    I'm not worried at all actually. If he can play through a mangled finger, he can play through a dislocated one.

    Random Lebron points:

    • His PER this season is 32.0. That would be the best mark . . . ever. Jordan’s high was 31.7, Wilt’s 31.8, Magic’s 27.0, Bird’s 26.3, Kareem’s 29.9, Shaq’s 30.6, Duncan’s 27.1, and Kobe’s 28.0 (24.7 this year).
    • To put his PER in perspective, Lebron uses 33.16 possessions a game. Those possessions result in 42.5 points. That means that if Lebron used all of his team’s possessions, they would end up with an offensive rating of 128.3 (LA leads the league at 110.4). Kobe uses 31.51 possessions a game and those result in 37.9 points, leading to an all Kobe offensive rating of 120.2. Both are off the charts, but the gap between the offense Lebron and Kobe create is huge.
    • Lebron is more efficient in scoring the ball because he shoots a better percentage, which is primarily the result of both getting to the basket more and finishing at a higher rate when there. Lebron shoots 40% of his shots inside at a 74% clip; Kobe shoots 23% inside at 65%. Kobe shoots better on jump shots, but only by 5%.
    • Lebron shoots 2.1% higher in true shooting %, assists on 5% more of his possessions, and rebounds at a 3% higher rate. He simply creates much more offense, more efficiently than Kobe, and uses the ball at about the same rate. And, remember, all of this comes in Kobe’s preeminent year in terms of scoring efficiency.
    • Whatever the difference is between them on offense, it is bigger on defense. When Lebron is on the court, other teams score 97.9 points per 100 possessions; when he sits they score 105.9. When Kobe is on the court, other teams score 104.9 per 100; when he sits they score 104.2. Lebron makes his team 8.0 points per 100 better on defense; Kobe makes his team 0.7 worse. As a result, Lebron is 4th at individual defensive rating and second in defensive win shares. Lebron is the anchor of the league’s best defense. Kobe is a significant component of a strong, but far worse defense.

    I love the lack of referee involvement in this game thus far. I hope it continues in the 2nd half. This has been a fantastic 1st half of high quality basketball.

    Same here. I'm glad LeBron hasn't been getting the bitch calls he usually gets, it's been pleasant.

    Man Cleveland rotates so well on the defensive end. Laker coaches need to replay this game to show our guys how to run players off the 3 point line.

    BYNUM beasting it on the inside! Lakers lead 53-52!

    Kobe nice drop step on LeBron, but offensive goaltending on Bynum (his 3rd of the game)

    Mo blows by Fisher for a layup.

    Space Cadet for the corner THREE

    Great trey by Radman.

    Beautiful drive by Kobe, slicing through that defense.

    Yeah is Kobe gonna be okay? I could care less if we lose today but if Kobe's gonna be out for some extended time, say bye bye to homecourt in the Finals. We need him for the long run.
