Saw this coming for LeBron tbh. Long rests don’t bode well for him at this age.

Just blew 4 bunnies in a row in the paint. He definitely ain't right.

Good lord is it good to finally have a high volume 3pt shooter on this team. Just makes the games so much easier.

3-14 he should stop shooting

The ASG came after a 3 day rest and he looked great in it. This game is coming after 3 days off too. Don't think it's the time off.

He's missing shots he normally makes. Lack of burst/lift in the paint mostly.

So much easier for this team to rattle off runs now because they can get stops and have NBA-level spacing on the floor.

This team has multiple defensive units that can also shoot. In the last two games that they have played with LeBron, you’ve had some poor shooting and now LeBron playing poorly, bu5 you’ve had multiple 10 point runs. If LeBron gets himself into playoff shape, and Davis plays anything like you did earlier, this is a very very dangerous team.

I don’t think using the ASG as a marker is wise.

4/18 so far and the team still looks capable

Just referring to how he was moving in that game.

They cannot rebound to save their life in this game. Only reason this isn't a 20+ point game.

Don't remember the last time him shooting so badly on a this volume

Who was it that said LeBron was the “limited center whisperer”? :lol:

This might be the first time I’ve ever seen Bamba actually make multiple rotations correctly and confidently and get into defensive positioning. He’s also making three-pointers. Imagine if they turned this guy around, got him into shape…what an absolute steal he would be. The tears would be glorious LMAO

He usually stops putting up shots. Doncic, Giannis, Embiid, etc., can have trash nights but will also get like 15 FTs to make up for it.

5/20 (25%) rn. Hasn't shot <30% since April 1st 2018 versus the Mavericks by my count

Haven't checked other stars but that feels impressive

Y'all were not kidding about how potent Bron can be with shooters. Him and AD shot awful, played below 30 min, and still blew em out. Wow.

This has been a noticeable trend too, being a momentum player and having rough “first games back”. Can’t really complain whatsoever given the score. In fact, I’m very thrilled that we can afford a quiet night from James/Davis and still be up 20+ points.

Pre-trade - 0 games under 30 minutes.
Post-trade - 2 games under 30 minutes (in 2 games).
