KCP heating up is timely... We need Bradly back because apparently, he's our entire defensive identity...
And we need more consistent offense from the rest of our guys to have more flow and balance, and take the weight off AD and LeBron a little.
It really is just LeBron though.
No other team in the top 4 of either conference has a player that when he sits the team starts losing. LeBron is it.
But does that make sense? SHOULD this team automatically start losing when he sits?
I mean he's LeBron... He's at the worst a top 5 player in the league any night of the season... But shouldn't a team with AD on it still be able to win games when he sits?
To me, this smells of poor rotations as much as it does LeBron's greatness... I'm baffled by a lot of the in game adjustments and the combos of players that the coaching staff rolls out there at times...
That said, it also could be indicative of guys who just play much better with LeBron on the court... Whether that's Lebron feeding them or them just feeling more confident when he's out there, who knows...
I'm just saying, this team isn't winning anything if it can't succeed when LeBron sits... They need an identity that allows LeBron to take a night off here and there and still be a formidable team... Because I think we have the talent for that.
