LeBron James

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Yeah, that and the defense probably the bad things from tonight. I think the defense is going to be bad every night. Minutes could be managed way better.
We're gonna be good enough on offense to tire teams out and not have to play elite defense ton i in. But just as AC said in game 1. We're gonna be a spurt team defensivly. We're gonna ebb and flow with the game and throw out 5-8 of LOCKDOWN energy D here and there. And THAT is when we'll build up leads, then after a team is downs theyll simply start playing bad and leads will get big
 
40 minutes again. NOt gonna cut it. I know Waiters and Delly were out but we're gonna have to start stealing minutes with James Jones or something.

To be fair, they have 3 days off after tonight. I think that might had something to do with being able to extend him a little longer too. Sometimes, he's still going to play 40 minutes.

We all agree, this can't happen every night though.
 
I agree on minutes but missing Dion and Delly in a close game is hard to disagree...

Dion is very much needed off this bench and needs to be a serious contributor in order for Bron to cut his minutes

I don't really mind it on nights like tonight when we didn't play the previous two and have multiple off days following. The problem is when it happens during a back-to-back, which has also been occurring.

Cavs are off until Friday. Dion and Delly were out. No qualms about LeBron playing forty minutes. Get the core three comfortable playing together, then work on reducing their minutes.

LeBron looked stiff early on, but loosened up as the game wore on. That's a good sign, I think.
 
As someone else said Lebron looked a little stiff early but he started to loosen up as the game went on (has to be his back whether he will admit it or not, would explain alot). Not quite the LBJ we are accustomed to athletically just yet but he showed plenty of encouraging signs. Was great to see his confidence and swagger rising after some of those power dunks.
 
Once we get rolling and our team is comfortable together on the court, I assume we will start decreasing LeBron's minutes slightly. Calm down people.

Is there someone who isn't calm?
 
He is playing some Jason Kidd style basketball. And he is not getting nearly as much pounded as he did in Miami. Smart positionig and playmaking. He can play this kind of game for 5 years on this level.
