Re: The LeBron James - 21-22 Regular Season Thread
LeBron is going to spend the entire season get zero FTs, the worst shot attempts, no creation because apparently that’s Westbrook’s job now, and no rebounds to initiate fruitful fast breaks since apparently this Westbrook as well.
On another note, have been super impressed with Mobley this first few games.

Haven't seen much of him before today but he looks very polished for a rookie big.

I don’t even like watching this Lakers team play because Westbrook is so bad. He’s going to ruin LeBron’s last few years with his disgusting brand of basketball.

The number of players I actively dislike watching on this team is unprecedented.
Westbrook, Melo, DAJ, Rondo... Yuck.

The chemistry (lack of) is something to behold in this 1st qtr
I know they'll try to force their way through this, but I don't see LeBron/Westbrook ever working on the court together. Rob Pelinka basically threw the season away with that move.

This team is so poorly constructed that I haven’t even mentioned Rondo once (I don’t think) after annoying all of you with how much I trashed him in 2019/2020 lol.

Re: The LeBron James - 21-22 Regular Season Thread
Nice 13-0 Cavs run there after James went to the bench. 
10 turnovers, 7 offensive rebounds given up.
Rondo is better than Westbrook—it’s that bad.

To field a legal basketball team for a few minutes? That's my best guess

Imagine going from Caruso and KCP on the perimeter to this tomfoolery.

For all his faults, at least Rondo doesn’t Chuck up a gazillion shots like Westbrook does. Rondo can also hit an open three. When you have a guy throw up 18 shots a game with a TS% of 45% you aren’t winning a dang thing.

Melo is making Markkanen look like prime Dirk out here.

Re: The LeBron James - 21-22 Regular Season Thread
This team needs to turn into the 2017 Cavs on offense to compensate for this defense, and unfortunately Lue is not coaching the offense.
Honestly, even though the roster isn't really his fault, if Vogel can't fix the defense, he's not a good enough offensive coach to keep him on. He's coaching for his job over the next couple of months.

gotta break down that entire stretch after the game. He caused breakdowns on literally every possession. This is the worst defensive stretch I've seen from a player since Harrell against the Mavs in 20
