    I mean he just seems to refuse to go the basket hard even when he gets a step in the 1st quarters nowadays. He's basically playing like a classic Magic Johnson type of PG where he feels his role is to get his other guys going

    Pretty hard to complain about his overall play. Sometimes I think he's assist hunting a little too hard, but when he's focused, he's a handful for anyone.

    I'm highly concerned with a guy that big that has that many miles playing PG for 35 min a night. It just doesn't seem like a good idea, but he's playing fantastic nearly every game. He's breaking the mold. Rarely anyone with that much hype coming out of high school could ever live up to it, much less exceed it. He may be slightly criticized for not being Mike or Kobe in the closing seconds or the killer mentality, but when he's surrounded by the right pieces, he's pretty great at orchestrating.

    A few times this year the ball stuck a little too long in his hands, but after a game off, I think he saw how well the ball moved without him in there, and he adjusted. His memory is unbelievable. Handles himself well.

    And dammit if he didn't draw a foul on Harden with an exaggeration on contact. That was pretty hilarious. I'm super glad he's out of the flopping stage, and I can definitely forgive that one. An undeserved foul was going to be called on that drive, so it might as well have been an offensive one.

    Hilarious to see Harden protest half heartedly when he knows he's usually the one getting away with those tactics.

    What kind of meds are you on that you can handle writing these kinds of things now? Has to be very painful. Falling on a grenade for the LB team. What a guy sirron!

    He's going to pass Kobe soon. Lots of mixed emotions

    Something to keep an eye on



    Either we put 3 shooters around Lebron so there's more driving space and he doesn't have to settle for J's or AD starts demanding the ball and becomes an aggressive scorer.

    it's our achilles heal, and it will get exposed in the playoffs for sure.

    Can we overcome it? its' part of why we need Kuzma to step up and are open to additional pieces/moves

    Every roster has flaws, but can you overcome them on the biggest stage?

    It's an irrational hate, too, especially in LeBron's case from his own team's fans:ADGlance:
