LeBron has zero confidence in his game right now
- Thread starter jadillac
- Start date
That felt like the emptiest 25/13/9 I've seen in a long time.
At no point in the game did it feel like he was asserting his will on Golden State.
I thought down by 2 entering the 4th quarter, he'd go off.
Pretty pathetic for a guy of Lebron's ability.
I thought the refereeing was shyt. I don't know how many times Kyrie got fouled (edit - in the 4th quarter), but it looked like he got hit like 3 or 4 times and it wasn't called.
Varejao didn't do much but his 3 offensive rebounds were big.
Curry had a monster game, finally. But Draymond's motor was arguably the biggest part of Golden State's 2nd half and the win.
JR Smith was 3-10 and I don't even know if he attempted a shot in the 2nd half. Dude seemed to disappear.
Warriors gonna close it out Monday night.

Garbage points...
GS was letting him score at the end. Instead of taking threes, he was worried about his stats.
He really only had about 17, 19 points.

Like against the Mavs, he only shot 3 ft attempts a game in those finals @Miami316
He's shooting 4 this year. When he can't get to the line and has no faith in his jumper. This is what happens.

They're also playing a vastly superior team filled with great defenders. If they ran more post plays for him he might get to the line more, but this cavaliers team is one I think thats built on outside shooting, and doesn't really get to the line much. Him taking and making jumpers would help, but it wouldn't be enough to swing this series. His team isn't good enough to beat golden state. They finished 16 games back in the standings and are outmatched in every matchup on the court and the sidelines.
Bron knows they can't beat the Warriors on the road and have no chance of winning the series. He's playing like this so this finals loss isn't on him....at the end of the day he can say "WE" lost this series. But it's still gonna be on him, doesn't matter what he does.
He tries to avoid blame and ends up getting blamed more. That's the only logical reason for constantly trying to keep his brick shooting teammates involved.

lebron has to be agressive, he sets the tone for his team. game 3 he came out and was 4 of 4 in the 1st quarter and set the tone.
Warriors defense cool but lebron had multiple opportunities for shots he passed up.
Kobe would've had 45 and tea bagged ayesha curry afer the game

Going 1 on 5 is an even worse idea. This isn't the pre zone NBA where that was a viable strategy if you could get matched up on a bad defender.

Lebron might be trying to squeeze these last 5 years out of the league....If he plays like he used to, he won't make it......

He is being way too passive, reminds me of 2011 but with better numbers. Warriors are a great team though but Lebron has showed he can be aggressive with them. He is just choosing not to
stop it, lebron had opportunities to get shots in the lane and he choose to pass the basketball. Maybe if he knew how to play without the ball it would be different
