    Bron looked 35 in the 4th quarter, at some point the man has to slow down, and the Rockets were playing him HARD all night long, making him WORK on both ends, nowhere for him to rest....

    Let's hope they keep it up.

    At some point the enhancement wears out.

    He needs to get them time release ones instead of fast acting ones.

    Watch him adjust for game 2.

    Lebron is not in his twenties anymore so over a 7 game series especially with Tucker beating him up will be gassed. I don’t care how good of a physical shape he is in. He is 35 and plus Lebron has never been known for his mental toughness. That team isn’t full of hard nosed vets known for their gritt. There is no Tucker or even Covington on that squad.


    Game 2 is humongous

    They probably will and Rockets are daring them to go with more Caruso or Waiters

    You could tell he wasn’t the same LeBron. He had his flashes, but he can only do it 5-10 times per game now...the rest of the time he’s relatively normal.

    That is a good point. Honestly, for the Lakers, this series is all about Anthony Davis. He has to impose his will on this series. If he keeps playing like the sidekick, a la Chris Bosh and Kevin Love; the Lakers will lose.

    We need to continue to shut down their role players, no 3's. Their offense is really stagnant looking when the role players are off.

    It's weird though. The timing of a long layoff before the playoffs probably makes this the best chance for him to win a title with the Lakers. Plus with finally getting a break last summer.

    Even he if cannot do exactly what he did 6-7 years ago, I figured he would will himself and the Lakers through the playoffs this year.

    I wonder if the bubble (away from family for long stretches) and him wanting to become more politically active, has somewhat weakened his will/desire and focus on the court.
