning that all on lebron. it takes a full team effort to just get out-efforted every single night.

    plus he's young.

    Lebron is the undisputed GOAT in the entire galaxy. Just different situations.

    rough game from him. outside of a couple tough three makes, he was kind of an anchor.

    Hot take: this is his last year, and he'll announce his retirement after the All-Star break.

    he hasn't looked good. maybe he's right and it will just take a long ramp up period, but does he want to do that again next year?

    somebody else brought this up on LG, and I've been thinking about it; when he says stuff, "like I'd rather be home for christmas than playing," I'm sure there's other examples, it just screams he's probably tired of the process.

    I think this might be his last year. IMO.

    at his age, it's A LOT to just get out there. and i think he may be (maybe) realizing that part of the reason we're not a contender is him not being him anymore.

    Could be. He can’t get another contract this size again. He will have to come at a hefty discount to get signed next year. He could definitely not think it’s worth it and move on. Not sure what else he’d even be playing for.

    He’s done.
    He knows it and there’s no fooling anyone.
    Maybe he’ll take a massive discount and finish it off in Cleveland?
