LeBron doesn't have a single half-court drive in this game. Not even an attempt. He looks both slow and tired.

His rat ball fetish is worse then anything Vogel has ever done, and part of the reason the team is playing it’s worst ball of the season.

This guy is going to get LeBron hit with a career altering injury playing all of these minutes as an undersized Center.

This is just unbelievable.


That gave me a good laugh lol. Still chuckling as I type this.

You left then but you put flat mediums which were not good before my scissor seven".

What do you take me for, that you treat somebody like me with such contempt?

Russell's good at finding LeBron on the screen n roll. I'll give him that. Nice redemption game from him.

LeBron with 5 straight 30+ point games now. Record for a player who's 35+ in age.

Westbrook has been bad at most things but he’s been good at this. Coming into this game, LeBron was shooting 60.8% on two pointers after passes made by Westbrook.

Also, LeBron’s field goals made unassisted % is current the third lowest of his career, and a lot of that is because of Westbrook.

1. 2020: 71.1% FGs made unassisted (completely unsustainable as LeBron was creating all their offense)
2. 2018: 69.0%
3. 2006: 68.0%
17. 2022: 57.3%

Lebron's putting up February numbers this December.
But in his home dwelling...the hi-top faded warrior is revered. *Smack!* The sound of his palm blocking the basketball... the sound of thousands rising, roaring... the sound of "get that sugar honey iced tea outta here!"

:lol: Not bad for someone who does look relatively slow and tired.

Speaking of tired, 37 year old Bron on 61,000 minutes playing 40 minutes to beat a tanking Rockets team and currently top 3 in mpg. Smh.

adding shooters and rim finishers around lebron has always been the biggest cheat code in basketball since he hit his prime

unfortunately teams or lebron himself dont always construct this way

They need to spam that

Idk y we don’t use it more or Russ picking for Bron even

I wonder if we could do something Wall and EG for Russ, THT and filler

Nunn, Gordon, Ariza, Bron, AD
Wall, Monk, Reaves, Melo, Dwight

Get another backup wing maybe like Kenrich

Watching LeBron James operate an offense with spacing instills more joy than any other basketball-related event.

Broke the record of oldest player with a 30 point table-double (his own).

Has the most 30 point games in the league even though he’s only played 23 games.

27.6 ppg. on 61.8 TS%.

And doing this basically playing an old man game.

He has a legit shot at 40k as he still puts up 25 plus in his sleep.

LOL

Context much. AD without LeBron played some of the worst teams the league had to offer.

LeBron without AD has played better teams with a handful of hardship players and a backup coach.

The numbers… Good stuff.


Against - 0,9 MOV teams in 12 games with AD, without Lebron,
- 0,3 MOV teams in 7 games with Lebron, without AD.
