During these playoffs, he's looked to get everyone involved and tonight he totally scrapped it all. It seemed to me that he wanted to prove he could beat GS by himself and it didnt work. The better team won TONIGHT. This is gonna be a good series.

He wants so badly to be Kobe or Jordan, but he's not

I'm sure that's all on LeBron.

Have you watched these playoffs? He hasn't been getting people involved like normal.

Well other teams were coming with help defense on Lebron allowing him to distribute to open shooters and cutters.

Kerr opted to not help which is why Lebron got his 40+.

Everything changes after you get crossed up. It messes with your mind.

There was nothing wrong with the gameplan. He took a shitty final shot in regulation and disappeared in OT. But they were playing at Golden State, not Minnesota.

He needed to attack the damn rim on that final possession.

Having a coach with absolutely no authority doesn't help either. It's his job to get the entire team involved.

WTF are you talking about Chuck? He nearly averaged a triple double in the Conference Finals. Have you been watching the playoffs...

Because Golden St was playing him straight up with little help side D for the most part. In the other series, defenders would crash when LBJ would drive and he would kick it to the open player.

That's because that's exactly what Golden St game plan was. They threw a lot of guys at him and they were fresh compared to LBJ and took his teammates away from him when he would drive and stuff. And it worked tonight.

Clearly you only follow stat lines. This playoffs hs not been normal Lebron whatsoever. He has been way more of a volume shooter/scorer and less of a distributor

He didn't disappear in OT. He choked in OT.

Went something like 1-10 in OT. He was playing 1 on 1 basketball for most of those and they gave him his one make at the end.

I actually like the Lebron that's a ball hog more than the other Lebron. He's the best player in the world. He should be shooting most the shots. Just next time don't choke.

Yep. Way too much isolation. Lebron was hitting shots tonight, but when you need other players to contribute late he's effectively taken them out of the game and turned them into stand still players. If they have any chance of winning they will need to share he ball and get big contributions from role players like they have throughout the playoffs...and even then I don't think it will be enough. Golden state is just the better team I'm afraid.

But I'm rooting for the cavs even though I think they win at most 2 games, and might get swept.

Are Yall serious? Do Yall watch? This years playoffs LeBron's efficiency has been shite compared to what he normally is. He has not been the normal Lebron this whole playoffs.
