    League has been informed. Let's see if there's any change moving forward.

    "If you're the best player take the damn shot". Well they had him bottled up pretty well on that drive and with how they are TYPICALLY not calling fouls on him yet again this season, if he'd not made the shot through all that congestion and/or a foul not have been called then it clearly would have been the WRONG decision on his part. He made the right decision to pass the ball and prior to that to drive the ball to the rim rather than jacking up a long J from outside.

    "Lebron has no reliable mid range/pull up game".

    Seriously "no reliable mid range game"? :clap: :D That is different than a "pull up" after charging his 6'9' 250lb body into traffic. How many times have you come in to bash LeBron and say something to the effect that he never developed many skills? Which is pure nonsense and a freaking joke. You just hate the guy.

    Crazy the defensive impact when he's not even really doing that much exertion there. He'll have some spectacular blocks but he's normally conserving energy. I guess the communication/telling guys where to be. Plus a good offense has teams inbounding after a basket to face a set D instead of destroying us in transition after bricks.

    Yeah, I think what you mentioned in the end is the key. Bad offense leads to bad defense due to transition basketball.
    But it's really crazy those numbers. Hopefully with Rui back and DLo/Reaves starting to come around we can actually play better without him. Wondering if Vando unlocks the non-Lebron quality minutes for the team

    The pass was the right decision .. He showed Cam he trusts him and the team needs him in the long run ... Could help Cam's confidence despite the miss .

    This is a star driven league. If your star has a big hole in his game (if he goes right he's going to the basket/going left he's pulling up), doesn't that make him easier to stop in crunch time? He has just continued working on what he's already good at and not on the holes in his game that could help teams win (to be specific, a pull up jumpshot or reliable post game)

    I have maintained this for a few years...Lebron's individual stat pad success does not correlate to the Lakers team winning success (especially for playoffs)

    And of course you include did not "correlate"/contribute to a championship a couple years ago because that was a "bogus" championship in that the Lakers had advantages in the Bubble and during the time off that NO other teams had.

    lol I wonder why he passed it: 3 white shirts and only him at the top of the key.
    Dude disappears during the playoff run only to show up because lebron didn't force a shot.

    i thought lebron's pass was fine, and i'll live with a wide open corner three (from guy who shoots 40% on those) for the win.

    lebron and AD are both guys that try to make the right basketball play, imo, and sometimes this makes fans mad because kobe and mj sometimes would opt to take tougher shots themselves instead of hitting open guys.

    i was just happy he drove instead of going for the stepback jumper himself.

    this. no issues with passing out for an open look. the problem is reddish being on the floor instead of someone who has a better chance at making that shot

    Have read a number of times in rebuttal (not that I necessarily agree) he is shooting 40% from that corner, plus Ham may(?) be trying for the long game to get his confidence up.

    Cam may be knocking those shots down in practice. He shot 32% from 3 last season, not a sniper, but definitely capable of nailing that shot.
