    STOP with the Threes! It’s especially embarrassing in juxtaposition with what the Dubbs entire team can do from there.
    Please just stop. It’s not smart basketball.

    I’m still banking that this is injury-related versus age. He was defying mankind prior to breaking the scoring record.

    He played 40 minutes and both him AD ran out of the gas.

    Outside of the 3's, Lebron was very good. Don't think with the foot he can shoot that 3 consistently particularly if he is gassed. The problem is the zone - that takes away the post and mid range where he was very effective

    He should stop taking the threes, but he won’t. He’s trying to shoot himself out of it, and he’s clearly not right and can’t just blow by guys most of the time. I do agree that the adjustment would be to get closer to the post, but we’ll see, don’t know if he’ll do it. Also lol

    Wish LeBron had a post or even mid-post game. He really could be effective down there with his bully ball.

    I still very much dislike how he’s so horrendous at FTs almost 2 decades in…

    I get the 3s. You’ve never really been a shooter. But damn, the FTs, it’s seemingly always going to be a make one, miss one, with him.

    SOLID defense though. You can tell he was getting after it and the blocks were very NICE. He was securing the ball too when going for rebounds in crunch.

    Lebron is in hibernation after being poked.

    Played fairly well, other than the massive amount of bricked threes.

    He's done it all year too, blows our leads because he insists on chucking. If he'd just focus on working the ball inside or attack the rim we wouldn't have so many blown leads.

    He does have that game but for some reason doesn't do it every game.

    It's annoying. Must be fatigue related because he's so effective inside the ark in general.

    He could not close. Missed a bunny, 3s, a FT, and traveled (would have been blocked anyway). Had AR and Dennis open every time. We are “witnessing” Father Time catching up.

    He NEVER plays well in the 4th when he plays the entire 12 minutes. Ham needs to pull him at some point to get him a 3-4 minute breather. Old man just doesn't have the stamina. Rui could have came in when we had a 14 point lead.

    Looking back would have been a good time for a quick 1 to 2 minute breather for James and AD. It's not like it could have gone worse lol.

    This was the story of the game for James.
