(LOCK THREAD) The LeBron James- 23-24 NBA Thread - 40K POINTS+(Part 1)(NO INSULTING)

Who do we want to see lose tonight in the Suns-Pelicans game?

Feels like Kawhi will be out for a majority of the reg season, so the Suns have a pretty easy schedule

If BI is out until the last game or 2 (or even longer) and Zion may miss this game, feels like we should be rooting for the Suns and jst try to get into #7 vs one of NOLA or SAC

Suns are finding their groove right now. Since a trash game vs. OKC, they haven’t even really trailed which is highly unusual in today’s NBA when any team can string together a few threes. I know the Nuggs have handled them but they gave the Nuggets absolute fits the last two times they played even with Jokic going hard.

Bron out tonight with flu like symptoms......oh no

[IG2]

Bron out tonight with flu like symptoms......oh no

Da ****....

Is he really choosing sit out on a B2B with every game so important??

[RRR3]

Sitting out this game is actively insane. What the ****

[RRR3]

I hope this means he’s done with the Lakers at least because this is legit gonna cost them the playoffs. INSANE decision if he’s staying in LA. This is a playoff level importance game

[tsherkin]

Sitting out this game is actively insane. What the ****

If he can't do it, he can't do it. There is a point where the dehydration the flu causes is bad enough that you're not going to do anything but potentially infect everyone else around you. Like, Jordan's mega hangover flu game was a little different.

[RRR3]

He doesn’t have the flu this is clearly load management. Unless he misses the next game too its clearly bs


The absolute arrogance to think he can afford to sit out lol.

It could be a combo of both

Maybe he has a cold (I do right now and it sucks, cant play sports like this) and its hard on a b2b

I think we can still win tonight though with pretty good odds tbh

No KAT ofc is a big reason why

Need a big game from Reaves

Pels winning was bad imo, much preferred if the Suns won and we tried to get 7th seed

Now we probably need to win out, at worst lose 1 game

Better hope Kawhi comes back to play the Suns and hope GS plays their guys vs NOLA

He played yesterday and put up like 25/12. He’s fine. There was nothing about him being sick until now. I’d be furious if I was AD

Maybe he felt sick and played a bit through it

Or you know what, maybe its hard for a guy in his 21st year to play b2bs

We wouldnt even be in this **** position if we had a coach who wasnt a moron when it came to lineups

If we had just started Vando or Rui to start the year, we are probably the 4th or 5th seed right now

I still have faith in us tonight

Wolves haven't impressed me consistently without KAT

If we play solid defense, I don't fear them too much

Not having Vando hurts though since we are thin in the frontcourt without Wood or Bron tonight

He looked off yesterday too tbh (I thought it was due to the fall he had late 1st half), but this is clearly load mgmt. With Houston eliminated LA's guaranteed a Top 10 spot now, so I guess they figured why not sit him on a B2B while he may not be 100%. Still sucks though.

[mademan]

wild that Lebron is out today, but LAL has had some big wins without him. If they lose tonight, the 6 dream is dead. But if they win, they might honestly be favoured for it

That’s why he needed to play lol. This is a playoff type game you don’t sit those out unless you literally can’t play.

[nzahir]

Is Ham braindead?

What is this lineup??

Reaves, Prince, Reddish, AD, Hayes.....

Get 1 of Dinwiddie or Dlo there or at least Vincent

STOP **** PLAYING REDDISH!!!!

Reddish should never play 1 more meaningful minute for us. Idk how he plays over Christie tbh

Cant wait till Vando is back so Reddish cant play

[RRR3]

Yes Ham is braindead you’re just realizing this?

[nzahir]

Unbelievable how AD gets hit in the face and theres no call and now hes out for the last 7 min

Ham playing Reddish is just sad

I didnt realize Vincent was sitting today, makes sense. But at least play Christie

[RRR3]

All could have been avoided if LeBron just played.

[nzahir]

All could have been avoided if LeBron just played.

Not if AD is out

This team has been big man depth, especially with Wood out

Crazy how that eye hit has taken him out this whole Q

[RRR3]

AD probably isn’t out if LeBron plays

[Todeasy]

AD probably isn’t out if LeBron plays

This is....quite the leap of logic.
