It was funny watching boyz overreact to the Lakers losing the first game of the season to the Clippers. Everybody and their Uncle LeRoy, cousin Man-Man and crack head neighbor Felicia acted like LeBron was supposed to jump out of the birthday cake butt naked foamin’ at the mouth playing the first game of the season like it was the Finals.
He’d torn his groin last season on Christmas Day and missed 18 games. Even when he came back he wasn’t 100 healthy. According to him it was still partially torn. So did it really make sense to jump out of the ride moving 150 mph Game 1?
After that opening night loss the Lakers are finding their rhythm as they have eased into the season and won 5 straight with LeBron 34 who will turn 35 years old next month playing in his 17th season looking like he’s literally in his prime. Who does that?
On Friday in Dallas the dun came in and dropped 39 points, 16 assists, 12 rebounds and 4 steals in their overtime win 119-110 over the Mavericks. In year 17? That’s incredible!!!
However, because the dun didn’t jump out of the ride like it was the Finals on opening night the haters jumped out of the airplane with no parachute. And please don’t expect for him to play all 82 games because the old heads say that they used to play all 82. That’s stupid. When you know better you do better.
What’s the point in playing all 82 when you don’t have to? That’s like a dun telling me that he used to walk 3 miles one way to school barefoot. Why should a kid walk to school barefoot now when they have school buses and shoes. It makes no sense.
The goal is to get to the Finals as healthy as possible. You don’t get an award for playing 82 games. Charles Barkley played all 82 games every year. What did that get him? I’m just sayin’! Telling boyz that you played in every game is silly. Who cares how many games a dun plays in. The question is, how far did you get? Did you win a title or even get to compete for one. Unless you paid money for that particular game why do you care if a guy plays tonight or not?
Again, why would LeBron step off of the curve Game 1 and push it to the limit. He’s going to play the Clippers several times before the season is over. They’re in the same freakin’ division. They’ll play each other 5 times this season.
On Sunday night the Lakers went down to San Antonio and knocked off the Spurs with a defensive display of excellence holding them to 96 points. LeBron dropped off another triple double with 21 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds.
It’s going to be fun watching this thing develop around him. Anthony Davis is already doing work just as we assumed he would and even Dwight Howard is balling. By All-Star break the Lakers, if they can remain healthy, will be purring like a kitten and all of the LeBron haters will once again be looking for cracks in the man’s armor. Stop me when I start lyin’!
