Nuggest vs Cavaliers

Re: Nuggest vs Cavaliers

Sigh some of u forget hes still 18. I agree wit sometimes he looks bored and deosnt have passion but give him time. Its not his fault he never gets the ball from a bunch of selfish players like davis, and miles. James is trying to fit in but has to learn to be aggressive and demand the ball. He needs to shoot at least 16 shots. Carmelo is a scorer and likes to shoot and the nuggets make it a point to get the ball in the post and runs play for him. On a side not Lebron should definitely work on his post game or get one. He shoudl be posting up those poinbt guards.

Re: Nuggest vs Cavaliers

By no means have I forgotten his age. As I have stated earlier, Carmelo is only 19. The difference between the two is that Melo knows how to and is willing to attack defenders, he is very aggresive. Lebron isn't aggresive when it comes to scoring. Bottomline is this, in the NBA Lebron has to realize that he has to be a scorer, I don't think he realizes that yet. Like you said schendeler, and I agree, he has to be more aggresive, and post small players like Magic did. The ball is in his hands most of the time. He needs some of what Melo has. It is not his age that is the problem, it is his perception of the NBA game that is getting in his way, you have to know how to put I in team so to speak to be successful at that level. The great ones do that and you can usually see it in their games early on. I personally don't see that in Lebron's game yet. It is not something that you learn it is something that you are. Maybe Lebron hasn't tapped into it yet or maybe it is those idiots that he plays with, but at any rate I hope he gets it.

Yeah i hope he does get that he has to be aggressive sometimes and take over a game. Hes just an unselfish player and taht can jurt him. But i think after he plays more games and adjusts to his teammtes hell learn the time to be aggressive and take over and the time to set up others. That will come from playing more games and getting more experience in the league.

Re: Nuggest vs Cavaliers

I agree. He will learn with experience but he does have to work on his shot and penetration ability.I think Lebron needs to develop a goto move, like a fadeaway or crossover or something. But like you said he will get it in time, hopefully. I can see where Lebron can be great or just average or a little above average, it is going to depend on how he shapes his game. But I do see him being rookie of the year. At first I thought Melo would get it, but after seeing Lebron, I think that he probably will get it.

Re: Nuggest vs Cavaliers

I'm watching the IND/CLE game right now and Bron has 12 points in the second quarter and playing with a lot of energy. Guess why? It's because he's running the show again just like he did the first two games. And another thing, they MUST get rid of Darius Miles, he does absolutely nothing!!!

Re: Nuggest vs Cavaliers

Agreed completely Toad. He is 6-10 shooting, w/ 12 points, 2 rebs, 2 assists, and is playing with a lot of heart, and most importantly, playing with the ball in his possession, and they are looking good.

Darius is absolutely horrible tonight, and Davis, is playing a little bit more under control, but I still don't like him.
