Yes, and he will never claim that if he ain't active with playing basketball. If he says he can do it then he must be keeping up his shape everyday and didn't stop from playing ball. The question is if they are testing this players first or will have a tune up game just to be sure they can still handle the heat of the game.
NBA needs more players as much as possible to avoid postponing them. This will be a problem in the long run if the games to catch up will pile up.

There is a nice game tonight as far as I can see. Brooklyn Nets are going to host LA Clippers in Barclays Center. Nets are having a solid season just as Chicago Bulls in the same conference for example. They have the same amount of wins and losses but Bulls are leading the conference now. And I see that KD and Harden both are able to play. Clippers are in a bad situation as Paul George is still injured. I think that Nets will be able to destroy them.

Does seem like an easy bet to win but I can't imagine the risk/reward would be there to make it worth anyone's time to gamble on it...

The Nets should be getting Kyrie back for road games pretty soon too right?  I don't think anyone is worried about them.  KD can carry that team to the playoffs by himself.  The Lakers on the other hand are a total mess.  They really need to get it together if we're going to see the Lakers vs Nets Finals matchup that everyone wants to see.  Anything less than that would be a bit of a disappointment, even though the Warriors and Bulls are clearly deserving for how they've been playing so far.

It is not really about Lebron playing against a bad team or a good team, it is about him still being able to do it at the age of 37 on his 19th season. It just doesn't make sense how he does it as well. Like maybe Steph will be that good when he is that old, why? Because, he is a shooter and you can shoot very easily when you are 37, hell you can still shoot at 47 with ease as long as you practice but other parts would fall of a cliff at that age. Lebron is different, he is built like a truck and he is 6'8 at the same time, dude still runs the floor very fast and dunks over people at age 37.

Like yeah 43 points is already incredible enough but we are talking about him doing it by forcing his way inside whenever he wants to even at that age. I have to say there has been no player like Lebron at age 37 ever before, dude is by far the best at that age for sure.

That's the issue of some analysts about the Lakers. They are relying too much on an aging veteran that is almost out of the prime already.

Lakers are in big trouble if they are only winning if Lebron James will put up big stats.  But on the other hand, it just proves that LBJ still can make big numbers despite being out of his prime already.

No wonder, if LBJ will maintain those numbers, he will surpass Karl Malone at 2nd All-Time scoring leaders.

Actually, Kyrie can play but since he is full of pride, he chooses not to play. He is not just eligible to play on New York Knicks but allowed in some states. If Kyrie thinks from the beginning that it's not that he is unable to play on all games, he should be playing now against teams outside New York.

He is now back in practice and maybe we can expect him back in action a few days from now.

Lakers are not going to the finals, period.

LeBron is having one of his best seasons so far in terms of production and yet they are still struggling to get above .500.

The Nets have a real chance of winning the East and perhaps the whole championship - they were so close to beating the Bucks last year. But it will depend on the Kyrie situation as well as how healthy KD stays.

Well the Lakers can be in the face-off for the last spot in the West, just like last year when they eliminated the Warriors. So it will be very difficult for them to reach the finals so I won't bet on that outright. Warriors and Suns will be the team to beat in the West. I guess too many stars in one team is not a recipe for a championship run. The chemistry has been questioned since the beginning and up to know it is still a problem for them.

Demar has really made a comeback.

Another really good game winner from Saddiq Bey for detroit, and Terrance Mann managed to close out a comeback win for the LA Clippers against a stacked Nets team.

The Clippers are incredibly deep and I think that if they get Kawhi back this year, they will be able to become title contenders again.

Yeah, the LA Lakers will likely to give Bosh an opportunity rather than the Heat and if it will happen then it's a good news and it would really mean much for the Lakers even if it's just a 10-day contract because their team really needs some help from another superstar whom LeBron is familiar and the chemistry is good. Bosh will be a good replacement of Davis even if it's temporary. But as I read the article, seems that Bosh is only interested on the Miami Heat.
