LABron James Discussion: Draymond James

some of these old guys just have nothing better to do than complain

didn't michael cooper criticize lebron for eating fruit on the bench during a preseason game last year?

 

Isaiah needs to walk that back and just point out that he misunderstood reality. This actually pisses me off almost as much as every other piece of BS that has ever been associated with him. What a A**hat!!!

 

No kidding!

 

Any news on LeBron's injury the other ?

 

Damn slacker. Needs to get those 3s and assists up.

 

Is he number 1 in TO’s though?

 

It turns out LeBron is in first place for all-time playoff turnovers with 1034 turnovers

coming in second place is Magic Johnson with 696 turnovers

some records will never be broken lol

 

LebronBrick??

 

BTW does LeBron really think that coach isn't important for playoffs after 22 seasons in his career

While James acknowledged that both health and playing well to end the season both contribute to potential playoff success, he admitted that it really just comes down to execution on the court and ultimately just playing the game in front of you.

“You want to be healthy going into a postseason run, that’s most important. And then you want to be, other than playing at a high level for the majority of the season, in must win games doing down the stretch, playoff intensity games, and we had that,” James said.

“But at the end of the day. . .the game is won between the four lines,” James continued. “I don’t give a damn how much you know about a team, how much they know about you, all the talking, it’s not about that. It’s about, once you get on the floor, the game is won between the four lines. You get a game plan, you’re going to execute it, they’re gonna try to stop our game plan and vice versa. That’s what it comes down to.”

The Lakers come into their series against the Timberwolves having split the regular season at two games apiece. The last time these two teams met in the postseason was the 2023 play-in when the Lakers grabbed the No. 7 seed. The last time they actually squared off in the playoffs was the 2004 Western Conference Finals

 

he’s 40 , the end is truly near, let’s have one last magical run. Give it all you got, old man

 

The missed 3s were brutal. Most of them were makeable. Caused the defense to be able to collapse and more possessions for Min

 

Standing around watching Luka, and picking your spots, on when to get engaged, that didn't work out for him yesterday. I suspect that he will come out more aggressive early, in the next game.

 

He needs to stop trying to attack Gobert on switches. He's at a point in his career now where that's no longer an easy matchup advantage. Conley, NAW, and DiVincenzo are the guys he needs to be hunting if we're playing the mismatch hunt game.

 

It reminded of the game in Boston where he stopped targeting White to wrongly go at Hordford .

Pete of the LFR podcast said Bron was 60 points per 100 possessions better when attacking a small vs attacking a big over a 12 games sample

 

I feel like the switch onto a small guard is easy money for him. Not sure why he’s trying to blow passed a big when he can jsut take people into the post and over power them.

 

plus he's a great passer out of the post. when they switch a center onto him, he needs to just camp out weakside and be ready to shoot the open three or attack the closeout instead of trying to beat guys straight off the dribble. that's just not his game anymore.

 

I expect a better tonight.... Be the King we need bro!
