    I'm not telling you anything. You know it all and can read minds and tell how players are feeling physically and how much pain and concern they're willing to deal with. Maybe he risked catastrophic injury (in his own mind) for the good of the team last night, before he really wanted to.

    lol spoken like the true enabler, hes one of 2 stars, more should be expected....you guys talking bout being worn down, injured, etc....Lebron is 36, went thru same stuff and up till the ankle injury he looked like the near prime james as he always has since season started...talk bout coddling....i had no issues with AD missing shots but his overall effort prior to last night gm was not up to par for a star player injuries or not

    Armchair warriors for the win. Sheeooot! It's only an achilles. Do you realize in the way you debate and have to win, what a horrible take that is, but it's OK because YOU don't care, he's a superstar?

    "injuries or not"

    “Bs” as in he’s a puss .... jaking it now? Or just further frustration for the season with odd use of “Bs”?

    I assume he's going to miss at least one game in each of these back to back sets. Wasn't expecting both. Thought we'd see him against Portland. I think we can get that one without him, but at some point we need to get this chemistry ball rolling.

    DS being out really hurts. THT and Eagle turn the ball over too much.

    it's easy to forget just how much mileage lebron has in his legs

    18 seasons, 10 finals appearances, 3 olympics, and a historically short offseason this year. on top of all that, he's 36 years old. time catches up to every athlete and it may be finally catching up to bron. his comment about how he'll never be at 100% kind of hints at that

    He needs to get right. Before the playoffs if possible. But if not we’ll have to make do.

    Lakers are gonna need to hope they face Denver in the first round. They can work back into shape and chemistry against Denver. But if they face the Clippers, they might end up getting bounced.

    imo, the team relaxed when AD came back, and then did it again (AD included) when lebron came back. understandable. they won 75% of their games basically going through the motions for the first third of the season. i think the back to back losses stuck in folks' craw a bit, and (as i predicted, look it up) they were ready to play in denver.

    i don't think effort will be the issue going forward, but unfortunately, we're half a tank low during a really tough part of the schedule, so i'll just prepare myself for more whining.

    Play-in very likely at this point and with Lebron not being himself , the hope of the back to back is over
