I'll be sure to make a Lebron James thread so that I don't hassle people with non Lakers talk. Oh wait... |

Hart has it worst. Lebron was just “asserting” his dominance. Hope Hart has his mouth closed.

True, your fandom only can consist of so many teams.

he prob is actually nursing an injury, minor groin I hope |
Most are thinking it’s the Josh Hart play, I’m thinking it was vs. the Celtics. |
I think more people are thinking if he had an issue it was Theis, but the Hart moment has too much comedic value When he went down against Theis he was gripping his leg.
If it was against Theis it certainly didn't hamper him much so probably minor. |

| Almost positive that LeBron sitting out due to a strained groin is a humorous reference to what he did to Hart. LOL |

MIN just got fined $25K for load managing DLo.
What’s the difference between that and Lebron sitting tonight? Anyone know?

| Quote: | Russell missed the 128-116 loss for what the Wolves called "planned rest" and Russell has played in each of the team's last two games. But the league said Russell was a healthy player under league policy during that Nuggets game and fined the team for his absence.
Russell has dealt with a variety of injuries this season, and the Wolves sat him in order to preserve his health during a busy stretch of games and travel, they said in a statement.
"The Timberwolves accept the league's fine for resting D'Angelo Russell on the February 23 game versus Denver," the statement said. "While we respect the league's guidelines and standards, we are a player-centric organization that's focused on learning our players' bodies. As a new player in our program, we chose to rest D'Angelo in order to learn his body better and to optimize his health during a difficult stretch of games and travel."
The day prior at practice, coach Ryan Saunders indicated Russell, who has dealt with a variety of injuries this season to his shoulder, ankle and thigh, had some knee soreness, but when the Wolves released their injury report later that day, it said Russell was out because of the "planned rest." |

As messed up as it is that's on the Wolves for being too honest. Kind of disgusting how everybody clearly knows Kawhi is doing it purposely and it's all good though. If that injury report said "Knee soreness" instead there would have been no issues. So moral of the story is to find that gray shady area which Balmer loves to bask in. |

One of them was satisfied. Only their hair dresser knows which one.

Dumb mistake on Minny's part. Just say it's a sore knee, which is totally believable considering DLo's history.

Funny clip. Guys do we really think Lebron is injuried or is this code name for "load management." |

You don't get up to VLF's post count by letting any thought flitter in and out of your head unexpressed. If he burps, it becomes a post. |

The funniest thing about this is the running style, Lebron for as athletic as he is has almost a "duck walk", like his feet point outwards for lack of a better way to explain it. This dude does it spot on |

More load management please haha...
| Quote: | [Faigen]The Lakers are currently listing Danny Green (right hip soreness) as DOUBTFUL to play against the Grizzlies tomorrow. LeBron James (groin soreness) is QUESTIONABLE, while Anthony Davis (left elbow soreness) is PROBABLE to play.
The Lakers play against the Pelicans the next day.
