The Lebron '20 Thread (Pt. 5)

[TheGOATRises007]

LeBron’s scoring is concerning but the Lakers are up 30 points with lebron only having 10 points, so I’m going to happy for now. This wouldn’t happen in Cleveland.

Lebron will definitely have to up his scoring vs the Rockets.

This could end up being LeBron's toughest scoring series. The rest of their likely path in the western conference doesn't have rim protection like the Blazers, and he's going to get his legs back the further they go.

You think he can iso against Houston or Clippers?

I still think he can get by any wing he wants (and that ability should improve the longer they play), and he's bigger than basically anyone that would guard him. Houston has no rim protection and won't bother him when he gets to the rim and same with the Clippers unless Zubac is playing (and there are other ways to play him off the floor). I could be wrong but that's what I'm thinking.

I love JR but what has he done to get minutes over Dion?

I mean what has Dion done to deserve minutes?

[Mos_Heat]

People in this thread were overreacting too much on AD.

There were posts on how they wouldn't be significantly worse with Bam instead of AD.

I stand by it

LOL thats a really bad take. Davis has his issues but Bam?

Eh, so be it. I think Davis is overrated, somewhat like PG

at least he knows how to make an entry pass to lebron in less than like 5 seconds

It's garbage time.

Wonder how the lakers would do if they were facing real defenses like those in the east.

He is generally overrated but hes still alot better than Bam specially offensively.

Why doesn't Lebron go back to shoot around? Legit no reason not to

Cmon man

For a guy who prides himself on work ethic, its not all about physical workouts and staying in shape

Kieff keeps bricking. Why are we playing him so much? Cuz of the matchup? Rather Dion play more

For sure, and I expect that he will. Lebron is weird strategically in the playoffs sometimes, so I wonder how much of this is inability to score and how much of it is him trying to build up his teammates and get them ready.

He can't even do it vs Trent now though.

The idea that a two way big can be overrated is hilarious. Basketball fans care about ppg, not defense.

Can dribble

Lebron's very lucky to be playing in a conference where no one''s got good rim protectors but his own team.

Ppg is what drives the Anthony Davis hype though.

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

So at first he was at the conference with the best defenses....the conference was weak

So now he is in one of the most stacked western conferences of all time....no rim protectors

PATHETIC BUDDY

Why are you putting other people's words in my mouth. I have Lebron as the goat largely based on his ability to decimate elite-atf defences defenses way past his prime.

Doesn't change that the east is much better now than it was when he was there. Nurse becoming the best nba coach, the sixers ascension, and giannis rising, bam, ect, completely changed the conference.

When healthy, the sixers, the raptors, and the bucks defensive cieling far outstrips anyone in the west.

Not as much as it would drive the vast majority of superstars. So he would stll be underrated relative to guys like kd, harden, kawhi, ect.

Curry and Lebron kinda are mitigated with creation being horrifically underrated, but comapred to everyone else, ad's prolly underrated if anything
