    He definitely needs to go to the post more. Hoping we use that in the playoffs.

    It’s because he never worked on his footwork. You have to have this to be effective down there.

    He also needs to stop shooting so many threes because he’s not good at it.

    His years are already weighing on him, it's completely logical... Shoots more for three, because he does not have the strength to break through the basket. Аlso, it's important to note that Davis has lower percentages… But LeBron shoots a lot more often…

    When he shoots below the League Average, it’s highly illogical Mr. Spock. As for AD, I’ve been asking for him to completely stop shooting them for the past two years.

    Hopefully LeBron saved a few made 3s for the play in.

    I’m worried he’s going to regress to his average on Tuesday. Hopefully, he’s smart enough to realize his season long average behind the arc is 31% and mixes it up if it’s not falling next game.
    Impressive shooting night, but don’t fall in love with it.

    Nice to see Lebron get his legs back as well as finding his three point shot again.

    We'll need some of that in the playoffs.

    Exactly. Some. He should not take more than 5/6 per game. And…may just be me, but the “crown myself” gestures (2 of them, as if we didn’t all see the first one) just irks me. Pretentious.

    And we know that Dillon Brooks will mock that gesture if the Grizz close us out (if we win to play the Grizz).

    I thought it was a conservative I broke their back gesture twice but whatever …. yeah he’s annoying as **** when he’s in look at ME mode. Which is f****** always.

    :Lebronwhat:

    Yeah YOU!! :rofl: :swear:

    Welp - LeBron is going to be guarded by ANT or Slo-Mo or Prince. ANT is the best defender of those 3, but LeBron should theoretically cook against all 3 guys.

    I hope LeBron does not SETTLE for jumpers in this game. There's zero reason for that. Needs to take it STRAIGHT at KAT and punish him.

    like i said in the AD thread, i'm expecting minny to pack the paint hard precisely because they're a quart low there. it's on our perimeter guys to knock down some shots and make them have to respect us (if we still had westbrook, this is terrifying, btw). but yes, lebron is going to be guarded by a smaller or a weaker player, so if they aren't doubling him in the paint, it needs to be post up city.

    Lebron is going to Lebron..we have too much talent for Minnesota. I expect they will make a game of it, but fade midway through the 4th quarter. This is the stage that Lebron lives for, my only concern with him, is stepping on somebody's foot, things can go sideways pretty quickly if that happens. Now or at anytime in the future.

    We’re at the stage where we have no idea if he will be able to stay healthy enough to play a single series or not. However, it only gets worse from here. This may be his last hurrah.

    That was one of the worst 30/10 games I’ve ever seen. I’m glad we got the win, but god dang, he’s got to clean up those turnovers and at least TRY to stay on his man or we won’t be going very far this playoffs.

    we won tonight in spite of leBron and his empty stats. he's a net negative on the court right now, but he's eating up valuable minutes. But his net rating on the court since his return has been very unbronlike.

    hope his condition improves as play continues, or we probably don't go too far. it's clear Ham won't be sitting him no matter how he's playing.

    50 mil per for 2 more seasons yay
