    My favorite play of the game. Perfect timing. Teams know it will happen and they can't stop it.

    He USED to flop and that’s not debatable. He’s no longer doing that since I told him to stop.

    I commend the change whatever the cause, but there is no excuse for flopping.

    Lots of positive comments coming Lebron's way. I'm actually curious how he plays on the 2nd of the back to back carrying the extra load. It would be completely reasonable if he took a step back tonight.

    Why don't you guys just enjoy the games and stop worrying about load management b*******? This is basketball not football and they arent fighting in the UFC.

    Every game it's the same thing. "Maybe he should sit" "Dont worry, play 2 mins today". What's with you people? Scared all day worrying about every little thing. These guys are paid millions to play. I want to watch them play. That's why I pay 8 bucks a month for Spectrum Sportnet. So play! Thank you.

    who's worried? I said I'm curious if he can bring the same energy two nights in a row at 35 in his 17th season .

    Yeah goddamit! :giggle: :clap: I’m with OX. He looks like he’s “cruising” out there most of the time and like he can’t wait to take off and run with the ball when he grabs a defensive rebound. I bet he is in such great shape this year after the break of no playoffs that he will still have his customary extra gear in them this year if healthy. Frank subs him in and out well.

    It’s why I’m letting DIRECTV rape me for $160 a month for their cheapest tier with my receivers that has SSN. Bleeps. And no Dodgers. Great signal. $8 a month???

    If he still has a next gear left, league better watch out. All he needs to do, is figure our load manager's defense on him. I bet Kobe could help with that :)

    I'll be concerned about whatever I want - I don't need any fans tell me what I need to be concerned about...

    On that note, he played 31 and 32 mins in the last two games. He's been managed exceptionally.

    Frank has done a great job in that respect.

    Look, you shouldn't let anyone rape you on anything. Unless its Charlize Theron or someone of that ilk, but I digress.

    I pay $61 a month for DirecTV. That includes the Lakers channel. I also have Cinemax with that and all the relavant channels. Oh, and I have sunday ticket too this next year for being a loyal customer.

    How do I pay so little you ask? It's called calling every few months and sweet talking the nice lady in the retention department and they hook me up.

    This is America lady and gentlemen. We may have freedom and privileges here like never in the history of mankind, but you still gotta put in the work to get EXACTLY what you want. So, in this case, I wanted all the same goodies in my TV package when it was expensive, to be cheaper, and guess what? They gave it to me. Why? Because you convince them you appreciate their service and you'll never leave as long as they are hooking you up every now and then. Loyalty is a two way street folks. Not one. Remember that.

    @OX1947 sweet talking? Shocked... :) I'm more into Rebecca Ferguson myself but I digress...

    On topic...James was stellar. The driving lanes opened up without Davis and even if with just McGee or Howard there. James muscled the slighter Maverick wings for scores down low and his perimeter game was very good as usual. Yes, he's getting the Shaq treatment with the hits and the zebras looking the other way.

    And James was flu-ridden?

    I'm OK with LeBron going for 35/16/7 if he's only going to play 32 minutes!

    That's the key - if you can load manage LeBron during games - that'll help down the line.

    Look at Milwaukee - they play Giannis like 30 mpg. We need to get LeBron to that point.

    Wow. Hell yeah apparently Jeanie and the council she follows are super happy with Rob. His current contract didn't expire until 2022 and she locked him up longer already plus the bump up in title. In this short piece though they say Magic was VP of basketball operations when he was Pres.
