Where I'm seeing the most improvement is the actual moves he makes to get himself in position for good shots down there. Much better at that than he was last year, where his go-to move was the fade-away jumper (now he doesn't even take it anymore). So yeah, he's just methodically backs his player down and makes a quick powerful move. Simple and easy.

Been going to the line and making them. Also he's just been feeling it lately so this is the Bron we've been waiting for. I was impressed with the 6 assists in the first 6 minutes more than his scoring efficiency. The streak continues.

Miami put up a 158.1 ORTG with Lebron on the floor tonight. Net On/Off of +17.2 after tonight.

The Heat are gonna dominate the Thunder. Lebron is gonna take a massive lead in the eyes of the media on Thrsday.

How did you get this stat so quickly?

I have the whole thing set up in Excel.

This stretch is just getting silly, It's like he's playing with cheat codes. Sideshow, would you say this is the best ball of his career? 70 TS% over a 15 game stretch is unreal. He's now up to 56.5 FG% and 63.6 TS% on the season.

Thoughts on his athleticism? He's looked as springy as he has all season lately, he's blowing past defenders with regularity. I'm still slightly worried he could hit a brick wall at some point though, he's playing nonstop basketball for 14 months now.

If he keeps this up? I think even that might be an understatement. I knew he'd have his best season this year coming in, as well as make a run at the GOAT season, but this is getting ridiculous. He's making 09 and 10 look tame. Look at the MPG in the last month or so (especially in the last 2 weeks); look at the game-to-game effort level; look at the raw usage. It's not like he's even being ultra-aggressive (which we'll see in the playoffs), he's just refined to the point that he's playing VERY mistake-free and that's the result of playing highly controlled and restrained basketball. Once he opens the floodgates in the postseason, I can't imagine what we could see.

poopdamoop · Post #1453 » by **poopdamoop** » Wed Feb 13, 2013 3:26 am

The most amazing thing about this stretch is that he still looks like he's playing at 80-90%. I feel like he only touched the ball like 6-7 times in the 4th quarter. He could certainly be more aggressive, which I agree we'll see in the playoffs.

SideshowBob · Post #1454 » by **SideshowBob** » Wed Feb 13, 2013 3:37 am

Also, Miami's defensive issues have been masked to an extent by their offensive performance during this run. They've maintained an ORTG of 118.0 in their last 15 (106.6 DRTG) and 122.3 in their last 5 (108.9 DRTG). They've been playing worse on that end than they were before this stretch, but it gets looked over because they're blowing teams out anyway.

Good streak going from Lebron. I wish he would get double teamed though, or have teams gameplan for him. Now teams are just trying to shut down his teammates and saying "Let Lebron try to beat us" and he isn't doing a very good job. Barely beating mediocore teams isn't exactly awe inspiring stuff. Not to mention the lack of defense the past few games. When Jodie Meeks is taking you off the dribble at will, it's time to hit the bench.

I'm much more impressed by Durant's last 6 games. He's drawing doubles off the ball, triple teams on the ball and dominating so much he doesn't need to play in the 4th. And this is with two non scorers starting, the biggest ballhog in the league running point, and the worst coach in the league managing minutes. Insane.

But ya, Lebron has certaily proven he's an allstar.

You are truly the worst poster in the history of RealGM. You should take a bow, considering how many awful ones there have been.

Thanks for assuring me about this. I wasn't quite sure about it.

This is actually kind of a legendary troll post. Between "teams not game planning for him", being much more impressed by Durant during arguably his most underwhelming statistical stretch of the season and the he's proven he's an all-star dig. Well done *tip of the hat*
