That pass to Love. Wow.

The execution and strength needed to get that thing to pop up from such a low angle. Impressive.

Great 1st quarter indeed. He has showed us he's still at great level at times this season, I hope he can start sustaining this kind of play.

Btw is it just me or are you also noticing LeBron is getting more friendly whistles now than he ever did with the Heat? Not in all games, but against Orlando and today I certainly felt that way. Hope refs keep giving him those foul shots, because I think people got away with a ton of things against LeBron in the last years.

I think fouls effect him more now. I think last year he finished a flagrant and 1. I don't remember his last and 1 this year.

Charges down the court makes the pass to the corner have the momentum carry him out of bounds and still the first one back to get the offensive foul.

What is happening?

Could Lebron actually be trying???? What is this!

Great pass after great pass after great pass. This is Magic like! Absolutely great 1st half from LeBron with his playmaking. The 6 assists don't even speak for half of his performance.

JLei · Post #1665 » by **JLei** » Thu Nov 27, 2014 1:06 am

Whoa! Not a crazy amount lift but as explosive of a drive he's had all year. Damn. Complete blow by.

Greatness · Post #1666 » by **Greatness** » Thu Nov 27, 2014 1:08 am

The most explosive play he's had so far.

2 more FT assists as well. I think Lebron's is top 7-10 in FT assists so far this year at like 1.4 or something (mostly to Varejao).

Holy **** that explosion. Caught me so off guard.

Naw, he did a few times especially once he was comfortably below the 60% mark. I remember after he was out of the MVP race he was taking end of quarter 3s without hesitation.

I don't if they were heaves but they were the half-court shots or very far behind the 3point line where they were clearly those end of quarter shots which a lot of players don't like to take anymore and they basically had no chance of going in.

First time I think I saw Love finally just shoot the 3 from a Lebron pass. No pump fake haha.

No excuse now. If you're watching it, you remember his last and 1

MisterHibachi · Post #1675 » by **MisterHibachi** » Thu Nov 27, 2014 1:55 am

17 free throw attempts on the night so far.

PCProductions · Post #1676 » by **PCProductions** » Thu Nov 27, 2014 2:05 am

Lebron getting to the line. Always a recipe for success.

WinisKing · Post #1677 » by **WinisKing** » Thu Nov 27, 2014 2:10 am

Tonight his activity level looked liked the 08-09 Lebron

SideshowBob · Post #1678 » by **SideshowBob** » Thu Nov 27, 2014 2:10 am

His rotations tonight! That lane/rim coverage is as good as it gets.

MisterHibachi · Post #1679 » by **MisterHibachi** » Thu Nov 27, 2014 2:13 am

Looking like 12 LeBron on defense and 14 LeBron on offense tonight.

If only he could keep this up for an entire season + playoffs. Goat peak.

Perhaps we are little too high off of two games, but I don't think Lebron's impact level has declined at all, and once Cavs figures out their identity, hes right back to the unanimous MVP we all are accustomed to seeing. Tonight was a wonderful display of getting teammates involved and putting pressure on the Wizards D and keeping them honest. I have a feeling is the boats sails right, this is going to be his new peak.
