Only way we will win games and people will be accountable. He isn't hurt, so ride him.

| I'd love for that to happen. But he's too old. Too bad DLO plays like heroin in human form at that position. |

Or plan B
rebuild, find a way to get rid of Lebron
Truth is we are hostages to this until Lebron decides to leave. Either that or a miracle happens. |

Lol
I don't know. It doesn't seem like we are built for this fast paced up and down style. Might as well slow it down, play defense and try and see if the ugly style works.

1. We're not built to play slowdown basketball. We only play well when we turn defense into fast breaks and early offense.
2. LeBron can't and shouldn't play full-time PG with all the wear and tear he has. That was the thinking behind the Westbrook trade and probably the thinking behind trading Westbrook for DLo.

| Unsustainable minutes for AD and LBj. I was hoping they do it for playoffs. |

Ham is playing Lebron like he's still 28. We're overextending Bron and AD just trying to make the playoffs. It's ridiculous. It's almost like our goal is to make the playoffs this season.

We don't have a choice, we have a shot at 6 seed this way. Play in the other way

| Needing to rely on a 39 year old should make any team nervous, even if it is Lebron. |

Isn't that the goal? We don't have the luxury to rest anyone. Teams are all about even

They are paying him as much or more than any other superstar player that has to play games. What are you expecting with that much salary in 1 player? To find other ways to win? Lol

This is our team. There is no alternative plan that will work with this group.

That lineup tweak definitely worked.
Prince, Vando and Cam are all long and athletic enough to hide LBJ on the defensive end. As long AD stays healthy, he's the human eraser.
The fire power off the bench with AR, Rui and now DLO will work.
What we need badly now is a big that can rebound and defend for 10-15 minutes. |

This is why the Lakers better only make a small move if any in terms of the future..
RS is a young man’s game, if it takes this much of traditionally fragile AD/LBJ to beat just a good young team (not a contender) the playoff ceiling is not getting higher by loosing depth….
It is what it is…making it through (healthy) to a 4-5 seed and a second round appearance would be actually a decent outcome. LBJ is amazing, just enjoy the show and don’t be surprised when he misses RS games in order to make it through… |
