LABron James Discussion: The Final Year?

I like to see Lebron come off the bench. It will allow Austin Reaves to get into a rhythm earlier in the game, so we can get the real Reaves back. I like to see some more youth and defense in the starting line up. It can limit LeGramps minutes. He can still come off the bench and get a good amount of shots off to get his stats even though he plays no defense.

 

LeBron no likee that and won’t happen. C’mon Redick and the Lakers aren’t going to do him that way. Rotations though can achieve a lot of particular wants around here. Up to JJ to be smart.

 

i think reaves was playing hurt before he sat. he put up some numbers with lebron out there a couple times.

lebron off the bench would be a more interesting proposition if we actually had two bona fide three and d guys to put on the floor with reaves and luka. but since we don't, i'd rather just start lebron.

 

He needs more shots

 

LOL now that he’s finally rounding into shape he’ll be as efficient, if not more, much of the time, than Luka who is a high volume gunner. Same with Reaves. Not that I’m complaining about Luka.

 

He still doesn't look right because the jumper isn't there like last year. I think that's final piece because he can't dunk over guy like Lopez anymore.

I do agree it's a bit concerning that for the all the complaints thru the years of the LeIso offense, the playsets just look more crisp with Lebron. Lost of open 3's missed last night sigh from everyone. The heliocentric Luka tends to disengage players maybe?

 

They often look better with Reaves too.

 

Luka is allergic to hockey assist the way he plays. The other issue I see is that he's such a good ballhandler that he'll try to force his way through a double instead of trying to reset the offense. Both AR and Lebron will give up the ball to get the ball back - i just dont see Luka doing that.

It's a real problem with these heliocentric Harden/Luka offenses. He's got to trust his teammates particularly when Lebron and AR are there to reset the offense. I'm going to get roasted for "criticizing" Luka but the TO's are a real problem and it's not a hard fix (compared to things like defense which is more a personnel and lineup problem)

 

I think LeBron needs to take more breaks on defense and take more shots on offense

 

Ha Ha. I guess you didn't see him giving his best to win last night even when down 18-20 points, limited by age of course. Going to the floor and finally looking quicker going to the rim and making the right passes which turned into bricks. Someone F****** had to score the ball. Why don't you just say "I hate LeBron" every post you make on him and get right to the point?

 

That’s not fair…

 

we rarely run great offense no matter who's on the floor. if that's going to be the case, lebron is the third of the three i want isolating to begin/bail out sets.

i think just like we relax when other teams are down players, other teams relax when luka's not there.

 

It happens. And tree spokesman extraordinaire Snake used to be the best in the league at it and still has those quick long arms and his anticipation.

 

#notmygoatlol

 

..... NOPE. Gawd that was a horrible period with him. (don't pick on "was" now .... I'm agreeing with you on that compilation).

 

LOL... I vividly remember some people on this site convincing me of Bron's mad 1-on-1 skillz. Nope. Never had any. Just elite athleticism and great court vision.

Now vision is all that is left.

 

Certainly not elite by ANY stretch, but not ANY is hyperbole at its finest.

 

On this level? It’s embarrassing.

Name one skill from his supposed bag? And no, step left fadeaway 3 isn’t a 1-on-1 skill.

 

some of Bron's records will stand forever. Take this one for example.

 

why we really never signed Howard even though he wanted to be here for a minimum lol
