LABron James Discussion: Olympics MVP

So I guess Ham listened and we're back to point Bron now? I know when it's do or die, ball is going to be in his hands. In the playoffs, he's going to be running the offense. But in game 3 against one of the fastest teams who just pours it on offensively, we're using him as the point? What is the point of DLO, Gabe, and Austin? It's not to shoot or contribute anything offensively (I'll acknowledge that DLO finally found his game late in the 4th), least they could do is bring the ball to half court for Bron.

I thought it took him some time to get engaged, but he should not have to do this much or play this many minutes. Good final line



I'm assuming he sits tomorrow.

 

What are they supposed to do till Reaves gets his legs back? The hope for this season was based on the end of last season where Reaves was playing like an All-star.

You lose Schroeder and replace him with a guy who can't really create and D-Lo is D-lo.

Hopefully Reaves will kick into gear soon and his minutes will come down

 

Awful first half. The missed free throws and bad chucks to end the half killed the momentum we were building closing the lead.

 

Really surprised Bron is probable on a back to back following an overtime game where he played 39 minutes.

He must really want to avoid that uphill climb that was last season.

 

LeBron isn't load managing yet
Expected to play Monday

 

That’s

 

Photoshopped?

 

LeBron denier.

 

I'd rather see Lebron sit this one out. I don't want to hear any excuses Wednesday night!!! Give these other guys some burn, let Rui and Christian get 25 min plus a piece.

 

Rui’s out …. lost an eye.

 

Damn..Orlando plays a lot of young bigs..this was a good game to let Hachimura and Wood cook a little. I'm not hating on Lebron at all here but, I hope he doesn't play 40 minutes tonight, and then sit out Wednesday night, due to ankle soreness or "rest".

 

Dribble Dribble Dribble Chuck

 

Yeah I hate that ish but at least he made 1-2 on those hero threes at the end. It could have been worse.

Overall bad game for him. I'll cut him some slack since he's 39 playing heavy minutes on a back to back. Chill on the turnovers though.

 

We CANNOT resort to LeBron iso ball like we have last few years esp in Year 21!

Please get the ball out of Bron's hands in the clutch because he almost always wants to take those hero ball 3's.

Yes, he made one tonight - but no more of that please. That's exactly what the opposition is hoping he'll do at this point

 

Or dribble dribble dribble pass with 2s left on the shotclock

 

Coach Bum should try DLO exclusively handle the ball for a few games even in the clutch

 

right. nobody wants to see him go to the hoop like he did against phx to get the win. EVERYBODY wants to see him handle out top for full possessions. like, there's not a team that wouldn't choose that option every single time.

yeah, i'd rather a turnover trying to get into the paint than either of these other options (and i agree the turnovers are a problem).
