    Gotta love RonStu. He's like "jokingly" hating on Bron... but that's what he actualy thinks and feels. Gotta respect that :)
    As for Bron... he old. That missed dunk in the OT. Smh...

    That coast to coast two handed dunk gave us the energy we needed to mount a comeback. Great game from an old and done Lebron.

    He's a BEAST. I'm so happy we got AD because you can see that LeBron has more energy because he has to do a lot less than last year - instead of having the pressure of scoring every time, he can just throw it to AD and get a bucket - and then he can come down and get a bucket next play - it's literally pick your poison. I love it. 39-16-12? Are you kidding me?

    Also, we need to talk about LeBron's FT shooting - that's been the most surprising thing that I've seen to start the season. He's shooting a career high at 83% so far through 5 games. Keep that up, and we're looking at the most efficient player in the NBA in Year 17. He's averaging 26-11-7 on 50% fg, 35% 3, and 83% ft. Those are insane numbers man. I hope he can sustain this

    Yeah, it’s strange to see a 35-year old with that much mileage put up those numbers. It should not even be possible.

    Actually Kobe at 34 put up 27-6-6 before he snapped his achilles so yeah Kobe is the last person at that age to put up elite numbers like this

    When’s the Miami re-up trip?

    He activated Kang mode a little too early this season.

    As a native Clevelander, I can attest he's been in game managing since his return to Cleveland and it's gotten worse every year.

    On that pass to Green for the 3 that sent the game to OT, I was thinking LeBron threw that low... nope.... Danny said he likes that pass low because it forces him to bend his knees on the catch, so he's in position to jump shoot faster.

    That pass was precisely where Danny likes it for that shot, and they had practiced it exactly that way many times in practice.

    LeBron is an incredible passer

    He saw AD's FT% and knew he had to fix it or he'd never shoot a technical free throw again. Not sure why he waited this long to fix his FT, but his delayed release is working magic so far.

    Yeah the FTs are great...but that defense doe. When he plays the PnR handler, he only allows 0.23 points per possession....that puts him in the 99th %ile in the league.

    https://stats.nba.com/players/ball-handler/#!?SeasonType=Regular Season&TypeGrouping=defensive&CF=TEAM_ABBREVIATION*E*Lal&sort=PERCENTILE&dir=1

    Oh and then there’s Bron’s contribution on the offensive side of a PnR as well.



    Players that avg a minimum of 30mpg league wide, AD is inside the top 8 and Bron is in the top 20 when it comes to defensive win shares.

    https://stats.nba.com/players/defense/?sort=DEF_WS&dir=-1&CF=MIN*GE*30&Season=2019-20&SeasonType=Regular Season

    For what he needs to do for our team: primary playmaker/ball handler...primary or 1B 4th quarter option...playing big minutes...the s*** he is still doing on defense is pretty amazing....cause in bball years he’s old AF.

    I don’t have the numbers, but Kawhi wasn’t on him that much, iirc.

    Btw, that’s holding on Dwight Stayley right there.
