    Honestly LeBron would be beast mode in the 80s and 90s. A champ like him would make the proper adjustments for his time, and tell me what other player other than Karl Malone had his psycho physical dimensions. He'd bully people around too.

    Not sure if it's already been posted (don't feel like wading through an argument about Lebron James, of all things) in this "game thread", but Freeland is listed as day-to-day after sustaining a left hip strain on Saturday. But he was at practice and it doesn't look serious.

    I also read that McCollum has shed his walking boot and was on a stationary bike today. Still no timetable for a return.

    Glad to hear Freeland is better but don't honestly know if he improves the team over the alternatives.

    That is very shocking with McCollum a bone break isn't something you normally increase activity from until its 100% healed.

    What exactly did they do again to fix his broken bone?

    You're still listing All-Star players, so it's not really the best example of the refs calling the game fairly. How many times has Chris Paul fouled out? Lillard has had some foul trouble so far this season because of his increased intensity on defense. How often does Paul get into foul trouble? Point guard is probably the hardest position to defend, wouldn't you think?

    They did an ultrasound procedure to "promote bone growth."

    So Batum and LaMarcus get the same allstar treatment as LeBron James. Thanks for proving my point.

    They better be damn careful doing this to babies. Shortened CJ's injury from 6 months to 26 days.

    I just wanted to pipe in that Howard is very much a below average defender 20 feet from the basket, and not the greatest 15 feet from the basket where LMA plays.

    The Parsons/Batum matchup will also be big tonight.

    Rockets are going to come to the Moda jacket up from a bad loss of the 1st game of a back to back.
    The Clips are kicking their ass.

    49 points halfway through the 2nd and you're DOWN 13?!?!

    Are the Clips going to get a 75pt half? 80?

    did something happen to DwightMare? Box score shows only 4pts/2reb in 6 minutes--other starters are at 16. Are they just going small-ball?

    He picked up early fouls in the first trying to guard Griffin. Maybe we'll be lucky and have the same thing happen tomorrow night.

    Man, a shot chart like that for a PF looks fun.

    Man after watching that Clippers-Rockets game I'm not so sure about Houston's interior defense. Sure CP3 can make any team look silly, but Howard just looks like a different (lesser) player - no lift, sort of stiff, and definitely not the same guy he was 2 or 3 years ago.
