LABron James Discussion: The Final Year?

he was bad again in 2nd half

 

checked out in the 3rd when it became apparent they weren't going to win

 

The plus minus king

 

Here's why he's not going to stop shooting the 3 in the post season

 

So, he was great at shooting threes years ago, but is awful now. I couldn’t care less how accurate he was before- he’s hurting the team now by continuing to shoot such an abysmal percentage from behind the arc.

 

Lakers need physical AD and Lebron on O in Game 3 and 4 .. I don't care if you shoot 3-6 from 3 , you're not exploiting GS weaknesses that way

 

What I think you and other posters fail to understand is this:

- Lebron can’t attack the paint successfully every time down the court at 38. He doesn’t have the stamina or the lift any longer.

- If he doesn’t shoot the three, they’ll play him only for the drive and take that away. Further clogging the paint and making his drives even more ineffective.

- If he does shoot the three and hits it, it’ll open up the paint for him to drive. Also opening up the paint for AD.

We aren’t winning the west unless Lebron can hit some 3’s.

 

I haven’t failed to understand anything regarding him shooting an abysmal percentage from three.

 

We need Lebron to be LeBron..we aren't winning this series without it. It remains the same as always...James and Davis have to play well..we can't rely on the role players to carry us, that's unrealistic.

 

3/8 should be the bare minimum from 3 if he's taking that many.

 

Playoff mode fully engaged





I'm fine if he wants to wait 13 minutes to score if he's going to compete at this level defensively.

 

Honestly not sure how he still this good. He's old, hurt, and looks like can barely jump anymore most of the time.

 

Foot is not going to get any better until the offseason. He has to pick his spots

 

He paced himself and turned it on when we needed it. I will definitely take it.

 

And stop with the 3s already.

 

?

He was 2 for 4

 

Good game from Lebron after an invisible first quarter, but letting his son go to USC is an abysmal failure



(Ok, in actuality it’s pretty cool that Bronny is staying local and I think it’s good for college basketball compared to the possibility of him going to the G-League, but as a Bruin I’m just obligated to hate on the Trojans)
