Was uncharacteristicly lazy tonight...I mean he's still LeBron honestly, but got outhustled on a number of plays, allowed himself to be forced into terrible shots in the post, and didn't really force the issue until the waning moments of the game, as if he had $ bet on the Cavs +9.5 or something.

Steve9347 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 There was no drama all season long. Expected outcome was expected. Expected outcome will be the same next year if KD opts in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan99 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Just a horrible NBA season and there is no reason to expect next year to be any different.

Boogua Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 07:54 AM) LeBron just became the first player to average a triple double in the NBA Finals. I knew he was padding his stats the whole last 6 minutes of the fourth, and I was genuinely curious why he passed at the end of the game considering he was just getting layups for a while. Turns out without the last assist he would have averaged 9.8 APG. Homie knows how to do it. Don't get me wrong, he played amazing in the series. He just absolutely pads his stats because he knows how numbers based fans are. Same reason he stopped half court heaves a few years ago when he wanted to shoot 60% from the field for the Heat.

Yeah, that is why I qualified it as was still LeBron...it's difficult for me sometimes to give credit to him as a lot of his production comes from him being just so physically freakish. He gets by a lot on brute strength and size. The officials allow him to just charge into the lane and clear out with his off hand to get to the basket. Don't get me wrong - dude is a crazy gifted athlete and a great basketball mind, but in terms of his effort last night, he wasn't getting back on defense, he was letting smaller guys get rebounds he should have had, he was yelling at others like Kevin Love for not getting back in transition, he refused to go hard to the basket when he was fed the ball in the post in the second half when they needed him, etc. And as Boogua said, finally when the game was out of reach, with about 3 minutes remaining, THEN he decides to take the ball to the basket. THEN he decides to take over for his team. It was a bit of a curious effort from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid post. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why Lebron pads his stats. Most people watching that game would agree with what shack posted. Nobody even said he played poorly or anything.
