LeBron James

[FrontPageNews]

Part of me cant wait until he’s gone so we can just rebuild this thing and hopefully join the rest of this team in the new ball movement era. I appreciate all he’s done for us but this isn’t sustainable. Hopefully lues out the second Lebron is.

At this point in the season every game is part of the ongoing LeBron-Gilbert negotiations.

The give-away was on the play where LeBron looked towards Green who was wide open under the basket, with the defenders pivoting away from him to rush the passing lane in between LeBron and Love.

Bron looked towards Green, almost instinctively started a motion to pass it to him, but controlled himself just enough to pause, pick his head up, and fire the ball directly into the passing lane to Kev that he could clearly see being jumped by Aaron Gordon. A dunk by Green would have been a big blow to the Magic...and Bron made sure they got a fastbreak opportunity instead.

He did it on PURPOSE.

YES! That was the play! That's a play he makes in his sleep and has to actively try to throw it to where he did.

It was one of the most egregious things I've ever seen, and nothing will happen to him.

You have to sit him down for a week or so.

Fire Lue. Trade TT + Shump.

Retool & Regroup.

He has written the script to leave - he stated the other day that he did not want the team to trade Kyrie - did not get talented players in return for Kyrie - refused to upgrade the team with their best asset the BKN pick. Three strikes your out. What else could he do but leave.

He's averaging 36.9 minutes per game. Third in the league, half a minute behind league leader Giannis. He's also a decade older than Giannis.

He's not purposely losing games, he's just physically and mentally exhausted and it shows. Nothing in his career suggests he'd throw games. (The conspiracy theory that he is losing games because he wants Lue fired for Fizdale is Alex Jones level bonkers)

LeBron has the most amazing stretch a 32 year old has had in NBA history...

Just going from the playoffs till about 2 weeks ago (more so around his birthday)

Bad start to January and LOL

I usually hate when other boards clown Cavs fans behavior in regards to LeBron (the mood swings *which ironically he has too*), but damn are they are right on.

This has been going on since he came back. Rinse and Repeat.

No

No

You make an excellent point. I'll reconsider my stance.

He's been throwing games for almost a decade now. This is nothing new.

I'd believe this, and very much would like to, were it not for the agenda comment Lue made recently. Also, LeBron was playing the same minutes during the streak when he was making great plays and looking fantastic for entire games. Age doesn't just magically hit someone within a month. It's not like he gained ten years of age from the streak to now.

There's sadly lots of crap going on behind the scenes right now, and tonight made that very clear.

Shhh let them talk. They'll act like they never said such things come playoffs. Just skim this entire thread every Dec/Jan 2014-2015, 2015-16, 2016-2017.....and then look at the posts months later.

Just take the time to do so. Its always good for laugh.

Just shocked we're going back to the 2015 purposely tank games to fire the coach talk.

The reaction is baffling to me. I really just don't understand it. He was playing otherworldly up until about two weeks ago. He has a bad stretch that coincides with our injured pieces coming back and the takes become scorching hot.

I'm totally good with criticizing his play because he hasn't been good lately. But damn, lol.

I'd hate to see the reactions if he wasn't averaging 33/12/9 the last 3 NBA finals.

I assumed after the championship things would let up, but nah...same ole same ole. Its frustrating to see his play dip, but it is what it is with older LeBron around this time of the year.
