Man this s*cks...

LaMarcus playing with a torn ligament and LeBron is sitting with hurtie ouchie wrists.

You better hope that is all it is-very concerned.

 

[TFIR]

Fine with me. I'd like to see Lebron take more days off anyways.

 

[Walter White]

LaMarcus playing with a torn ligament and LeBron is sitting with hurtie ouchie wrists.

Exactly. Lamarcus denied freaking surgery that was supposed to put him out 2 months to keep playing. LeBron can't play with a "sore wrist" in an important time where we need to keep this momentum going.

There goes our momentum

 

[Binkster]

I'd feel better about this if we didn't rely on LeBron to shoulder so much of the load last night. That said, I still like our chances.

We've been winning with LeBron but not solely because of him.

 

[malus]

Figures the year he comes back is the most injured he's been in forever. C'mon Blatt, coach us to a victory.

Very different situations. Portland plays in the LOADED West. Out there, without him (and Batum is injured as well) the Blazers could literally finish out of the playoffs. Easily.

In the East, no way in hell of that happening to the Cavs.

Feed the ball to Love in the post. And force some open 3's for JR and Kyrie... just hope the shots fall

 

[MH32246]

This will be an interesting night in this thread .

 

[Walter White]

Kyrie and Love need to have monster games for us to have a chance. I could see Kyrie having one, but I'm doubtful on Love. If he has a big game, it would be his first of the season. He has had plenty of solid games, but I'm taking a BIG game from him.

Figures the year he comes back is the most injured he's been in forever. C'mon Blatt, coach us to a victory.

It's also the oldest he's ever been. And after 4 title runs. This is Lebron 2015. I'll still take it.

 

[All4One1ForAll]

Ugh after today's game LBJ will have sat out about a fourth of the season thus far. I know we want to preserve him but a hurt wrist? He should play. This streak is important for the team going forward and there's no way we win this game without him.

 

[MH32246]

Damn you Windy writing your article about the Cavs needed to find a way to rest Lebron some of these games this week because of the 4 in 5 night schedule.

 

[Walter White]

It would be worth it if we gave Shump a ton of minutes and he has his coming out game. Let Shump loose today.
