LABron James Discussion: The Final Year?

I hate SAS almost as much as i hate Skip and Barkley. Clowns place is in a circus, not making millions on national TV

 

Yeah, he only has 2 groins, and they are hanging on by worn out connective tissue. He’s close to toast. 1 more year for the going away party is my guess. He knows he can’t bring it every day like he wants to any longer.

 

incredible game defensively, but hated that last 3 he took. he just loves that shot so much for some reason

 

He played 85+ minutes of very good ball in 3 days and his team went 0-2 .

This is the 1st time I ever feel sorry for him

 

agree. i tire of the "lebron needs more help" and "look at what he's doing at his age" stuff because i think it excuses some poor play and ignores his very large salary. but in this case, he did everything he could to win those games. yes, he had some flubs--as has luka--but those guys needed their teammates to play better in this series. pure and simple.

and with how evenly matched the western conference is (i'm still not buying okc's dominance), it feels like a big missed opportunity.

 

So cruel to play that well over the weekend and lose both games. Nothing but devastating losses since 2020.

 

yeah, we're what, 2-11 in our last 13 playoff games? yipes.

 

Shut yo mouf! James da GOAT!

 

0 points in the 4th Q last night

2-11 in the last 13 playoff games

I'll give him props for his defensive play late in the game last night and playing almost the entire game. Last 2 games he's been good.

This is just a culmination of building a team around Lebron, its not going to translate into wins.

 

I have nothing but respect for the man. He set the tone early, was all over tha place, moved his feet, helped on D... he's 40 for crying out loud. I play rec ball for 45mins. and then im dying for a week. He's not human, we won't ever see anything like that ever again (at least not in my lifetime).

 

The Championship team was built around Lebron. Perhaps Rob hasn't built a decent enough squad around Lebron since then?

At some point the question becomes...are Austin, Rui, Vando, and now DFS...a championship caliber supporting cast? We had AD, now we have Luka. Similarly results in our last 3 playoffs series though.

 

Give n take, gave us a block on donte then striped naz but also gave naz open 3 n the inbound TO, dont think these guys practice inbounding with pressure

 

If we had won that Bulls game, we'd still be in same exact position, as we are now.

 

Yeah he is a natural receiver so better for him to catch a tough inbound probably

 

" One possession can change a whole playoffs series" Lebron on his podcast

Lakers played like they had ZERO playoffs experience in Game 3 and 4

 

This was supposed to be an advantage we held going into this series- so strange.

 

Well Minnesota went to the Conference Finals last season. They were also on fire in the West, over the last 25 games of the season. You can't just roll the jerseys out there, and not be prepared for the war.

 

Other than the fact that we came back from Minny without a win, the most disappoint part of that trip was we wasted a couple great Bron games. Best realistic case, there's another 12-15 left of those in the tank and we can get him one next post-season.

Game 3, offensively he was dominant.
Game 4, he put pressure on the rim and paraded to the charity stripe AND played elite defense. He came up with enough big plays defensively to secure that win.

And it's not just in the bubble of this series, what he's doing defensively this post-season is among the best in the league.
