At this point, you'd think LeBron is just trying to get Blatt fired by not trying.

And he isn't even hiding it

Didn't Lebron put up 36 last night?

Putting up points makes him look good, not trying on defense makes Blatt look bad.

He hasn't been trying on defense for a couple of seasons now...elite defenders (which is what LeBron is supposed to be) don't give up Finals MVPs to their defensive covers. And it wasn't like Leonard was a top 10 player at that point either. LeBron is overrated on D, IMO.

lol. gmab. Kawhi Leonard was/is one of the emerging young stars in the league. A physical freak. Him winning finals mvp (he did nothing the first 2 games) was about his evolution as a player, not LeBron's lack of defense. Is LeBron playin' d like he did in 2009 or like he did in the '11 conference finals when he made mvp Rose his b****? No. But he's 30 now and has logged well over 40,000 minutes in his career, not to mention 3 Olympics. If you think MJ (you probably do) was playing defense at 30/31 like he did when he was 25 then you're a nut.

Preach.

 

We could isolate players in any game and over analyze every play and take a 5 second clip to make them look bad.

Well, Jordan's age 32 season was the year they won 72. My memories of Mike's defense that season only involve the NBA Finals, where The Glove was supposed to be the guy who slowed him down and then Michael dismantled him on both sides of the ball.

Agree with J4L but man that clip is ridiculous. All that stuff about him bringing a championship attitude to CLE lasted all of 3-4 games. LeBrons such a weird dude.

1996 was actually his worst finals by far. Slightly over 27 ppg on 41.5% from the field and just over 31% from 3 (with a shorter line, mind you). So not sure where you're coming from here. Anyway, point is I've seen at least 10 different posts in this thread calling out LeBron's defense. It's getting silly. As I've pointed out, the guy has been playing 38-40 mpg since he was 18. In the playoffs (158 games), he's at 42.5 mpg. He participated in the '04, '08, and '12 Olympics. At 30, it's a shock to some that he's not playing all-world defense with all of his other responsibilities? I mean, yeah, that clip Kyyle posted was bad. But he can't post that in 1992 or 1998. If he/we could, we'd be able to catch MJ being lazy/sleepwalking/etc on individual plays and make a big deal out of it.

I get that LeBron is older and has a ton mileage. My point still stands, he is no longer an elite defender. If you still think he is (you probably do), then you're a bigger nut than I am.

Can he play DPOY-type D all game, every game as he did from '09 through '13? I'm thinking no. But if *insert name* is going off and you need somebody to cool him off, yes, LeBron is most definitely capable of doing that more times than not.

Dayum, the Hawks are legit.

Korver 6-7 from 3's.

 

Really I think you can make a case for him and Horford to be All-Stars this season.

 

Budenholzer's Offensive System is a thing of beauty ATM, when it's getting executed as well as this.
