The Official Cavs vs. Magic thread

When will teams start playing off of Lebron and make him a jump shooter? Turkgolu has the past few possessions and look what has happened. Not sayin that Lebron will always shoot this bad, but when Lebron doesn't get in the lane he can't create for his teammates. He aslo won't get fouled as much meaning less FT attempts.

My problem is LeBron is holding on to the ball too long.
 
Hes having an off game on the jumper.. it happens.. dude damn near shot 70 percent in game 1... it's not going to fall every night.

Your missing the point, Ive watched Damn near all of Lebrons games this year, dude has to shoot layups to get himself going hes not a pure shooter By any means, not a Ray Allen, Rashard Lewis,Kobe,Melo, his jumpshot is only reliable when hes gets hot, hes so streaky that he dont trust it, he had a few pull up jumpers he should have taken in game 1 in the crunch, but he dont trust that J.
 
damn. sideshow bob just WATCHED the rebound.

:smh:

gave good D help on rafer alston, then just watched the damn ball in the air.

and committed a TO.
 
howard throwing them bows again :smh:

on the flip side he seems to be showing more nastiness in his play, which a lot of people criticized him about having enough of

Exactly, when his J becomes a second thought to him then will he be unstoppable if he played against Niggaz like Dennis Rodman they would have taken charges all day on Bron but most players are scared to take a charge these days.

I'm not missing the point. I've watched all year as well. Kobe doesn't shoot the ball as well as Ray Allen so why even make the comparison. Lebron is not a pure jump shooter and most likely never will. However, tonight is NOT an every game reality. He shot is not falling TONIGHT. He's not a streaky shooter either.

Hes definitely streaky, Game 1 proves it, theres no real middle ground to his Outside game hes not a dude who can beat you consistenstly from midrange and outside.

Lebron scores most of his points in the paint and draws a shit load of fouls, so you want him to shoot jumpers. Trust, teams are happy when Lebron is jackin up 3's. Cause that means he's not attacking the basket and not drawing as many fouls, meaning less FT's.

It makes more sense to make Lebron a jump shooter.

You can't seem to make the distinction between him being an average outside shooter and being "streaky". Vinny Johnson was a "streaky" shooter... so was Drazen..

Who is arguing against that? I agree 100 percent.
 
Told y'all about Joey Crawford !! That m'fucker got the quickest trigger in the league when it comes to the T's !!
