He could, but at what cost. Sure he still runs like a young guy but he must also conserve his energy. The season is long, injuries can happen at any time if you take it too hard and force it too much. We are still in the early stage of the season and obviously it's better the safe the best for last, meaning the playoffs or at least the rest towards it, if necessary.
LBJ always knew to keep his body in the best possible shape, so I think he also knows that doing too much would probable harm him more than doing good.

LBJ is using his IQ right now, he just let the game come to him, not the other way around or force himself to score and run. And maybe in the last 4 games of him, obviously, he unlocks another of his talent to register a triple double and his team winning the game with this kind of setup.

And it will not cost anything on his body because as I have said, the game come to him. Or he really has to do it, however, it took him 22 years to finally realized that he should change his style of game. Just like what Michael Jordan did in his second coming. That's why we had his another signature move of fade away as he is no longer young and can't take the brutal physically of the last 90's style of playing. So this is GOAT of what LBJ is showing to us right now.

If you're an NBA fan, especially of the Celtics or Cavaliers, you're surely going to be excited. Especially now that the Cavaliers have a 15-0 record. What's great about the Season Tournament is that these games also count toward the regular 82-game schedule, except for the semifinals for this NBA Cup which are not included. Hopefully, the Celtics won't get upset again, as they lost to the Atlanta Hawks in their first game of the Season Tournament (NBA Cup) although I'm also hoping that Cleveland Cavaliers to win because of their current standing. Hoping for 16-0 standing.

To be fair, they weren't happy with Ayton himself and I can understand why, he didn't really looked that good but they needed a big that much is for sure. Right now, there is no natural Centre that plays many minutes for them, Nurkic is the only one and he plays 23 minutes a game, they start the game with him but they go smaller and smaller, basically at a big part of the game I see Durant literally defending centres, that makes no sense.

So the reality is that it is not just about Ayton leaving, you can trade away or not sign your centre and that's fine, if you do not like him as a person even that's fine, hell lakers literally let Shaq go, imagine how much mismanagement has to be done to let Shaq go, so letting your player go isn't really a big deal, but not replacing him is. Ayton was let go, and nobody else was hired instead of him, and that is the problem they are facing right now, they have to realize that they are going to face a lot of issues if they are not careful and not get a centre. They should sign one right away.

They really tried to rally but fell short, and with that, their impressive 15-game winning streak came to an end....

The defending champions showed too much pride, especially on their home court, refusing to let the Cavaliers steal the spotlight.  This game was a reality check for Cleveland, and the Celtics made a strong statement, they’re still the best team in the NBA.

It was a close game.  The Boston Celtics shot over 50% from three point range or else they wouldn't have won this game.  I was impressed with how well the Cavaliers played.  It's hard to beat anybody shooting from beyond the arch at that high of a percentage.  That's what it took to get them their first loss and it was even a little controversial.  Tatum laid a pretty good foul on Mitchell at the end of the game that could have easily been called a flagrant and gave them a chance to tie the game.  The Cavs are for real.

That’s the big difference this season, a different coach, and you can see the difference in how they don’t give up easily. There’s definitely a chance the Celtics could lose to the Cavaliers. Even though their winning streak is over, the Cavaliers are consistent enough to start another one, don’t you think?

On another note, let’s talk about Dalton Knecht. He just hit a career high against the Jazz and was absolutely on fire in the 3rd quarter, going 9-for-12 from beyond the arc overall. This rookie is really making his name known, If he doesn’t win ROY this season, I’d bet he’s got a great chance at taking the 3-Point Contest crown during the All-Star Weekend. This kid is really special..

I thought that there will be one final push for the Cavs in the last 4 minutes or so. But the Celtics doesn't want to get upset here, and yeah they did shot better in the 3 points that could have save them in this game.

How about DK tonight?

37 PTS (21 in 3Q)
5 REB
0 TOV
12-16 FG
9-12 3P (T-Most ever by a rookie)

The first rookie with 35+ PTS, 0 TOV and 75+ FG% since Blake Griffin.

And as Lebron says, 16 teams f**ed it up as they skipped on Dalton.

I think their ball movement wasn’t great, which is a big reason they lost. Plus, Darius Garland really struggled, only hitting 3 out of 21 attempts, that’s like 14%. That kind of shooting definitely hurt them. Losing to the champs is still acceptable, especially since they were playing on the road. It’s just one of those games they’ll need to learn from and bounce back.

He moved so well in that game, playing like a seasoned veteran. Giving him good minutes in these situations is key as it will boost his confidence even more. Now, if they decide to put him in the starting five, the Lakers could become even more dangerous. With solid outside shooters like Reeves and Dalton paired with LeBron and Davis dominating the inside, they’d have a more balanced and lethal lineup.

37 points. Damn. That kid is sure awesome and entertaining to watch. He didn't disappoint, he used those minutes to make a name for himself and this is how stars can be born. Maybe now the Lakers will try him one more time and see if he can repeat what he has done. I just wish it would not be like another Lonnie Walker IV who was also given some minutes and proved his shooting capability but never got a contract again.
Well, Knecht is young and I think he will be like an Austin Reeves type where the Lakers will also try to make him improve his game and be one of their starting five someday. Truly, they find a gem in the market.
