      His knee is still messed up.  He basically took 2 years off and didn't rehab correctly which is why the doctor claimed it "career ending".  But for some reason, this awful country likes to shoot down anything that is working good, so they are pointing fingers at the Blazers as the bad guys.

Ballin’: If It’s Possible, LeBron Continues to Impress

The Grizz have lost eight of nine, and in the last four, haven’t scored more than 90 points. D Miles as an inspiration? Maybe … if missing dunks is somehow inspiring.
