I’m worried that he won’t get back to where he was physically before the break. He’d kind of finally started looking like his best (current) self. Not sure there’s enough time to work up to that.


I hope he does and doesn't exert himself too much in such a way where it leads to an injury...

Oh ****. I hope not. Vogel is a lot like Spo. Very stubborn with his rotation even when some of the fits don’t make any sense.
Thanks for all the great memories, LeBron! The show must go on! #Heatnation

Lakers just gotta start making some shots regularly at some point. Their shooters aren't this bad.

Dion bails out a bad possession with the drive. Great to see.

Might be in their best interest to drop this game and win tomorrow.

Danny Green making an outside shot calls for champagne.

At the least, their defense is keeping them in games. The offense should come at some point.

This is the most boring game I have seen in a while.

I dont think top teams really worry about things like brackets. Doubt they care if Houston is in their bracket

Gotta be the lowest scoring half of the bubble at 97.
But in his home dwelling...the hi-top faded warrior is revered. *Smack!* The sound of his palm blocking the basketball... the sound of thousands rising, roaring... the sound of "get that sugar honey iced tea outta here!"

Don't often see garbage time with 3 minutes left in the 3rd.

What was shaping up to be an impressive 17th season statistically is going to be assassinated by a catastrophic 8 game bubble disaster.

On the line:

- LeBron’s only double digit assist season.

- LeBron’s streak of 25 ppg seasons.

These may seem meaningless, but these are statistical milestones that round out a player’s legend once all is said and done.

Lakers have to have the lowest rated offense in the bubble so far.

Kuzma is one of the most frustrating players in the NBA. Dude's basketball IQ is so low.

The Lakers aren't winning a title if this Lebron shows up in the playoffs.

He will need to be way more aggressive in his scoring.

All other teams seem to make shots, except the Lakers. They have to be the worst outside shooting team in the bubble.

It’s hard to pinpoint what the issue is exactly. They are missing a lot of wide open shots (shots that were going in during the real season).
