LeBron James 33.7 career PPG in Game 7s...Shuts down Paul George

[TonyMontana]

LeBron James further proves he is one of the biggest Game 7 performers all-time. 33.7 PPG on good percentages. And that doesn't even bring into account his all nba defense. Shutting down All NBA player Paul George(7 points, 2-9 shooting). Similar to how he shut down Rose at the end of all those Bulls-Heat games in 2011.

Stat-padded the hell out of that game.

Look at Kobe vs Rockets in 09 for a classy blowout performance.

[tmacattack33]

George could hardly even get the freakin ball with the NBA version of Deion Sanders denying him the ball.

And when he did, and tried to go at Lebron one on one, he got nowwhere. I remember an airball and one play where George dribbled into a dead end (Lebron) and had nothing to do but pump fake 5 times :oldlol:




Also, Lebron played defense on D West in the second quarter and did good...and that allowed Miami to have their three point shooters in the game.

Shuts down 6'3 Derrick Rose, and now 6'9 Paul George. Next up (if needed) 6'2 Tony Parker.

I know you're not the brightest guy, but OP's thread is discussing game 7's where your back is against the wall, your season's on the line. Not random "closeout" games, game 4 is a close out game when your team's up 3-0 :facepalm

And how is a 23-5-2 game great by any stretch of imagination? Well I guess not everyone's standard is as high as lebron's, that a poor game to the King

Yeah, if he played with the same elimination game mentality and aggression in other games, some of those series wouldn't have gone to 7.

Still props to the dude for being one of the two best elimination game performers in history, but some of it is his own doing for being a passive bitch in previous games, worrying too much about getting his team mates involved rather than stepping on the opponents' throat from the outset.

Lebron's game 7's in Miami

[SamuraiSWISH]

2013 vs pacers IMo should have never gone 7 games. Pop's gimmicky defense was enough to throw lebron and miami's game plan off by trying to get lebron to play of of character on offense (tried to tun lebron into a jump shooter to keep him from carving up their lack of rim protection)
That tells you something about LeBron's confidence / aggression levels, or ability at recognizing gimmicky defenses. Mavs did the same thing to LeBron the Spurs did in 2013, or how they did to Wade in 2006. Only difference is Wade recognized it and torched them for letting him shoot mid range shots.

If LeBron played how he did in game 7, there might not have been a need to go 7 games. You do realize this, right? Game 7 v.s. Boston in 2012 is the only true series where I find it justifiable that the Heat didn't put it away until the final possible game. There was even moments in the series v.s. the Pacers last year where he was a little too timid.

lebron did recognize it which is why he was hesitant to shoot jumpers. he easily expoited it when he played with shooters and Wade on the bench




Mavs did the same thing to LeBron the Spurs did in 2013

Not the same defense at all. They turned Lebron into a passer..not a jump shooter and they focused their main d to lebron and let wade get he easier coverage. Old post of mine on it


[quote]Here is the best breakdown of what the mavs did to lebron in that series

Have Mavericks found a recipe to defend LeBron?

[quote]
In five games in the first round against Sixers LeBron averaged only 1,4 turnovers per game and his Game Score was 22,82 so either regular season numbers were a fluke or he simply had figured out Sixers

[Lebron23]

I am gonna rep you later Hoops. Thank for posting that article.

And yet if the Pacer coach didn't blunder the first game's final play, it never even makes it to 7 games.

another post on the differences between how the Mavs played LBJ in 2001 vs Spurs in 2013

a breakdown I saw on another board about the difference in how the 2011 Mavs played lebron vs 2013 Spurs




It wasn't quite "exactly the same". The Mavericks forced James into a strict PG role, where fullcourt pressure on any other ball handler forced the Heat to let James bring the ball down the court. Then, when James wasn't already initiating the offense by making the proper pass to the wings, they forced him to pass up the ball, either throwing a soft double at him or simply by the typical move of the big in the matchup zone to the strong side. Then, once the ball was out of his hands (the right pass Cuban was talking about), the Mavericks played ball denial on him, always covering the passing lanes to him and having a defender right there with him. What they used here was James being an underwhelming off-ball player, who really needs some space to get moving or has the urge to go to the ball. In that way they completely collapsed the spacing from James' POV, thus, even if he got the ball, he had to take tough contested shots with not much opportunities to make the right pass then (but he tried nonetheless and produced more turnovers). That kind of defensive strategy also gave Wade a lot of opportunities going 1on1, which he used and which made him look pretty good. But that was still the better option for the Mavericks than letting James do his things with the ball as the result showed.

The Spurs weren't actually forcing the ball out of James' hand, but rather forcing him towards non-desired spots on the court. They didn't use that zone defense of the Mavericks, but rather 1on1 defensive situations with the help coming from the inside. They tried to cover the passing lanes, but the better spacing still left room for James to make the correct pass. Nonetheless, the Spurs actually wanted James to be a jump shooter and to take more shots from more difficult spots, unlike the Mavericks who wanted him to take less shots, being a somewhat isolated player from the rest of his teammates. The Spurs didn't use the elements of the zone defense as much as the Mavericks, also, because they didn't quite have the players for that.
The Heat improved their spacing besides James, using Bosh as C further away from the basket and had Battier covering PF minutes. Also, they run a lot of lineups with James as the actual PF, putting the pressure on the Spurs to change up their defensive setting when Miller was in as SF. Those latter two options weren't there during the Mavericks series in 2011; where Joel Anthony got nearly 21 min per game (as comparison Chris Andersen got 10 mpg against the Spurs), and Miller was in worse conditions than in 2013. So, the defensive strategy of the Mavericks also worked well, because the Heat teammates weren't as good suited to counter it as the 2013. The series against the Mavericks might very well explain why the Heat actually used their taxpayer MLE on Battier and Allen, despite having James, Wade and Miller for those wing positions already.

The result for James looked similar in terms of shooting efficiency in those two series for a couple of games, but the defensive strategy was really different. At the end, the overall team offensive performance was also quite different, as well as James' impact on that. The Heat with James on the court played over 2 pts per 100 possessions better offensively against the Spurs, and the Spurs were in average better defensively than the 2011 Mavericks.

LeGod is amazing:bowdown: I know for damn sure if he shot 7-24 in a game 7 he'd never hear the end of it. Lebron keeps succeeding and people keep doubting. The funny thing about it is Lebron fans don't give a shit. When you know you're rooting for the greatest in the game you tune out the haters.

Bitter Cavs fans need to move on and :http://i.imgur.com/fzX51A1.gif

another post on the differences between how the Mavs played LBJ in 2001 vs Spurs in 2013

a breakdown I saw on another board about the difference in how the 2011 Mavs played lebron vs 2013 Spurs

All those words to do damage control for LeBron choking hard against the Mavericks in 2011, and almost doing the same thing against the Spurs in 2013. :lol

Lol, why even bump this thread

Lol, why even bump this thread

People are calling him a playoffs choker. The only time he choked and played below his level in the playoffs was back in the 2011 NBA Finals. The Dallas Mavericks interior defense shut him down.

Good thread. Probably the best game 7 performer of all time. Best player under pressure. Lebron James.

Game 6 vs Boston was the most pressured-filled game of all time for any superstar in NBA history. The fact he performed the way he did was just... wow.

I know this is a game 7 thread but I just wanted to make that assertion.

If someone can find another player who faced as much pressure to win in a single game - legacy on the line type shit - please share because I am looking for more examples. Outcome doesn't matter.

He posted a 45/15/5 on 19 for 26 FG statline in an elimination game.

Lebron James is the undisputed best player under pressure.

[Warfan]

Yeah people exaggerate his playoff choking, he played shit in the 2011 finals, had like 1 or 2 bad games against Boston in 2010, in 08 he didn't play well for a few games in the series but had a great game 7, and then he played poorly in his first finals but that's pretty much it. He's a very good playoff performer and I'm only critical of the Dallas series and those few games against Boston his last year with the cavs.
