After. He looked like he was falling out of the race for a sec but this game put him back in it

Should have honestly hogged the ball and took 38 shots like Jordan did in Washington. Bron would have 63+ easy in this game.


lebron not being obsessed with scoring averages/titles is gonna hurt him long term when people underate his scoring years from now

It already does. LeBron averages 0.04 fewer ppg than “all-time great scorer” Kevin Durant for his career. You often don’t see him discussed when folks discuss the best scorers of all-time because his game isn’t aesthetically pleasing or whatever.

scoring exclusively, durant may actually be (or not) a better scorer than lebron, he probably is regular season wise, not sure about playoffs where i lean lebron off memory

more than durant i mean when people in the future think westbrook or Carmelo were better scorers because they have more scoring titles or higher scoring peaks in ppg lol

Watched the last 7 min or so...unbelievable

Hope Lebron guns for the scoring leader for this season

Would be the oldest to ever do it. MJ did it at 35....Lebron could do it at 37

I wish we could somehow play GS in rd 1, they are a matchup I am not worried about funny enough

AD and Lebron would dominate

I may want to see Nunn start

Nunn, Monk, Johnson/Reaves, Bron, AD
Russ, Reaves, THT, Melo, Dwight

Really a shame we didnt make a small move or two for guys who would also be here next year

Finally they have learned to use Reaves on POA, Monk on PG/SG and Westbrook on SG/SF.

LOL imagine losing an NBA game for a Covington fight.
This place is a cesspool of mindless ineptitude, mental decrepitude, and intellectual lassitude. I refuse to be sucked any deeper into this whirlpool of groupthink sewage. My opinions have been expressed. I'm going to go take a shower.

Woj latest article shows how hard it is to make Westbrook play any way other then the way he sees fit. It’s depressing how out of touch he is about himself.

Same here man. I was disgusted when they didn't call the Dos Anjos fight after he absolutely brutalized Moicano's face.

It feels like Lebron yesterday Lebron had that famous SI when he was still in HS. But when you see photos of his first sting in Cleveland you can it was almost 20 years ago.
Abolish the draft. Abolish the rookie scale. Make teams try to win.

I think its less about being out of touch and more about not caring.

Russell Westbrook has accomplished everything someone joining the NBA could possibly dream of except for a title and frankly he doesn't value winning a title all that much.

Disappointed in him as a basketball player and asset? Certainly.

As a person? I would never be disappointed in an athlete who doesn't want to win as much as others. There are far more important things in life.
