LeBron James may have dislocated left ring finger.

LeBron suffered injury in first quarter last night in Indy. He stayed in game after getting it taped.

I say play him over 40 minutes against Dallas. Even if we're down or up by 15 points with a minute left he has to be in the game. That's the only way to heal his elbow and finger. Ain't that right Spo?

Guess he can't wear one of his 7 championship rings. [/Bulls, Knicks trolls]

Anyways hope it's not too severe.

Maybe a blessing in disguise. He gets a chance to rest hopefully, Spo has been overly playing him as of late. This also can give Bosh more flexibility in taking shots, which could lead to the confidence boost he needs.

Hopefully we can still win, is Miller healthy yet? Having him would be good! If not lets try giving Harris some playing time, he was great in that Atlanta game

For the love of god, SIT HIM OUT. He should have sit out a long time ago, with his elbow injury. BEcause he doesn't freakin' sit out and he plays 40 minutes in a blow out, he's more tired and then he's injured.

GOOD GRIEF. I hope he's fine, but this is severe because he's very important to us.

This is on Spo imo. LeBron clearly hasn't been himself for the past few games, and should have rested even if it was just one game(like the DET game)....

WTF was he doing playing them at the end when we knew it was a blowout and they weren't trying? Spo is so blind o_o

No wonder LeBron looked just more bad as usual... elbow, finger, tired.

I mean luckily he isn't left handed, but with his less aggression already hurting the team, JUST SIT HIM OUT!!!

I'm on board with resting guys.

I b**** and moan after losses but really who cares about the regular season. We're probably not catching Chicago and Orlando probably isn't catching us. #2 in the East it is. The Thunder and Spurs are right there with us in the west but again, that doesn't matter. The Spurs had the top seed last year and got eliminated, partially because they were not at full health.

We won one game each in Philly, Boston, Dallas and two in Chicago. This team has been very good at home.

Start telling guys to bring their suits to the game.

Edit:
That Detroit game was stupid as hell. No reason for him to have been playing.

Thibodeau over plays Deng a lot for Chicago - including in garbage time. So it's not like Spo is the only coach in the league that does this. However, just because one coach makes mistakes doesn't mean ours should.

Either way he needs to sit and rest. Freak of nature or not, he's clearly tired and a game off would help a lot.

Plus isn't this like when Wade got hurt? Bosh did very good when it was just him and LBJ, so who says we won't see the same thing again?

I want to at least finish with a better record than OKC/SAS so we have HCF in the finals against those Western Conference teams if me make it there. No way do I want the series to start in OKC. However, rest/fatigue>record right now, especially when our key guys are starting to get injured.

This is on SPO. Rest the guy. why keep him in during the Detroit game, 40 minutes, in a blow out, WITH A RE-AGGRAVATED right elbow injury. That was stupid. Dude was too tired for the game that sort of/kind of mattered more: OKC. So, the guy still doesn't get sat out, and plays a full 40 minutes in a blow out for Indiana with an elbow injury and this new dislocated ring finger injury.

Sit has ass out before he tears an ACL.

The Indy game annoyed me. They obviously weren't in the game all night, especially LeBron (went 9-21, started off hot then dislocated his finger).

But remember when Spo rested Wade in the 4th in a critical stretch, I thought they gave up. BUT HE BRINGS WADE BACK IN LOL!??? When the game was over.

Wtf is Spo smoking.

Fantastic, played him for 40 minutes in a blowout to. Seriously if i was the owner of the team i would look to protect my investments.

I can tell you this. If this keeps on, i mean his playing time to the playoffs he is going to get burned out. You can already see it when he is playing for gods sake!!

Popovich sits out his entire team, looks out for their minutes etc. But no we have to play an injured superstar right to the ground.

This is on Spo but thats a given. Lebron should know better too, one would think someone with a brain like Pat would walk in and say its time to rest.

He'll play and be fine. Though I wish we'd start rotating out the big three so we can make sure they have some energy saved for the playoffs. This schedule is brutal right now.

Agree with most, but 2 of the 3 Spurs' superstars are way into their thirties... :roll:

Age doesn't matter with this type of schedule, you need to monitor minutes/games played.

Then he won't win the MVP

If Spo has a brain, he will sit LeBron out. Were #2 seed anyway and we dont need #1, playoffs is all that matter to us at this point, if it was up to me Bron would have next 3 games off.

I was actually going to get tickets for the Raptors game since I live in Buffalo... I went to a Cavaliers game back in 07 and LeBron didn't play, I don't think I could put up with it happening twice haha
