Didn't see the game, but could someone explain this comment? I mean it looked like he played like ****, what were the specifics late game? Did he come back too soon from the injury? He's been pretty bad since his return. He's not a young man anymore, maybe they should have erred on the side of caution, even more than they already did.

I mean, I get the usual haters overreacting, but don’t understand those who are more grounded overreacting to this. He’s not perfect, no one is. People make mistakes, it happens.
In this case of LeBron, I’m sure he’s acknowledged, learned from, and moved on.
In the case of fans, acknowledge, accord grace, move on. Not like the guy’s got a history of this.

It's basically just the exact opposite reaction of the Indiana game, not sure how else you are expecting people to react. It's not like anyone is saying to trade him or anything.

2) Why so little Hayes? I get trying to make them go small too, but they are just attacking quite easily
We really needa win this one and close them out

LeBron didn't seem as hopeless tonight as the 2 games prior, but he still has a loooooong way to go. This team has a legit argument for 2nd best in the West with a pre-groin LeBron, but with current LeBron they are a clear 1st round exit. Not worth taking seriously at all.

Don't think there's any outright FA signing good enough to fill the C hole. Leaving it to so long has created this ugly situation where you have to re-sign Hayes to a bigger deal while also trying to upgrade the same position.

I don't see any C on the market who's worth given up a 1st rounder. Maybe Claxton, but it would be quite an overpay imo. Hayes/Capela rotation would be decent if they can find better perimeter defenders
