Saw that LeBron is questionable...hard to believe he sits this one out, but I for one, wouldn't mind. Could use a bit of an easier game.

he’s been questionable most of the season. he usually plays though.

His only appearance here in NE Ohio?? He’s playing…..believe that!

This being LeBron, he'll probably warm up wearing his old Cavs jersey or something.

How about his 2016 Championship ring?

Might as well weigh in with my opinion. It's free of charge and worth every penny.

I expect a close game, since the Cavs have trouble defending the 3 point shot. The Lakers' defense will be enough to cause turnovers for us, which will feed their offense.

I think we'll pull away in the 3rd quarter, and the Lakers will come back in the 4th. It'll come down to the last few shots with Mobley, Garland, Markkanen, and Love taking them. Love will probably be out the last few minutes, unless he comes in for a last-second 3.

I expect us to win due to fewer turnovers, better rebounding, and interior scoring over their outside scoring. Say, 120-115.

He's a little more subtle. He'll have on Gladiators socks and when the press asks he'll say he's supporting the name change.

edit: I meant Guardians lol not Gladiators

Hey, you're insulting his family name! He's not gonna like that!

Some earlier posted about having Okoro defend Russ. Why? The only way to defend Russ is either by being a chair or a guy with a broom. Anything else and you are done.

LeBron’s playoff chances are questionable

With how every scrub turns all-star playing us and Westbrook turning into King Scrub, there is a chance he shoots ten 3s tonight. And makes them all.
