    Sure, but you have to admit it's a BIG thing. And our key veteran leader was involved in the mess.

    It’s not BIG. It didn’t involve Harden or Westbrook. It’s a thing. Things happen. It’s not a thing that should in any way explain our efforts last night or be used as an excuse.

    I disagree. I saw tons of quit from what was seen last night. im past finding excuses. cf's loves to make up excuses for every single thing. Rather than admit flaws and whats really wrong. always something to blame. Yeah the house thing is unfortunate but that in no way is the reason you get demolished from start to finish, especially being 1-2 in the series.

    this reeks of clear quit

    Losing Lucas, Lloyd, Wiggins in 86 was not losing Ralph and Dream but still mattered. Losing Maxwell in 95 was not losing Dream or Drexler but still mattered. Losing Barry in 98 was not losing Charles but still mattered.

    Sure. Like I said, it’s a thing, but not a BiG thing. If Lakers lose to Clippers, it’s Kawhi beat Lebron, not Lebron was missing Bradley. If we had beaten the Warriors, as much as I think the media hates us, we would have been crowned as the team to beat the Warriors, not the Warriors were missing Iggy. Kerr made that as an excuse. Not the media.

    Not having House is a major issue.

    I would argue that House is a better driver/playmaker than Harden (at times)

    Especially when his defender is helping guard Harden.

    it was a huge and demoralizing distraction.

    behind the scenes I'm sure it was a chaotic mess since Monday. I wish the solution would have been to quarantine House, test him and release him after a 48 hour period, subjecting him to miss Game 3 and then move on with it.

    But they are clearly making an example, while at the same time NOT investigating players NOT named House, or investigating widespread violations of the safety and security protocols (that we know of)

    This is the way the season ends, not with a bang but a whimper

    So anyone know why Tyson was suspended? They had a tag team wrestling match?

    The woman involved claimed she met up with Tyson and claimed she never came in contact with House at all. Tyson and House said the same thing. Fairly certain this was Tyson trying to cover for house and take the fall but the nba wasn’t buying it.

    especially when he is in the bubble and thinks no one is watching.

    Well the NBA's L.A. Lakers winning and Lebron getting another championship was the plan. House helped it.

    LeBron and the Lakers obviously will get a helping hand by the league but LeBron totally deserves to win his fourth title. The man is a warrior who takes Immaculate care of his body and has not lost any skill even at 35

    I respect Lebron and his greatest as a player/athlete. The league and it’s antics to rise him up is a bit overboard in my opinion. Admit it or not it takes away from the outlook of his greatness.
