Please don't post pics of me without permission. It's impolite at least, dangerous at worst.
 
Why is he on the bench tonight?

Thought his doctors advised against him from sitting for prolonged periods.

:dance:

That was an excuse. He was just in Miami colluding and plotting his next return with Wade & Riley.

/ESPiN nonsense
 
The math equation for finding what someone's weight would be at any given height is multiplying the person's current weight by the percentage of whatever the new height is in comparison to the current height three times. For example, since LeBron is 6'8" and the new height is 5'10", 70/80 = .875. 240*.875*.875*.875 = 160.78125 lbs. You, sir, were spot on. The reason why you multiply the current weight by that percentage three times is because the person is, at least in this scenario, only 87.5% the height, 87.5% the width, and 87.5% the thickness of a 6'8" person, assuming all proportions stay the same. For example, if I were Shaq's height, I'd be about 408 lbs. That's about an average of a little over 12 lbs added per inch. The 8 lbs per inch isn't an accurate way of measurement since each inch of height adds exponentially more weight. Body weight also has a lot to do with it as well.
i go by the eye test, and its pretty accurate.

look at LBJ highschool, senior, and tell me how much you think he'd weigh if he was 5'10. There is no way he looks like he'd be 30 lbs heavier than Tom Hardy in Warrior, which by your math is what the equivalent would be.

7-8lbs an inch for me

is this a hulking 210lb looking (at normal height) guy who juices? or is it someone that looks like he weighs 160-170 at normal height?

Additionally, by your method(which seems logical, make no mistake), I would weigh around 220 at 6"8, putting me twenty pounds less than the guy in the picture. If I was my size at his height, I would be able to roll him into a ball and shotput him about a hundred yards

Edit: sorry free agency, read your post wrong. :/ also, apparently I'd be lbj size at his peak right now

He needs to return on Sunday. Cavs are one loss away from being a .500 team.


We're thankfully in the East. 1-2 games better or worse in January should not dictate when he returns. I mean, obviously, the sooner he's back the better, but if the doctors recommend 5 more days, he should take 5 more days.
 
This David cat hasn't a clue what he's talking about.

If you had any experience at all personally you'd know HGH is pretty much worthless for the benefits you're attributing to it.

HGH as a standalone is great for a lot of things. Putting on muscle and weight would be very low on the list. Maybe not even visibly perceptible in most cases. HGH is great for recovery in athletes. It's great for skin and an assortment of other cosmetic things in the aging population.

It's usefulness in regards to enhancing athletic size and strength is in muscle and strength retention post-cycle. In other words, it helps you to keep steroid gains in size and strength during your post-cycle therapy when a person is traditionally giving back most of the gains made while cycling.

It's incredibly useful for a bodybuilder, but not for someone who is routinely tested for steroids by the league and by International Olympic testing throughout his career. That they enacted an HGH-specific test is irrelevant unless you believe he's been constantly cycling for years, taking HGH to retain gains, and has never misjudged a steroid test once, which are incredibly hard to game when you're talking about international testing.

If the argument is that he isn't himself because of the recovery benefits from HGH aren't there, it's doubtful, but not out of the realm of possibility.

If the argument is," look at the size of him. HGH!" The person making that argument is an idiot and speaking gibberish.

Or you read my post where it implies hgh use in: "never had an injury until now".

The other part, gaining mass while keeping low body fat, is a benefit of hgh.

I don't know what you're arguing. It is not"negligible" on its own with years of use, and coupled with aas, is entirely possible and likely the reason fir more than a 40 pound addition of muscle while never seeing a noticeable increase in body fat.

Read more on aas if you don't think there's an ester with a half life of a day. If you don't think it's easy to pull off..

*shutters at the thought of using test suspension* I couldn't do it, dude. 3 times injections daily? Yuck. Once a day was more than enough for me when using props and acetates.
 
Since Lebron went out starting with the Atlanta game, here are the FG% numbers for each game:

44%, 34%, 38%, 41%, 38%, 42%, 41%

Our ORtg in the last seven games: 99.7, equivalent to the worst offense in the NBA not counting Philadelphia. I knew we would struggle without him and there have been other injuries but damn are we reliant on him.

We have literally no PG play, Kyrie is off in his own little world dribbling the ball and Delly has been a walking turnover and both of them all the while playing abysmal defense.

And in the three games before that with LeBron their percentages were:

44% against Miami, 41% against Orlando, and 38% against Detroit, with an offensive rating of 95.9.

Would have been great to see how a healthy team not in the middle of roster upheaval would have performed without him.
 
The crazy thing about all this talk RE FG% & ORtg is that this + many more statistics almost become null and void given the recent roster overhaul.

The change in personnel coupled with the fact that LeBron is still injured means that we won't yet truly understand the impact that LeBron being on/off the floor has on this current set of players. It also now provides very little statistical insight into this current team as the level of change now makes for a challenging analytical comparison given the major difference between pre & post trades.

In fact, the recent overhaul almost acts as a reset button to both LeBron's and the teams statistics. It's a different world we're living in now, fellas. And this team now has an expedited chance of finding themselves easier than they ever did before.
