LABron James Discussion: Olympics MVP

Never going to doubt the man, but if this is true. It's over.

 

Would be nice if the rest of our team could rally around this and win some games with AD as the focal point. This feels less hopeless to me than it would be if it was AD going down indefinitely again. Feed the beast and see how far that can take us . . .

 

Welp, that’s why I couldn’t get myself too happy about yesterday’s comeback. Hearing him talk about “I heard it pop” sounded very bad.

It’s unfortunate, but I’d like to think our new roster can tread water and remain in striking distance of the play-in without Lebron.

Regardless, I think it was always unlikely we’d make a big splash this season given how it generally takes time for a new roster to mesh, so our focus should be on evaluating our new assets, minimizing the impact of a potential pick swap with NO, and trying to sneak into the playoffs in whatever capacity possible even if just to give the guys some experience together. But if there’s any risk of Lebron aggravating the injury and it becoming a long-term thing that could bleed into next year, just shut him down. No need to rush him back.

Hopefully next year now that we have a competent roster we can actually load manage Lebron properly rather than running him into the ground.

 

FFS... OK AD, time to put your big boy pants on.

 

Well that sounds like possible surgery: rest of the season is to see what they have in D. Lo and get this team ready for next year.

 

It all depends on what multiple weeks means. Is that 2 weeks or is that 6 weeks?

If everyone else is healthy, two weeks is OK. 4 weeks is kinda tough. 6 weeks and season is over.

 

Crazy that he actually finished the game. He actually played BETTER after the injury.

Props for that

 

Well there goes the season

 

This is definitely bad news.

We will see how the team responds. I feel like we can get to the play in game but who knows at this point.

 

One game at a time, AD has an opportunity, to reclaim his top 5 spot in the League. We won't do any damage in the playoffs without Lebron, we might be able to get there though.

 

When we made the deadline trades I got some flak for saying they were more about next season as this season was probably too far gone. 74/76 NBA champions were Top 4 seeds, teams just don't come from the bottom of the standings to win it all. In 2020-2021 the Warriors ultimately missed the playoffs, but the reps that guys like Poole and Wiggins got with Curry and Draymond were invaluable in their starting off the 2021-2022 season hot. Unfortunately, I think the rest of this season is more about building continuity and discovering the right combinations for next season.

 

I fixed it!

 

Yeah this is definitely bad news. Do we rest him until we NEED him? Can AD and crew hold down the fort like Lebron did when AD was out?

 

We'll see..if AD sprains or tweaks something though, he'll be up for trade discussion this summer. I'm expecting him to ball out, but it's no surefire guarantee, that he won't join Lebron in street clothes soon either.

 

Shouldn’t have done those commercials spoofing Father Time …. pissed him off.
