    I don't know about the last part, he was going strong at the end of last season. He'll be ready for the playoffs. I find myself getting to a weird place with Lebron though. I still appreciate the greatness as a player, but I'm starting not to like the person.

    LOL …. Hans. Welcome to the party pal. And reverse it you’ll come around on Russ “the player” in the playoffs being an opponent’s target. :D ;)

    He’s going to be on Rob’s long list of vet minimums to pick from this summer.

    he's partially guaranteed next year, so it's unlikely he's available, but yeah, definitely an intriguing reclamation project.

    Hasn’t played in forever. I’d have to see how he looks and get numerous opinions on his health.

    Young Bron sucked. He only averaged 21/5.5/6 and 1.6 steals in his rookie season. :)

    Jeezus Kobe jacked up his right shoulder early with the pump fake and LeBron landing right on it. Kobe started shooting left handed, at least early in that tape.

    I hate his 3 ball. I hate his predictable final play of pound the ball and then hoist up a miss from 3.

    Maybe the Denver game wasn't scheduled rest. Didn't think he looked like the Bron during his recent tear.

    Also playing a 38 year old 47 minutes (even if we had to) is bad.

    Someone on the coaching staff NEEDS to tell him he’s shooting below 30% from three.

    He is OLD. It’s up to him to adjust, or the team to adjust, or more importantly both. This is the sort of game you’re going to get when the dude has had to go on a tear to carry us. You can say he had a game off, oh wow a whole game, doesn’t matter a bunch this far into a career. Not just 20 years, years and years of playoffs and Team USA appearances. Add up the playoffs and he’s played like 3 1/4 extra full NBA seasons (266 games).

    I'll disagree with Irwin that Bron can't get to the basket to a degree. He can't turn the corner, that's clear. But I think he can still get downhill and to the rim on a straight away with his jets. BUT why waste it? Why endure the contact and exert himself? He's not going to get the whistle and is going to get beat up like it's a 90s Knicks vs. Heat game. When the 3 is not there and he's not trying mid range, his offense gets a little ugly.

    He didn't lose this one for us. The team was mostly awful, especially from 3 and the ft line. We shouldn't have been in this one.

    he'd get to the basket easier if he didnt have 3 or 4 guys clogging the paint.

    Ham played a lineup of no-shooters at the end of regulation and all of OT.
