Great to see LeBron regaining his form. This bodes well for the Lakers and potential free agents who had any concerns over Lebron’s imminent decline or health in regards to his groin injury…. Expecting Lebron to consistently drop 30-35 points after sitting out 5 weeks" from a groin injury is just idiotic. Steph curry talked about Lebron's injury when it happened...

You got to take those first four or five days, that was what my experience was, to make sure you don't do any more damage," Curry told The Undefeated. "You have to let the healing process start. That is one you can't really rush. That is how I felt because it was such a delicate area.

The biggest frustration is that you get to a point where you are pain-free but you still have to be a little bit more cautious," Curry said. "I don't know the severity [of LeBron's injury], but becoming pain-free is just one step. And then you have to ramp up your load on the court to make sure everything you do won't set you back. That is the one thing that you can't afford with that injury, is to keep reinjuring it."

Curry sat out 11 gms earlier this season with a groin injury. He struggled shooting the ball after he made his return. In his first 14 games back. Curry had some less than stellar shooting performances:

7-17 fg
3-12 fg
6-16 fg
7-22 fg
5-17 fg
6-15 fg


These were the shooting numbers in 6 of Curry's first 14 games back...I remember defending Curry's poor shooting when peop[le started clowning him.

Curry just came back from a long layoff...He's going to have a couple of off shooting games before he fully finds his rhythm...He'll be fine.

LeBron missed 18 gms, is not a natural shooter like Curry, and was 15-20 heavier than his normal playing weight at the time of his return...So you would expect him to take a little longer regaining his shooting touch/conditioning/Rhythm.
