We'll know what Lebron is doing when he announces it on TV or Twitter or PPV.

This is dumb. Why save it for a rebuild when you can win it this year?

You use it to get James to sign, then go get him what he wants

I hope the Cavs try to pick him up. He could fill a major hole in the lineup.

Triple double for Ben Simmons tonight. He's been great so far. Never expected him to score so much.

Watched the 4th, 6ers are a fun team to watch. Pistons are not a good team. Fultz was invisible on the floor far as I could see.

NBA league pass free preview ends Tuesday. I'll probably invest in it. It's cool to catch the endings of some games I don't typically get to. One of the options is to VR the games. I really want to try that out.

Classy might actually be able to afford to go to a game.

Looks like hockey has the same issue. Classy can go fuck himself if he ever tries to talk about attendance and pretend Detroit is a legitimate sports town.

Tigers attendance this year was a holdover. They were a joke in 90s and early 2000s. I routinely got great seats for any game and Tribe games were 40% Cleveland fans. Next year, with Detroit KNOWN to be in full rebuild after a few playoff misses, I think we see them well below what they have been.

How about the Orlando Magic? 3-1 including a win over Cleveland while averaging 119 ppg.
Aaron Gordon with 39 points tonight.

Was just coming on to say that. He actually had 41. 3-1 Magic looking good.

Ah he must have scored another couple points after I saw it.
The Knicks may go 0-82.

Indy Minn stats are crazy too. Darren Collison had 16 ast?!? Sabonis put in a solid 15/11/5. Can't believe both teams are 2-2 and why did Butler sit?

Had a respiratory issue of some sort during shootaround.

Oladipo has been balling out for Indy, wonder if he has found a switch or if he will be back to inconsistent crap soon?

Haha should we look at the Browns attendance lately or the Cavs after Lebron left? Pistons and Wings are both pretty down

The Cavs after Lebron left wasn't even close to being as bad as the red wings' and pistons' current situation. In fact the Cavs were 3rd in attendance the year after Lebron left, nice fail. The pistons are a fringe playoff team and the red wings just came off a streak of 20+ consecutive playoff appearances as you always enjoyed reminding a bunch of people who don't give a fuck. Sprinkle in the fact the Indians had a 455 sell out streak and you have ZERO credibility to talk shit about any team's attendance, let alone Cleveland. GFY.
