LeBron James

Dude, he needs to do SOMETHING in the 3rd quarter

He's fresh coming out the locker room, there's no fucking excuses

If he's gonna do nothing then he should check himself out of the game


Nah man. There's no excuse for doing nothing in the 3rd quarter, AGAIN, after what happened last game.

His teammates scored 19 points in the 3rd. He scored 1 point.

There's no defending it.

When the rest of the team shows up for the other 3 quarters, let me know.

Dude has to initiate everything so stop.

The rest of the team isn't the best player in the league

Dude, he can't force the issue if indiana is extending their pressure defense further out to keep him from posting up deep or clear isolations. That's why they got so many TO's in the 3rd last game because Indiana started pressuring right up on them and extending them out towards to the 3pt line. If love and everyone steps up and makes shots, it will make it easier for lebron to get deep post ups or clear iso's just like he did down the stretch of the 4th as soon as Korver starting hitting those 3's.

Was very good at protecting the ball tonight. He had a third quarter lull but he was trying to get Kevin and Kyle going so I can't put too much of it on him, and Kyle really did get going once he actually got looks.

We need him to be closer to 1 TO instead of 7 if we wanna win this series.

 

[Bballguy4]

Pacers were defending him well, tbh.

They were collapsing the defense and have one or two guys near the paint always whenever he was posting up or got switched on to a big. That created lot of open looks and Bron passed to the open men but we bricked.

Once Korver starting hitting few shots in the 4th quarter, the game opened up a lot more for Bron and he could attack. He can't just bamboozle past couple of players consistently like he used to. Has to rely on his jumper.

bingo

LeBron needs to pull the chair on Bogdanovic when he just puts 90% of his body weight on him. It’s ridiculous that Bogdanovic can just lean on him constantly like that and not get called for a foul.

Hope we can do that in the future. I want Hill, Calderon, and Clarkson to do the same with the elite guards and get away with it.

LeBron is being asked about his minutes and he's protecting the hell out of Lue. I thought it was interesting that he mentioned "saving pockets of energy" referencing how they will need him late. This was after he mentioned sticking around in the third due to the teams troubles out of the half but one would think LeBron knowing he will stick around might be why LeBron isn't as engaged in the third quarter. Not blowing past Bog/Turner or posting up Joseph when he was isolated has been perplexing the last few games but LeBron is consciously doing this apparently. That entire thought process or "plan" seems ass backwords and counter productive

I know what you are saying and it would apply to a normal team. A 50 percent LeBron is as good as any player on the floor for the Cavs and it shouldn't be that way. I'm afraid if they rest LeBron his normal minutes they will be down by 20.

 

[King_LebronJames23]

We need to rest him a bit, like before last 4 minutes of 3rd quarter.1 minute start of 4th quarter.
We can play slow paced game in that 5 minute stretch, to limit how much we might lose lead.
Its not logical he is dead come end of game.

It’s taken one game for LBJ to realize the refs are letting the pacers do whatever in the post

Someone needs to tell Love. They will fight you hit you grab you, refs are not calling it. Get used to the playoffs

Not trying to be snarky here and legit asking... how does one pull the chair as the offensive player?

And there's even fewer excuses when he's basically conserving his energy on one end of the floor:

See Bog leaning all his weight into LeBron on the inbounds pass ? Pulling the chair in that case would have been hilarious.

Cavs are 19 Points better defensively with lbj on the floor

Damn, people complaining about him after that?! He's basically the only reason we haven't been swept! Let's see how good we are when he's gone next season.
