Yes. As BillyMac says whatever AD has going, hopefully it doesn't spread throughout the team (like it did when LeBron was sick.)
Cavs were definitely an unfortunate team to lose AD. And definitely unfortunate some of our other regulars had rough games too in AD's absence. Oh well such things happen. |

If AD leaving in the 1st quarter. He won’t be available tomorrow night. Siakam may have his way. |

We only have 2 play makers in this team, Russ and Bron, both all time great passers and should be good enough. However, that’s another reason why trading Russ might be dangerous. (For those who thinks Reaves can make up the difference, I don’t know what to tell you) | DS says hi |
Dennis is a crappy passer for a point guard lol. |

The Cavs finally got championship #2!
At home.
Missing AD.
Mitchell getting undeserved Michael Jordan type calls.
Against the Lakers, early in the regular season.

This team needs to be built as if AD won’t play. It’s always a matter of when and not if with this dude every freaking year. |

The rest of our guys had become mostly spot up shooters, with very little ball handling duties, anymore. I felt this might have a chilling effect on them, and it did...on Reaves. Schroder, and Lonnie, have weathered this stint better. Schroder actually does get more on ball time, than the other two. But, I knew that when you needed those guys, and the team isn't playing "team" ball like they used to...that would be a problem. Here it is.
With AD and Wenyen being out for an unknown amount of time, you're going to need the role players to step up. It's on Ham to put them in a position to strp up. If it's going to be a LeBron/Russ show...
Props to Bryant. Glad to see Damion showing life. And, stop giving Pat Bev minutes that can be given to someone else, like JTA or Christie. Lakers! |
imagine if they had Myles Turner out there instead with Bryant coming in as backup. |

These are the moments Russ should step up and he crapped the bed.
Lebron had many lazy passes and the team shot way too many 3s. |

If Mitchell was 6'5", he would easily be a top 10 guy in the league |

Reaves is a good playmaker, when given the ball and opportunity. That has significantly diminished over the last few games, and I stated as such. Not sure why you would pick out the one subpar game, as evidence of Reaves being lacking... _________________ ZOOM!!!!!!!!!!!! |

AD is just flu like illness right? Not injury?
92-92… hate to say this but Bron needed to match Spyda point per point
Dust it off, next |

Seems to always be an issue.
Maybe it’s best that we just get out of this Klutch setup. Availability is part of the game, and it’s been an F for a couple of seasons for the Lakers. |

Holy *** calm down, flu like symptoms are common every season during the winter, if AD didn’t get it LeBron might have or another player on the team |

I never said he is a bad player, just not the same passer Russ and Lebron are, if we trade Russ, our playmaking will be an issue. |

In all honesty, Bev shouldn't be getting any minutes, as a starter or reserve, on the Lakers. Period. _________________ ZOOM!!!!!!!!!!!! |

But on defense he is James Harden...one dimensional chucker.

Unless LeBron is having an explosive shooting night, that's going to be hard for him. Mitchell is a better scorer than the current LeBron. _________________ ZOOM!!!!!!!!!!!! |

What’s our record when Westbrook rocks the baby something like 2-6? |

What worries me is that Lebron may not hold up if he keeps carrying this much of the load. _________________ Internet Argument Resolved |

Bubble AD didn't get sick. It sucks to miss guys to flus, and it feels like we have had a lot already. Does that mean we'll have healthy guys the rest of the way? Lets hope so, because this is a tough loss.
People should mask up during this winter, a lot of illness running around that can be mostly avoided. Be safe folks, I love you all. |
