LABron James Discussion: The Final Year?

agreed

my post wasn't about him specifically, but about the team in general

Overall, it's hard to complain with what he has contributed. it's not realistic for him to be that effective on defense, but lackadaisical effort is also contagious. I do wonder if that affects the team. If so, we need to overcome that with guys who are wired to compete at the highest level regardless. Like a Schroeder.

 

Lebron has no reliable mid range/pull up game. He should’ve shot the ball, he shouldn’t have passed it to a Reddish who is left for a reason.

If you’re the best player take the damn shot

 

He couldn't move or hit anything the final 2 minutes. Plus he would've gotten mauled and they wouldn't have called it.


Hate to see him waste efforts like this, because 1) he killed himself for nothing. 2) pushing his body closer to the next injury.

 

Then let AR do it. He is obviously capable.

That was pure ego and he got stuffed.

 

AR had no legs down the stretch. Missed some good looks. I don't mind the corner shot. I would have subbed in a better shooter than Reddish though.

 

AR found his shot and swag, but he was sloppy with the ball (couldn't handle f***ing Tyler Herro pressing up on him) and that's been a theme this young season. I don't trust him with the ball as a passer with game on the line until he cleans that up.

 

He would do no worse than Bron did.

 

Who though? Christie is the only other player who wasn't hurt or ejected. He's not a shooter yet, you don't put him in that position cold of the bench.

We're short handed and had nothing left after climbing back in this one.

Bron's hero 3 I had a problem with, his drive and dish to Reddish was the right read and I don't think a single Laker on the floor could've won the game in that possession.

 

Nobody seems to notice this for some reason. Austin is not a PG..he can facilitate some as a two, but he is not a starting caliber PG.

 

Agh..the Rock is back!! The season has officially started

 

We had like 6 players at that point. LeBron did all he could and we would’ve lost by double digits without him.

It what it is if guys don’t like him or whatever. Not arguing about that at this point.

But it’s pretty clear he’s not the problem right now.

 

That was a great look Reddish had. Maybe had Christie in there instead?

 

Lebron played like the last 15 mins straight. That's risky, but I guess we had no choice if we wanted a shot to win the game.

 

Not sure how the refs can look at him with a straight face and give him those explanations. Pathetic.

 

yr last statement maybe true but Reddish is statistically the worse of all our wings at 3s, heck i would've had more faith in vando taking that shot even if it was his 1st gm back n going 0-5 at that pt

 

I'm not going to say Max would have made that shot but 100 times out of a 100 I had rather he take it than Reddish.

 

He's handling the political answers fairly well

 

He was amazing yesterday. When he turns it up, he's still a dominant player. It's crazy.

I get mad when he half-a**** plays on defense or rebounding but it's who he is now, he's saving energy to be used when he deems needed. And it can pay off by the end of the season.

Right read in the last play, he penetrated and collapsed the defense. Cam needs to make that shot, he didn't, we move on. Cam will never finish a game for us when we are healthy so it's fine

 

Against one of the more physical teams in the league this is just madness.
