I would argue that his current cast is better than what he had last year in Cleveland.

This is just chickens coming home to the roost. Every team LeBron has had in the past 12 years has been permanently on the brink of some kind of turmoil. He never has enough help, so there's a constant swirl of trade rumours where no teammate is ever safe. If by some chance, the teammates are safe for the time being, then the coach is not safe. There is never any kind of stability. That might have been fine when LeBron was still young and playing out East and miraculously avoiding serious injury. He's turning 35 later this year and inevitably declining, he's playing in a much tougher conference, and he's got a young team whom you have to handle like a young team. As an teacher, the idea that you can motivate most people by publicly calling them out is so ludicrous to me.

The Lakers are currently on pace to win 39 games. They won 35 last year so I guess LeBron is now at a point in his career where he's worth 5 extra wins to a team. It will likely take at least 45 wins to make the playoffs as the bottom seed and have the honour of the Warriors getting to sharpen their knives on you. They would have to go 15-4 the rest of the season just to hit 45 wins. Check out their schedule coming up.

Can anyone see 15 wins there? vs DEN, BOS, GS, our boys and POR. @ OKC, MIL, TOR, and us again. That's 9 games against legit teams, but since we're talking about a team that lost to a 12-win Phoenix tonight, can you take anything for granted. Two games against the Clips who are fighting so hard to make the playoffs and are 4.5 games ahead of the Lakers. One game against the Kings. A game in NOLA against a team they tried to **** over hard. We've seen in the past two weeks how hard the players not named Davis on that team play against the Lakers now.

Their goose is cooked.

It's a combination of the West being way harder than the East and his teammates sucking and sulking from the trade deadline

So we have the easiest schedule remaining in the league.

OKC has the hardest.

The bad thing is Portland has the 9th easiest remaining schedule and we are still 2.5 games behind them. And I could be wrong but I feel like they have the tiebreaker over us.

We could really use a Hornets win over them today.

Ya I still don't think we catch the blazers. They are playing great

Thunder and Houston though...... Yes I think we pass them.

Portland is 22nd on another site I saw, not 16th. And they're winning today, so we are going to be 3.0 back of them. Need to go 17-3 the rest of the way. **** it.

When I eyeball Portland's schedule it doesn't look difficult at all to me.

That's cause it's the 22nd toughest in the league from Wes says. That would mean it's not too difficult.

“Fav was in Hulk mode,” Kyle Korver said.

Korver is a very observant dude as he's shown before. Yes, Hulk is the perfect word to describe Fav.
Guys like Gobert and Mitchell bring the same energy and intensity pretty much every game. Fav on the other hand has a switch. There is no question he's a consistent and reliable starter level player. However there is more to him that only becomes visible when he's angry.

Remember his first 20-20 game? It was one game after Kanter got his own big game playing selfishly and made the headlines. Hulk was pissed.

When he turns green he's a hard man to stop. He also is a constant member of all-NBA most-underrated first team besides Mike Conley and Thaddeus Young.
