Lebron hasn't played defense in a long time
- Thread starter acbjr22

lebron has more minutes on his legs at 32 (soon to be 33) than probably anyone who has ever played in the nba. You can't expect him to score 25-30 a game play 35-37 mpg and play lockdown d
and who else will score?
lebron is playing 38mpg at 32
a guy like kevin durant hasn't played that many minutes since 2013

Is this a joke? They've got plenty of scorers. The one thing they don't have is plenty of defenders.
LeBron right now reminds me of Kobe around 2012-13. He's still a top player and the numbers he puts up are amazing but when you watch him you can tell that there's an element of completeness that's missing from his game. Kobe was the same way around that time period
Coincidentally both were on subpar teams at that point in their careers...or is that a coincidence?

The Cavs defense so far is straight 
.

Try to spread it out. I dunno because I think the team is literally only put together to try to beat the Warriors in a 7 game series and they were literally hoping to just Lebron their way through the East.
Prayers that Wade can turn back the hands of time and make big time plays if they get to the finals, use Jeff Green/Rose to counteract the Livingston/Iggy combo off the beach, Jae Crowder sacrificing his life to guard Durant (Which is his only reason for existing), and IT for the explosive scoring potential to pair with Lebron's steady offensive output.
But it was hastily put together and they didn't think the East would improve as much as it did. Shocking as it may seem but the East had some sleepers in the ranks and Kyrie's decision made other teams/players realize that this was theur chance to end his reign.

bron needs more help
Which is why I've been saying for the longest that he needs to embrace a proper system.
Agreed 100%. The current system is basically just Bron drive and kicks or him passing from the post. One of his biggest mistakes was not buying into the Blatt system at all.

I don't understand this. Bron is the leader yet is such a bad example in many ways. Half ass defense is contagious and when your Star don't try, no one does. Reminds me of a couple years ago when he wasn't even trying to get back on defense during transitions/uncalled fouls. The team sees that stuff man.
Ultimately I think GS and CLE realize it's a long season and a lot of this shyt don't matter to their end goal: getting to the finals and winning.

He ain’t gonna admit it but he’s getting worn down. He may still put up great numbers and win chips with whatever team but in terms of his ability to dominate individually in all aspects of the game. His peak was in miami.
shocking hes about to be 33 and been in the league for 15 years,
lebron will finish this season in the top 20 for minutes played in a nba career and hes only about to be 33
most individuals who have took that pounding played that many minutes and years would be playing like 30mpg in a reduced role
