I think he’ll give great energy and enough big moments that cause some to want him back full force.

I'm pumped for IT tonight. Watching IU-Wisconsin, but have the game DVR'd. I think he will provide a lot offensively. Will be interesting to see how Lue tries to hide him on defense (probably won't matter/see it until playoffs).

So far, he hasn't been too bad (8 pts, 2 asst). Sounds like his stint with the bench bunch will be short lived as Lue said he will start in the next game he plays (Saturday vs Orlando).

Good debut for IT. 16 points on limited minutes. He’s going to score a shit ton of points on this team (but probably not much else).

I wish they would keep him on the bench. Not only can he be primary scorer, which suits him best, but his defense is slightly masked by, in theory, lesser players coming at him.

That said, he looked much better than I expected. If this team is fresh and healthy for playoffs, they will be right there with whoever else you want to label as a favorite.

This.  Suck up the pride and just come off the bench.

Cabs can’t buy a bucket. Also giving up at least one wide open 3 every possession. Thank god celtics have gone cold.

Not concerned about last night, although I'm sure the media will try to spin it someway. Lebron, himself, even said he has no idea what the identity of this team is until they get IT back on a regular basis.

How about TT for DJ straight up?  Can dump that contract.

Doubt they’d do that. TT is a worse DJ with a worse contract.

Starters 10/38 and 3/21....

This is a direct result of us calling Coach T a not so great coach of defense

We are getting absolutely destroyed by Toronto. Their defense is an embarrassment right now.

This is a bad, uninterested basketball team right now.

Well....that was an ugly beatdown. If this happens again, in their next game, wouldn't surprise me if they fire Lue. Not that he's the problem.

Couldn't give a shit less. They seemingly always have a bad stretch every January/February and the media overreacts much like they are this morning.

Eventually people will learn Lebron DGAF about  reg season and isn’t going to wear himself out in it.

Pretty entertaining game so far. Players playing a little above regular season level but definitely not at NBA finals level yet. I really want another shot at these fucks. Hopefully we can get there.
