The Lebron Thread (2015-16 Pt. 3)

Good news is Lebron is scoring easily or collapsing the D.

Bad news is defensively they've been a step slow. Can't allow Curry to get 2 no dribble 3s. Also going high side of the screen. Can't do that Kyrie.

Awful D from the Cavs. Lebron is really gonna have to shore that up in order to stand a chance.

He got fouled, but he has always been an awful finisher off offensive rebounds. Never really understood why.

Well Golden State bench made some flukey shots and they are up. Bodes well for them they are positive these minutes.

Love cant draw fouls against good teams for whatever reason, still gets hacked all the time

Lead increased with Curry on the bench and LeBron on the floor. Looking like a sweep.

Definitely danger time for the Cavs. Feels like this thing is about to slip away.

IG2 · Post #770 » by **IG2** » Fri Jun 3, 2016 1:59 am

Uhhh, can he please stop posting up from the left block? He can't do anything from there. No go-to shot.

IG2 · Post #771 » by **IG2** » Fri Jun 3, 2016 2:03 am

Too many plays where he's turning his back to the basket.

JLei · Post #772 » by **JLei** » Fri Jun 3, 2016 2:05 am

This is the hardest I've seen him play in a year.

Amazing D on Curry. He never plays way up on anyone like that. Keeping Steph in front and amazing contests.

Outstanding defense on Curry when switched onto him. Unfortunately Warriors were able to get putbacks both times.

Lebron really has a GOAT level man-to-man defense, at least it feels like that.

toodles23 · Post #775 » by **toodles23** » Fri Jun 3, 2016 2:09 am

Lebron's expending a ridiculous amount of energy in this half. Hopefully he has something left late, assuming it's still a game at that point.

He had two tremendous defensive stops on Curry, yet both times his teammates let the Dubs get a putback. Must be so frustrating.

JLei · Post #776 » by **JLei** » Fri Jun 3, 2016 2:13 am

8 rebounds too. Besides that random bench run that was a bunch of fluke shots they are in this due to Bron's 2 way play. Gotta make some shots though.

Basileus777 · Post #777 » by **Basileus777** » Fri Jun 3, 2016 2:15 am

Yeah, LeBron's energy has to be a real concern, especially since Lue is probably going to have him play heavy minutes this series. He's done well on Curry, but asking him to do that for more than a few possessions would be a real indictment of his teammates.

toodles23 · Post #778 » by **toodles23** » Fri Jun 3, 2016 2:17 am

I want to say they should go to the Kyrie + Bron pnr with Bron as the screener in the 2nd half, but that's only if Kyrie takes his blinders off like game 6 vs. Toronto.

ppedro123 · Post #779 » by **ppedro123** » Fri Jun 3, 2016 2:17 am

Outside of LeBron and delly , Cleveland has zero good defensive players

tone wone · Post #780 » by **tone wone** » Fri Jun 3, 2016 2:18 am

I don't like him trying to post up against Iggy. Its not an advantage....face up and drive at least.

Man I wish he still had his jab-step jumper
