LeBron James

[Superman]

that was last year

At least the expectations weren't what they were coming into this season. This was supposed to be a championship level team and after these next 2 weeks they'll be likely under .500.

in the big picture does the record the next two weeks really matter?

So negative. Let's get Love back, Marion and we will be fine. Depending how long he will miss 7-8 games. I think we go .500 atleast.

Yeah because this will set up a 5 or 6 seed for this team, meaning a likely first round exit.

One could only hope this is Blatt 'suspending' LeBron for a couple of weeks to 'get his head out of his ass'.

How does that even make sense? Let's sit probably our best player so our inexperienced head coach can prove a point? While we're at it let's sit Kyrie too.

 

[Man Called X]

right, the MRI machine is conspiring against our coach

Yes because the Cleveland Cavaliers that are usually such an OPEN book when it comes to injuries comes out and says LBJ has issues that show up on MRI days after MRIs showed nothing.

This is the same Cavalier team that kept Shannon Brown on the bench without listing him on the injury report for a over month, despite having a deep bone bruise.

This team absolutely keeps all it's medical issues in house and it doesn't seem strange or coincidental to you that this comes out?

You're more gullible than I thought.

A team with a healthy LeBron James isn't going to be a first round exit. That should be the top priority for the season, to make sure LeBron is as healthy as can be come playoff time.

edt: just last year he carried the Heat to the Finals. With all of their health issues, the heat's supporting cast last year in the playoff statistically was as bad or worse than our supporting cast in 2007.

So Ray Allen still wanted to play right?

 

[Green Lantern]

Eh, two weeks..he gets his rest..and will be back..

 

[gourimoko]

I look at this as a blessing in disguise.

For one it gives Kevin Love ample looks.
It forces Blatt to integrate Love into the offense without relying on LeBron playing 39 mpg which has been absurd.
It let's Kyrie and Love learn to play together rather than Love always being paired with LeBron. I think this will work to their advantage.
It gives us flexibility to try new things since we won't be expected to win as many games with James out.
It takes pressure off David Blatt, which for now, is probably a good thing.

I'm not happy this happened, but again, it might not be so bad in the long run.

I hope he's healthy come playoff time, but back and knee injuries can linger for a while. Honestly I'd rest him even more than 2 weeks if that's what it took.

Schedule next two weeks at CHA, Dal, at PHI,HOU,at GSW, at SAC, at PHX, at LAL, at LAC. Charlotte and Philly are the only two guaranteed wins I see.

There's a difference between not reporting an injury and making an injury up. It's also been known for a while that LeBron has had issues with his knee and back this season. Even before the jump in the Heat game he missed a game because of his knee.

Fail. A heathy trio of LJ, Irving, Love won't lose in the first round.

Yes and it's also the same LeBron who has a mysterious elbow injury that they couldn't find anything wrong with. Only to days come out later say they did find something to support the official LeBron phantom injury.

Again, knowing the history of the team and LeBron, to believe what they are saying at face value is stupid.
