For the sickos who like to watch, Thursday’s @LockedOnLakers podcast, YouTube version. Among the talking points, what’s the possible explanation for LeBron’s cryptic “something’s fishy” tweet? @LockedOnNetwork @LockedOnNBAPods

ESPN looking at an intracity matchup of LA teams and saying, “Nah, we’re good,” is such a referendum on this Lakers team. Even with LeBron out, even for Warriors/Suns, it’s still a pretty stunning message of the Lakers lack of appeal right now. – 1:34 PM

Philosophical question: Do you think that ESPN would flex off that game if everything else was the same, but LeBron James was healthy? – 1:32 PM

#Cavs snap a 20-game losing streak in Miami 111-85. Mind boggling that last team to win there had @LeBron James and @Shaquille O’Neal. What a step. – 9:47 PM
Joe Gabriele @CavsJoeG
Last time the #Cavs won in Miami, LeBron, Shaq and Booby Gibson were in the starting lineup. Big Z, Andy and Jamario Moon came off the bench. Mo Williams and Delonte West were inactive. Cleveland won by a point — 92-91.
#Cavs up 24 tonight. Early 4Q. – 9:22 PM

“I thought I had that LeBron effect. I could come in and just do it by myself. But this is the NBA. You realize you really can’t do it by yourself,” #Timberwolves star @Karl-Anthony Towns told @TheUndefeated. bit.ly/3rrgHJ5 #nba #Minnesota – 7:09 PM

Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid said “it’s going to take awhile” for him to fully round back into form after an extended bout with COVID-19. Embiid had his second straight rough shooting performance in Wednesday’s 88-87 loss to the Boston Celtics. “I would never use it as an excuse but obviously I think it’s going to take me awhile to get back, especially legs and cardio and all that stuff,” Embiid said after going 3-for-17 against Boston, making him a combined 7-for-33 across Philadelphia’s past two games. “But every single day I got to keep working hard, and keep getting better.” -via ESPN / December 2, 2021
