Joe and Gabe both agree that it seems like LeBron doesn't care about basketball as much as he used to and it looks and feels like he went to Los Angeles for personal reasons outside of basketball, making tv shows and movies. Gabe states that since LeBron has left Miami, whenever one of his teams wins it is because of LeBron, but when they lose the blame get put on his teammates and he is not there to defend them.

In today's segment of Get Off My Lawn, Gabe calls out present day ticket prices, and how the prices have gotten out of control and unaffordable, catering to the rich people who don't really care about the team or the game and just want to be seen.

After the get off my lawn segment, Joe and Gabe continue the discussion on James Harden and the Rockets, reacting to CP3 and Harden's comments about referee Scott Foster.
