LeBron is mortal. I've just seen the proof

Looked like the Monstars just sapped his power. First he has an open layup and puts it into the rim, then he has a fast break dunk and fumbles it. I feel like Leonidas just showed Xerxes can bleed.

That altitude change is no joke, even for the best conditioned players.

Anyone ever experience it? I have, just riding a bike around in the mountains. You get exhausted almost immediately. It's unbelievable until you experience it.

I had completely failed to factor that in, thanks for pointing it out. You’re right, it would make a huge difference.

I was counting down on that last possession for Denver and when Murray hit the shot I was literally screaming he did it! He did it! I'm so into this game.

Need the Magic in the playoffs, stat. I'm going to be so about this in-season tournament next year.

I didn't think this was possible but I actually feel a little bad for the Lakers right now

Ryan Clark just talked about that the other day. Molly Rose asked if the altitude made a really made a difference and he said, "You know i almost died there, right?"

Jamal Murray is back on top form tonight! He’s been on fire this quarter.

Feels good to know we’ve got our own version of him in Markelle Fultz. 8-)

If Fultz has that game in his bag he's a keeper.

I’m just teasing. I won’t bully you back in to the folds of the righteous.

I won’t have to, because WeHam will force it on everyone no matter what. Haha.

You legit could be right though. Imagine that beautiful middy form from three? Great length, athleticism, and defense to go with it? He's a former #1 for a reason. There is a chance he recovers 100%! (Just a really tiny one)

Even if he doesn't, he's not the end of the world as a starting PG.

Denver is making Bron look his age. That was the first game I really saw LeBron look really old. I seen it in glimpses last couple years but he looked old the whole game. He going need Kyrie or Dame next year.

Oh look , sharpshooting PG that destroys defense with his 3s and streaches whole opposing team to the point where Lebron is sent to wild goose chase on perimeter and Davis is backepdalling.

It's a beautiful thing...can we even call him a PG? Just a different model...It's more "PnR initiator/Scoring Machine"

at 38, you expect it. he still put up 22/9/10 with 4 steals and 2 blocks. you take that from practically any good starter on any team. the reason they lost last night was AD going 4-15.

I went to my search history past and found i was proposing:

Jamal Murray for
Gordon , 2018 pick ( turned into Bamba)

damn it :lol:

ot: most people liked it, so that probably means it was lobsided trade even back then :lol:

Pepe, do you think Simons could be our Murray? or Poole?
Certainly some $$ and efficiency concerns with Poole, but aren't they, possibly, in the same mold as Murray (obviously not there yet but...)?

Cason Wallace, Nick Smith??
