LABron James Discussion: The Final Year?

father time has finally caught up with lebron. was bound to happen eventually considering how much mileage he's got in his legs

this franchise continues to be cursed when it comes to injuries. best hope is to just keep him out for a little while and hope he can get back to 100%, then load manage him from there

 

this offense is to reliant on James, why isnt AD able establish himself when james is out? this is a trend now, leads either disappear or deficit tends to grow with james is out n ad stays on

 

Nobody saw this coming. Losing a close game in December was that important, eh?

 

Guess so...

But I can't complain about it; it makes me emotional.

 

little dudes can now take out the baddest man on the planet

I think Laker fans need to be prepared for the "nagging injury" Lebron we'll likely see the remainder of his time in LA. To expect anything else was really setting ourselves up for disappointment given his age and mileage.

Just manage him properly so he can be the best version of himself in the playoffs. But I'm super disappointed with how much he takes crap 3 pointers, holds the ball, and the offense becomes stagnant. How can a guy this smart not see he's playing like crap? I don't like watching Lebron ball very much tbh. And I don't know if he's willing to change or adapt.

If he doesn't adapt other than launching prayers from deep, I'm not sure I like our chances of overcoming on the biggest stages when it matters most.

 

He has always had another All-Star Wing, man.

Plus the spacing sucks...

But whatever....

 

Did you just call him Robin? Because I just heard Robin.

 

He's old...

 

there's an echo in here

I just keep hearing Robin





Might have to make a Kuzma Batman. He's the only with the skills and the balls to be our Batman right now. The others are Robins whether it's mentality, mileage, age, skill set, or whatever.

 

an oldie, but a goodie

Spoiler: even older, but still true

those are fake balls btw

 

any truth to him re hurting.his groin and being out a significant time? or just false stuff I'm hearing

 

Well he grabbed his balls ..... errrr .... groin area and looked to be in pain on the floor after he took that charge from Beverly in the first quarter. Seemed like it was real. Not talking Kobe stone face here.

 

He's injured. Rest him for the next 2-3 weeks. He settled for a ton of jumpers

 

Lebron 68% from the line this season. 61% in the 4th Q. We need another perimeter scorer.

 

maybe allows the team to use someone they didnt know they had

 

Not my kang

 

absolutely. i think settling for long jumpers is lebron's version of load management. missing fts is mental.

 

How do other players around the league match up? Don't most players also have lesser numbers in these situations?
