LeBron James Discussion: Not Returning To The Lakers

Good second half. I think he is getting fatigued especially playing at this pace.

 

40 million a year for the next 4 years, and it's not going to get better. Why am I not as thrilled as some Lakers fans?

 

Yeah he blew it in the clutch.. That's on him.. But 32/14/8 & he's the main reason we even got into OT in the first place.

 

And so it begins ......

 

That 3 to send it to overtime was ballsy.

 

It was. ISO ball stopping a-la Lance-from-2-games-ago wasn't.

It was bad bad basketball. Bron pounding the ball for 10 seconds.

I hated every second of it. I thought it was the lowlights of the otherwise inspiring 4th. Mostly by Hart, Kuz, Williams and Svi (a little).

 

Yeah too much of that and we definitely need more cutting as he can hit guys if they get open. Kuz and Hart and Ball and McGee and Rondo all get that and hopefully the machine starts running more smoothly soon. Once KCP is out of the starting lineup.

 

All eyes on an aging Lebron who's struggled to close quite a few games in his career. No surprises so far, we've seen this from him often..

Was hoping for a clean start where our athleticism could shine and Lebron could get the team off to some solid starts.. no dice. It's sad we could easily be 2-1 right now with a small amount of cooperation. Was really hoping to catch a few clubs off balance with this new roster and grab a couple extra wins in this first 5-10 games where the odds were stacked against us. This club won't fully jive for quite a while.

Time to slow the game and control tempo and figure out a way to play some defense... they aren't going to win from 90% offense 10% defense that's clear...

Going to remain positive and hope they get this under control.. it's early, if the west wasn't so stacked this wouldn't be so important... but every game counts these days. 0-3 sure feels bad.

 

3. He was fouled so many times without the call, he just chucked it.

 

His biggest "mistake" down the stretch was turning down the wide open 3 on the left wing to take a contested corner 3 ....

 

Because you’re a realist and not blinded by Lebronmania

 

Not getting a pass.

 

Yeah... it felt "empty" to me. I know he sent the game to OT with a very nice shot, but I'd much rather see him battle throughout.

You want to ease off to let the kids play while you are coasting on O? Fine. Play some damn D then.

He had a nice game, but it felt short, because he didn't want it enough. This is how it SEEMED to me.

 

We played the Spurs,the Rockets and Portland in our first 3 games,everyone was close. Its are first 3 games.

 

kobe missed his fair share of game winners but he never missed ft's in the clutch.

still have to give props for that 3 to send it to OT but cmon man at least make 1-2 fts

 

It didn’t go our way but I thought Lebron bounced back well after a slow start.

Hated the last shot and the missed free throws.

I’d actually like to see him kick it up a notch and takeover sooner rather than when we get in these holes.

Overall, he’s the least of our problems on the floor right now.

 

Precisely.
