    At this point, it is what it is with him because I can't see it getting any better than what it is, especially that jumper.
    In general it looks worse right now than what it was before.

    I agree with you buy right now past bowling his way into the lane he's out of options other than passing

        He just needs a closer to help him. I guess I feel to be consider the best you should be the closer.

          i don't see it. lebron's perimeter game has regressed and it wasn't great to begin with. the best i see with lebron is around 35 points. cavs need 40 or more and they are not getting it with this dude.

            Crazy at first glance I didn't really see the other Cleveland players and that "What Kobe see's meme" came to mind

              Lebron is the alpha dog on that team.

              He formed it and he runs these cliques doesn't he?

              In contrast, the Warriors hype up the Strength in Numbers thing but they really hang together all the time, especially on road trips.


              Before he was even drafted, Lebron had NBA stars like Antoine Walker trying to be in his clique. So from a young age, he's had all this adulation and was able to dictate what he wanted, especially after he left for Miami.

              That is alpha male behavior, even if he may not be the alpha on the court all the time. But he'll certainly be talking to all the teammates during timeouts.

              He has no reason to but he could become a coach.

                There's no quesiton in my mind that he's a leader and capable of being 'the' guy....he's been that and proven that already IMO

                I do think he's different in that he feels taking a game over can mean doing it as a playmaker as much as it means scoring...which is interpreted as gun shy or uneasy in that situation...which is don't agree with.

                Thats why I found it odd when KD was criticized when he came out in Game 5 of the WCFs clearly trying to assert his will by doing what he does best..scoring...even though he was off...
                I think there's a direct correlation between willingness to take action and skill to do so. No one is more keenly aware of what he can and can't do well than LeBron is. That's the case with all self aware, reasonably intelligent players.

                The fact that he has such a high bbiq means he certainly recognized the position his team was in during last game's 4th quarter. The way he responded was telling. We all saw his game mature and flourish (in spite of him in some cases) in Mia. The skills he's missing now were on display in full effect there. So how do some parts of his game regress back to where they were before he left CLE? Even his free throw shooting is somehow worse.

                Its a strange development and unless he's nursing some undisclosed injury I don't think it's unfair to question whether or not he's still committed to working on those skills. If he's still working as hard on those things as he obviously was in Miami I can't see how he'd be getting worse. It doesn't make sense.

                    The Finals: Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Golden St. Warriors Part 2

                    Hold on...
                    How would James even get suspended? This would be his first tech, flagrant, whatever they decide to call it?

                    Hell its not even an illegal play to step over someone.. That would be ludicrous

                    Edit: just realized it had been discussed and was false.

                      They bet not suspend Draymond for game 5...guess that's what they mean by saying LBJ need help

                          Should've been suspended in okc. No sense in it now.

                              I think they'd win it regardless. Start Iggy. I'am not shocked if he's suspended. He's had too many wierd moments in theses playoffs.

                                Didn't suspend him for OKC also didn't suspend IT or Drummond but now going to suspend him doesn't make sense
