LABron James Discussion: Are The Wheels Falling Off?

Games aren't scheduled but we should have 2 more games in that stretch.
QF and SF of the NBA Cup counts towards the regular season so every team has 2 less games scheduled until the group stage is over, meaning that we will play against 2 teams in the West that haven't qualified.

I've also noticed that you can manipulate the NBA Cup to your advantage. Not qualifying means you play these 2 games against non-qualified teams vs playing against 2 top4 teams in the West if you qualify in the group stage, which should be good teams if they've qualified.

In a daunting West and us being a team that need every win to stay out of the play-in, it's good to miss the QF of the NBA Cup.
Hopefully we get Utah and Portland lol

 

oh yeah, i forgot. too bad. lebron and AD need the rest.

 

Time for trade

 

It IS early. Olympic hangover too I’d suspect with the legs. And all the young muscled bucks are teeing off on him.

 

If this is the version of Bron we should expect going forward, I'm not even sure I want any trades sacrificing the future for the present.

 

James seems to be hitting his annual 3pt shooting funk a bit early. 27 pts and 14 assits, doesn't exactly scream out washed by any means tho .

 

JJ needs to manage his minutes, and we need a valid backup.

Managing his final years we knew would never be a piece of cake. But if we are being objective, winning at the highest level is probably not very realistic.

 

Why not? We are only a couple of moves away right now. What we need to do, is lighten some of the regular season load on him, so he will still have gas left in the tank in the playoffs. AD too to a lesser extent.

 

3 ball went full Casper on him. He's basically doubling the attempts trying to fix it, so tonight we can expect 18 three point attempts from him.

Shots from inside there was much better tonight -- 63%.

Did a better, more focused job captaining the ship. Not nearly as sloppy as a few of the other recent games. 3 TOs. One of those was a no call kicked ball, so only 2 real TOs.

Speaking of officiating. That run of 4 awful no calls on him in a 2 minute span. Criminal! He shouldn't have quit on D , but that was unacceptable from the zebras.

 

ok

 

worst game of the season

time to start managing his minutes because it's obvious he's tired out there

 

He's not going to miss game at Miami
Maybe in Atlanta and it's not b2b

 

LeDecline.

 

The new Brick

 

4 last matches 0 out of 19 from 3. LeBron overtakes Korver...

 

Still my favorite player

 

He’s clearly struggling but I don’t think it should be a surprise to the team given his age. Definitely time to start managing his minutes and games played.
