    He’s so annoying holy fuck acting like he’s smarter than everyone with his generic thoughts. This is what happens when you don’t have anyone in your life to check you.

    I hate to say it but LeBron is right they ran the Players real hard in the shortened season NOW did he do all he said he did who knows but like i said IF he did say it then he is 1000% correct and the NBA should be ashamed of themselves.

    LeBron took a ton of time off this season. Teams were resting guys... I mean, if you need a break take a break. Especially All Stars.

    I think they should call an end to the season right now. No Champion this season

    Just cause you think LeBron is an ass and i cannot totally disagree do not let the fact the basic part of what he said is correct. The quick turn around and compressed schedule DID hurt players in the long run and the part DID James speak up and say this well who knows but the basic point was correct. Also the NBA lost money during the shortened season so next year -- let's have a mini Tourny middle of season -- all about the $$$$ and screw the players. Maybe it's about money for the players too but even i kind have saw this coming with the quick turnaround.

    So what was all that rest they took with load management? Guess it didn't work.

    Hey lebron, you lost in the first round to a better, more well rounded team. Accept it.

    My impression is that most teams compensated for the condensed season by having less practices and lighter practices, Not buying his argument.

    AD and Kawhi are both going to get injured regardless.

    I suggest Lebron takes a nap from the start of the 2nd through the end of the 3rd.

    Blame your coach for not managing your load. Blame your gm for building a roster that is far below average when you're load managing.

    Covid was f'd for everybody. Everybody's work was changed/affected. Too bad their season didn't include 6 months off and a trip to the tropics.

    Cry me a river.
