What are you talking about? The game was a 4-5 point game the whole way.....the 1st quarter ended in a tie....unless you're talking about the 6 point lead they had stupid early in the 1st? Which you can't be, because that's just a dumb thing to say....Miami never had a lead over 7....how and when was this blow out coming?

The flow of the game early on when it was a layup drill made it feel like it could have been a blowout.

Teams just need to give Bron Bron space. I'm still skeptical he can beat you in a whole series from the perimeter.

That's selling his intelligence short. If it were that easy, it would have been done already.
I think it's good that mid-range jumpers are his weakness instead of his strength.

You'll never stop Lebron. Thats not the objective. its about figuring out a way to make him as inefficient as possible.

Right, and I think he's too smart to start relying on mid/long jumpers. He knows it's the most inefficient shot.

Well, eh is also attempting more threes than in the past. Also, if you sag on him you aren't giving him huge lanes to collapse the defense. That is what the Spurs did last year and they should have won in 6. Then Lebron went crazy in game 7.

So did they forget in game 7?
Or did Bron adjust?

Thats essentially what Pop did all series last year.

Worked until 2nd half of Game 6/Game 7.

Easier said than done.

IN addition, the Heat were looking like they were going to blow out the Nets early on and Kidd basicallky told his team to sag on everyone but Bosh. While Lebron has improved his weakness is still his jump shot.

Lebrons jumper is not weak. He shoots over 50% on jumpers! which is rare.

So Kidd figured out to sag off Mario and Wade. Freaking rocket scientist.

James is really efficient. You are right he doesn't take I'll advised jumpers. But, he's so good that he drains them still at a high rate equal to Durant.
 
Lakers are just an awful team right now. So much dysfunction. Did anyone read the things that Kobe said?

I mean, I guess they will have a top 5 pick in a solid draft and a lot of money to spend. If I were them I would just try to suck again next year and just hope you hit your top pick like OKC did with KD/RW/Harden

Those are Westbrooks per36 minute stats since he came back. Absolutely filthy.

Now up to a 24+ PER which would be a career high for him and good for top 10 yet again in the league.
