LeBron James

[Zen]

It is absolutely amazing how much better Lebron looks after 2 weeks.

It's funny we all mind fucked ourselves into thinking we got an old shell of himself Lebron back. We all knew something was off.

But, until you see him at normal strength its easy to forget just how insanely dominant he is. It's ridiculous to watch.

His defense onnGriffin in the post was great. He didn't give up an inch. Blake made two very difficult shots and was stopped 6 other times. Then he sneaked one in at the end of the game.

Lebron is Lebron, we all know when he brings it the guy is an all-time beast period.

But to me the best thing about his play lately has been the energy he is bringing. You can tell our whole team follows his lead.

Hate LeBron all you want, but he is the key to everything we will do now and in the near future.

Now it's time for LeBron to embrace Blatt. Keep playing like we have the last 2.5 games or so and we could just sneak out of the East.

I don't like Chill Mode LeBron or Undermine his Coach LeBron. Tonight, we had the LeBron who loves playing basketball. If we have him for the rest of the year, we'll be in good shape.

My guess is that Chill Mode LeBron is the same as Mutiny LeBron. Hopefully both will be gone for good now.

LeBron had 9 turnovers, many of them careless, and yet I agree that he was still easily the best player on the floor despite one of his teammates scoring 37.

He made a lot of sharp passes, too, and he was the clear leader when it counted, including guarding Griffin when it became critical. Nice to see him with that hop in his step on offense.

Seemed like a big dose of Irving/LeBron P+R's. Maybe they could try that with Love/LeBron when he gets back...

Evidently, LeBron said "We have a great coach" during post-game interviews.

Anyone catch that remark?

 

[GwenJen]

Which coach was he talking about though?

 

[mrbeaks]

Weirdest goddamn game I've seen in years. When Blatt went to hack-a-DeAndre in the third, I thought he was begging to be fired. Then LeBron kept turning the ball over as if on purpose. And then, all of a sudden, he bought in and played some of his best basketball of the season. This is a great team on paper, but Blatt has been forced to make unusual adjustments due to his best player's unpredictable moods. I hope LeBron finally sees how good this team can be when he allows himself to be coached every now and again. This could be the beginning of a great partnership.

I was thinking this same exact thing. I'm really hoping chill mode and undermine his coach LeBrons are really just conserve all energy to carry the young guys in the playoffs LeBron. If that's the case, oh boy!

Yep. It is an honour to watch him. Have been shocked and disappointed at the criticism he's been getting. Yeah he's not perfect but we may never see a player this good play for us again in our life time! Has been a step slower and maybe holding back at times but guess what, he's been carrying our and Miami's trash bags for a decade, it will take a toll! But he's still the best player in the game and will be for a while yet.

Best player in the game when he wants to be.

For the past three games, it looks like he wants to be. Hope it keeps up.

Don't mean to be that guy, but they asked who he was pointing to and he said"coaching staff".

He knows the narrative, he knows it would have been music to fans ears if he specified blatt. Can't imagine why he wouldn't have said blatt if it was blatt.
