He didn’t have any energy. 9 cities in 13 days, I believe. He was worn out by the 2nd quarter. Next game not till Saturday so that will give them some rest
Not sure I'd use that as an excuse. I mean, he played well on the last night of a 6 game in 9 day WC trip. Just a bad night.

76ers need to ante up more than Simmons for sure. How much will it take?

That's a damn good question. Not sure what the answer is to that question. But the 76ers have to get rid of Simmons before another one of Embiid's seasons are basically ruined. He's a great player. But he needs more help.

Here's another reason for all the LeBron haters out there to say he's overrated.

He's now the only player in league history with 30,000+ points, 10,000+ reb's & 9,000 assist.

@ChiefsLakers67 @trojanfan12

All of the sudden for five minutes I felt better about the Celtics when I saw that Westbrook got benched last night. What da hell's goin' on in LA-LA Land right now? I know AD's been injured but damn. This Westbrook stuff's gotta be a distraction going forward.

He may have had replacement level stats, but he clearly isn't a replacement level player. Key difference.

His trade value would've helped net either Russ or Hield, so not too low.

Ummm.

Both the Kings and Wizards were trying to get rid of those players because they are bad contracts

Westbrook was not a positive trade asset when the Lakers acquired him. All they had to do was match salary with nuetral contracts and the Wizards would have moved Westy.

This kind of stuff is fun. Kind of like MJ being the only person to win the scoring title, MVP, NBA Championship and make the first team all defense. Then he did it all 3 more times just for fun.

That's a cool stat about MJ.

Yeah I like it. Lots of ways to measure greatness. Career stats show consistency and longevity, I tend to look at it in terms of how good were they at their best?

it has to be a joke.

I HAVE heard rumors that the Cavs like John Wall and would take his deal.

Yep...he only needs another 1K in dimes to finish his NBA run at 3-D.

Only thing is, that's gonna be a real tough plateau to climb...almost down right Herculean.

But if anyone can do it...he certainly can, no doubt about it.

Well if MJ's the only NBAer LeBron's compared to that says a lot about his career. MJ's the GOAT. But LeBron's great in his own right. And how good was he in his prime? I'd say going to eight straight Finals says something.

You can nit-pick about his Finals record. But two of those Cavs teams he got to the Finals, '18 & '07, probably wouldn't have been playoff teams without him.

That is some excellent sarcasm sir. Didn't realize he's only 2,000+ points away from breaking KAJ's all time scoring record.

We expect these athletes to be ready every single game but sometimes they just don't feel right. So yeah hustle was part of it but sometimes you have your breaking point. One day is the difference. Not really an excuse bc we all know he played bad. plain and simple.

No doubt and I don't dismiss you could be right and was just fatigue. He was definitely not getting some defensive rebounds he usually gets.
