Jesus, AD has been fantastic this quarter. Almost keeping the game in striking distance by himself.

Vogel displayed a pair for a change and benched Rondo after 2 minutes of inept play to start the 4th qtr.
Game totally changed after that with Caruso in. Who'da thunk it.....

Unacceptable jump shooting from LeBron, really. This is just not going to cut it.

With no jump shot he’s just not an effective scorer down the stretch. Defenses have been happy to go under the screen all day on him.

Horford has put the nail in the coffin these last couple minutes.

They might have had a better shot with Lebron out during those last few minutes. He cannot afford to have poor shooting games like this deep in the playoffs.

Re: The Lebron Thread | 19-20 | Pt. 3
Lack of size and athleticism on the perimeter is a serious problem for this team. Simmons and Harris just overwhelmed them, just as other big wings have in earlier matchups. I'm actually more concerned about this than the need for another playmaker.

I guess he’s fully embracing the PG role. He’s just not aggressive in terms of looking his own shots.
Thanks for all the great memories, LeBron! The show must go on! #Heatnation

Pelinka gotta be aggressive on the phones right now. This needs reinforcements in the worst way.

January is always the worst month for lebron's teams. This one has been pretty mild compared to previous ones.

6-31 from 3 is the story of the game. Just not beating teams specially on the road shooting like that

Its basically 2016 all over again. Nothing else matters except his jumper.IG2 wrote:Unacceptable jump shooting from LeBron, really. This is just not going to cut it.
Point-bron is only great against meh defenses. Against the better teams he just doesn't have the pop actually dictate anything out there. And since he's on the ball all the time, he has no feel or comfort attacking from the wings, elbows or in the post. Its all layups and 3's. Whatever mid range game he had is gone now.
You have to go back to 2011 to find a time his scoring arsenal was this thin. There's just nothing there. He shouldn't be initiating this damn much but I fear its too late. They need him to do all the ball-handling but doing so makes it harder for him to score.

VS Butler both times
VS Luka in 3/4 matchups
VS Jokic
VS Harden/Westbrook
Cmon guys. Are we really gonna overreact to a January run for a Lebron team?

Lebron always seems to lose milestone games
