**** LeBron. Dude saw that we won a couple games and actually look competent without him for the first time since the 90s, walked into the arena last night and said ‘bet’.

Insane, that fade late in the 4th is peak LeBron when he can’t miss.

Lebron looks like a bball god out there.

His numbers aren’t MVP worthy when you consider Luka and Jokic are both pretty much averaging triple doubles, but he’s leading the race for me right now. The team looks ridiculously good, and he’s controlling games like I’ve never seen him do since the middle of his Miami stint. The Cavs were in the game against the defending champs for 42 minutes last night, then LeBron flipped the switch and decided to dominate a top 3 defense.

Glad to see the Nets bounce back from that Cavs series by taking both games against the Heat.

That 4th quarter stretch from Harden was nice to see and was glad to keep the TOs down finally. If they can have more of these defensive performances, they’ll be alright as the season progresses.

I was just gonna write a post about how it's crazy in Year 18 LeBron has become an elite 3 point shooter (41% on 6.6 attempts per game). Then I remembered no fans and it's gotta be having an impact.


This isn't over the course of the whole season like last year but LeBron ranks 50th in 3 point percentage in the whole league right now at 41.2%


That would've ranked 14th last year.

KD stepped in the second half. If they can keep this kind of balance

He'll likely regress back close to his career average (34.5%), but he has shot a high percentage before on solid volume.

He's switched up his form outside and shoots more of a set shot with less elevation. Would have to go back and watch highlights to see when that began.

He is one of if not the best ever because of not just his freakish athleticism, otherworldly IQ, but also his adaptability. It can't said enough how flexible LeBron is with different playing styles, teammates and schemes.

Only other guy I'd put in that category is TD, but even he couldn't carry the offensive load that LBJ has into 18+ years.

Definitely the one thing (as well as poor perimeter shooting) that Giannis needs to really improve. Doesn't help that coach Bud is inflexible, so far this season, with how he uses him and is (again) putting Giannis in a position to lose (in the postseason).

In terms of when his form changed, I think it was his final year back in Cleveland. He changed it after the championship to go more straight up with a flatter arc and I think he’s just been kind of tweaking it for the last three years to fine tune it and he seems as confident in his jumper now as he was when midrange James was dominating in 2012/13.

Adam Silver has to make an example out of Jamal Murray.
