Just follow the headband on back to back plays to see why he's the GOAT

Lebron is an excellent defender 99.9% of the time, but having said that, I can admit that he looked like James Harden in that first .gif

Holy shite. He's practically square dancing in the first one.

Safe to say his D in these gifs is "lackluster?"

Him tired from carrying the team on his back.

I'm not a LJ fanboy, but the Spurs can make any good defender look mediocre.

Unfortunately Durant pulled this shite too vs the Spurs and they consistently went after him because of it.

In his defense, he was probably worn out from playing out of his mind with Russ out in the 2nd half of the season coupled with the fact that OKC had to go through the damn gauntlet of Memphis, LAC, and the Spurs in the playoffs. KD clearly ran out of gas.

That's what happens when you need two other superstars to win a championship. You have no money left for a bench.

First one looks bad, but then again it's one play out of 140 possessions?

The second one actually wasn't terrible defense. He was set up to keep Splitter from driving and then collapsed on the 3 point shooter and put his arms up.

The rest of the Heat players that were ever on the floor need to get scalded too.

Open looks, layups, shots in rhythm, and drives going to their favorable hand were predominant last night.

I feel like he could have picked that pass off...I don't know, it's hard to tell.

1st gif looked like Harden on D.

But the Heat overall looked disinterested. Definitely didn't expect this kind of game from them.

He got duped in the first one. The second one was just poor effort. At least put your arms up.

I don't really have a problem with LeBron's defense in the first gif.

He was guarding Leonard on that one and he didn't want to leave him wide open in the corner, (remember he was on fire at that point). Looks like he was cheating down low to defend the initial baseline drive but he passed the ball instead of shooting.

If anyone played shitty defense, look no further than Ray Allen and his "two hand shove to the back" defense on Manu as he cut passed him

By the way, that is just some beautiful offense by the Spurs in that first gif.

It's more great ball movement by the Spurs than lazy defense by Lebron. The Spurs tend to make teams looks lazy with the way they pass the ball


Lebron did look tired in the 2nd half though. That would be my concern if I was a Heat fan going forward
