Explain your user name and avy... are you a LeStan or a Heat fan? Pick one.

[Soundwave]

This why I've never bought the "he's a fast player!" tag gifted to him.

He's not.

He struggles big time to blow past defenders even in 1-on-1 coverage in crunch situations and often has to settle on a distant jumper, which sometimes will fall but often won't.

He doesn't have the break away speed that even a Kobe does (did?) to be able to get separation for his shot.

Of course they don't. He's the hub of this team and still one of the greats to ever do it.

But there's definitely something to be said about his mental fortitude (or lack thereof) down the stretch of big games. This isn't the first time we've seen him implode to shreds with a game on the line. It's a worthwhile talking piece...

[coin24]

King James... Harden:bowdown:

LeBald as usual chokes away the game:lol :lol

[Millslapped]

A Wilt fan calling King James a choker. A ****ing Wilt fan.

[nba_55]

There was no choking, Lebron was confident the whole game, he never got scared, his shooting just went off at the wrong time. Gotta give him credit for nothing losing confidence despite the tough times and for keeping attacking.

But I didn't like the fact that he didn't get Love more involved. Love is a great player, Lebron should get him more in the post and let him get more points. Love is better than Bosh, he can't just spot up.

[CavaliersFTW]

Did Lebron choke because of pressure facing another MVP candidate? Lebron started out the game unusually aggressive. Seemed wound up all game, which was great the first 3 quarters. I was getting the vibe he wanted to make this a statement game.

I think it then becomes a valid question, did the pressure get to him in the final moments of the game once it became clear Harden and the Rockets were keeping the game close and wouldn't let up? If I know one thing about Lebron it's that pressure visibly shakes him up. He likes to blow teams out in wins he doesn't like them to get close. He's good enough against most teams that that can happen often. Close games are not his favorite type of game though. Where as superstars cut from a different cloth thrive on them. I think Lebron put too much pressure on himself tonight.

Lebron tonight reminded me of an old lady trying to carry too many groceries by herself. Just to prove to herself that she can. Makes it all the way to the front door then collapses as they fly out of her hands.

[knicksman]

Skip is such a ****ing idiot. The bias is so strong that I can't take anything he says seriously.

That was indeed embarassing. 3/11 from the freethrowline :facepalm c'mon even Shaq could have done better :D

[SwayDizzle]

LeBreezy is by far the best player on the Cavs and it's not even close. Only WestBreezy, Curry and Harden are currently playing better than Bron, and that doesn't imply they are overall better players. One thing that caught my attention during last nights game was how Bron reacts to negativity from the crowd. It really hurts his game. His FT shooting performance was indicative of how shook he was. He was hearing loud MVP chants for the opposing star and got taken the f out. Kobe found a way to thrive off these moments, embrace the villain role and completely destroy the opposition. Time for LeBreezy to book some time with the Mamba for a much needed and overdue lesson.

[hawksdreamfan44]

His mediocre free-throw shooting has always been someone of a turn-off with him for me.

[Mr Exlax]

Is he automatic or something from the line at any point of the game? He missed freethrows all game. One doesn't become a better shooter in the clutch. Doing what you normally do is clutch.
