    You don’t dive for a ball at someone’s knees and ankles, but ok. Maybe that’s just me though, no ball is worth diving for at the risk of seriously injuring someone.

    Looking back at the video, Hill reaches for the ball before Lebron plants his leg in front of him, at which point Hill's momentum was too great to avoid contact.

    I don't think LeBron was blaming Hill.. He was just stating what happened & that it was out of his control.

    I mean Hill's knee is on the ground even before Lebron puts his leg in front of him! Unfortunate but Hill is in the clear here in my book

    LeBron running his mouth again in not wisest of fashion with that smack at Hill for what, yeah, clearly was just an accident. Like him landing on the defender’s foot to tweak the ankle the opposite direction against the Pacers at the end of the game. S*** happens.

    That was a Huuuuge 3.

    Big win, he can rest the ankle and eye for a few days. Needs to be fully healthy for round 2. Our bigs can handle the load against the Suns, so we don't need him desperately for this next one.

    He really picked up the energy and intensity in the second half tonight after his movements didn't look right in the first half.

    Dare I say it was the greatest shot in the history of the play-in?

    Biggest shot since AD’s 3 against Denver? Still can’t believe he hit that.

    He did look a step slow in the first half but he rounded into shape in the second half and overall had a great game.

    Hope that eye is okay. At first I thought he was playing up the drama while the refs were reviewing to try to get the flagrant, but you can tell his eyes really bothering him right now.

    He's got no lift right now: hopefully as the ankle loosens up and he gets better conditioning it will help

    Overall I was impressed with GS defense: good teaching moment for the Lakers as you have to get spacing in there against these types of teams

    Lebron "curryed" Curry .

    As always he needs to trust his midrange J more in this type of game .

    The ankle bothered him but he'll be fine by Game 3 , we should be able to get the split in Phoenix despite this .

    Not worried

    Hopefully the 3 days off will be enough for the ankle and eye.

    After so many years on his legs...LeBron is still the difference maker between lottery and championship contention.

    That is truly remarkable. His longevity is one of a kind.
