LeBron James

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Here is the thing. I don't like the iso-ball either but,

1. Its pretty damn effective.

2. Look at the players he has around him. TT, Delly, Shump and James Jones. How many of them are good offensive players? Jones is the only good shooter in that lot. Shump and TT have good athleticism and hustle play but their offensive play is underhwlming. That leaves us with Delly, who well, is Delly.

#2 basically disproves #1

I can tell you this - it's not going to get us very far in the playoffs.

Absolutely. But most of the teams who have had superstars like Jordan and Kobe etc have played isol and won things. The key is not to overdo it.

The problem isnt ISO ball for LeBron.

Its the location of where he's playing ISO ball.
All LeBron has to do is pass it to a teammate. Go establish position at the free throw/elbow and go to work. Being 30 ft from the hoop drains the offense. However, if he's closer to the hoop with the ball I feel LeBron will make the right decision and be more instinctive.
 
dude in the back is intrigued...trailer park couple - woman can't wait, dude about pull out his sawed-off...blonde acting the fool but really wants it....
 
The blonde in the bottom right hand corner looks like she has a hyper-extended elbow. Kind of weird looking if you ask me.
 
I have a theory that Blatt has been trying to reduce Kyrie's minutes of late. Tonight he never brought Irving back out in the 4th and just left James in a few minutes more. I'd like to see James more around 32-33 mins/game but it's worth noting that James is averaging 36.2 mpg, which is easily the lowest mpg of his career. He was never below 37.5 in Miami.

Generally Blatt has been trying to control James' minutes.
 
Why the F did Lebron play 35 minutes in a blowout game???

Why do you think playing 35 minutes is a big deal?

Not only is 35 minutes not much at all, they were 35 easy minutes. He hardly exerted himself in the second half. The Nets basically layed down after the midway point of the 2nd quarter.

Beyond that we only 8 games in the next 21 nights, which is about as light of a stretch of schedule as you will ever find in the NBA.

In other words, take a deep breath, calm the F down, and find something more important to vent about.
