Career low for Lebron in rebounds?

[Nash]

Since his 2nd year Lebron has always averaged around 7 rebounds a season, could we see a massive drop this year? He's playing with 3 elite rebounders:

Love: 12.5 rpg last season, 14rpg year before
Varejao: 10 rpg last season, 14rpg year before
Thompson: 9rpg last season, 9.5rpg year before

I'm thinking career low 5rpg for Lebron next season.

I hope so. This may be the most balanced team he's ever played on.

Well from what we saw he did drop weight, so I think he's going to move back out to the perimeter this year. Look for more assists/threes and less rebounds. Maybe a lesser FG% too due to the increase in outside shots.

4-5 rpg, he'll be battling with another rebound stealer in Love.

Expect a lot more of this next season

Maybe it even gets to this point

He should be letting the others rebound and flying up the wing for the fast break

:roll:

you can tell by lebron's body language that he was so infuriated he did not get those 2 rebounds to get a triple double.

:lol

I expect lebron to be practicing gobbling up those missed FT rebounds. He wants his numbers and those are the easiest to get...

[CelticBalla32]

Nah. It will all balance out once Varejao misses 45 games.

This is why I don't think the Love-Lebron combo will work.

This dude will be demanding that guys like Andy and Love clear out so he can collect the garbage on points, and rebounding.

[Demitri98]

The X factor for Cleveland's rebounding has got to be Andy's health. If he can play at least 65 games with a full playoff run, the rebounding with him and Love will be covered. But if Andy and/or Love miss significant time, LeBron is going to have to go inside for more boards in their absence.

If Andy, Love and Tristan are all healthy all year, I see LeBron getting maybe 5 RPG this year.
