Honestly I hope he doesnt return just yet. I feel like he is being rushed a little bit. He could barely run a couple days ago

It's going to be 6 weeks, so he isn't coming back early.

Problem is Lakers need to gel before the playoffs. It will hurt the team if LeBron and company doesn't have reps together and figure things out on the court + rotations. Can't be doing that in the 1st round.

It's a high ankle sprain, its not like he is coming back from pulled groin / sprain knee / pulled hamstring that feels fine but then pulls again randomly, like Harden.

He had a lot of time for sure but Im saying that based on the latest footage we have of him running. Sunday would be better, I just hope they know what they doing

No excuses LeFam. Lebron is back in the lineup with 10 games left in the regular season. Lakers better win it all. For the record I think they will.

Returning early to prevent Lakers from falling to the 6th seed and facing clippers in the 1st round.

LeBron doesn't want the kawhi smoke, never has and never will.

With Andre Dumbond as starter? They have allowed a 115.6 offensive with him on the court so far. Also no rondo who was their 3rd best player. I don't see it.

I personally think the clippers are winning the west this season as they are a far more balanced team than they were last season.

Rondo is far better than Lou who is a liability in the playoffs

Same for Serge over Harrell.

And likewise for Lue over Doc as he actually makes adjustments in the playoffs and is not afraid to bench players if they are playing bad in favour of other players on the bench.


And if PG plays as well in the playoffs as he is currently playing they are going to be very hard to beat.

I predict LeBron will score 10 points then sit the rest of game

LeBron has won titles with players dumber than Drummond and worse defenders (Irving/Love).

The way Dennis Schroder is playing right now has made LAL forget about Rondo.
