LABron James Discussion: The Final Year?

i mean, i want lebron gone too......but byron's also a moron

 

Even a broken clock is right at least once a day.

 

We knew Father Time was coming, but who'd have thought it would come this abruptly? He made the All-NBA 2nd Team last year, which means he was a Top 10 player. This year, he can't shoot and his net rating is 12th on the Lakers. I did not expect such a nose dive.

I'd have so much respect for him if he realizes that he's hurting the team and retires. This is getting depressing.

 

He has had excellent stretches, but looks really uninterested most games. I wonder how much is Father Time and how much is pouting.

 

it was great to see some shots fall from him, but i agree with svtzr--it still looked like he didn't want to be there. and he really didn't play that great aside from the three point shooting. he had a couple really nice passes, but some pretty lazy offense and defense, which has become basically standard.

as for the cause, it's probably a mix of age and annoyance.

i still contend that it would be in lebron's best interest to finish this year strong, though, as the story he wants to play out next year is us looking way worse without him and cleveland looking way better with him. if we crater to end the season, the first part will be nearly impossible.
