It's a bad shooting percentage, but it's the way it has to be. He's gotta create shots for himself and others. No one else can do it on the team. The Warriors defense is playing good one him usually, give them credit.

LeBron had his hand on 70 of the Cavs 91 points. He shot a decent 44% from the field, shot 3/8 from three. Scored 40 points, had 14 rebounds, 11 assists with a steal and only 2 turnovers and they still lost. You can't ask the man to do much else.

The difference in the loses is the Cavs aren't knocking down shots like they were and the Warriors lineup changes has promoted more of a transition offense.

Oh the pain you must feel.

Love it!

[edrick]

When Lebron is on the bench, the team is shooting 18 percent. 18 PERCENT

It's very necessary.

Lebron doesn't have a Pippen or Shaq/Gasol etc.

another reason why lebron is the GOAT. He does more with less.

getting past the first round in the playoffs, or even make the playoffs for that matter without another all star on his team. Something Kobe could never do.

He got his shit pushed in even farther when he had Wade and Bosh just last year :confusedshrug:

Rose is not in the same league as the other players mentioned, imo.

If he was getting doubled it'd be understandable but he's getting left alone in single coverage all game...

Minus the near triple-double average, sure.

He missed a lot of gimmes, but also help defense would come over (usually Green) to double LeBron at the last minute multiple times at the basket.

People saying he's single covered the whole time every time are delusional.

[Mr Feeny]

And no big man on his team to command the opposition defense's attention! Wink wink. Oh Shaq where art thou?

i love how MJ stans are jumping on the FG% bandwagon now. Back when lebron was shooting 57% in the finals, they say he's stat padding. Now he's averaging a 40 point triple double they all say "bubu but dat FG% doe."

:roll:

[LikeABosh]

Kobe's last FMVP in 2010 he scored 8 ppg less than Lebron on .405 shooting. 5 less rebounds, 5 less assists and of course 6/24 in game 7.

when has MJ ever had 57% FG in a finals series, or average 36-12-9 in a series?

He couldnt even get of those.

:lol

FTs and 3 pointers count too :confusedshrug:

Kobe Bryant TS% 53
LeBron James TS% 48

[outbreak]

Sure he could shoot better but look at the roster, EVERY play goes through him. Even if they lose he is still helping his legacy with this series. It's like watching an NBA2k game where the player controlled character (lebron) handles and creates every possession.

[coast2coast]

Weird I could have sworn Mozgov dropped 28 and 10 a few days ago. :confusedshrug:

And the next night he wasn't even good enough to get 10 minutes.

That's the difference between great big men and big men like Mozgov, who couldn't even consistently finish plays against players 7 inches shorter than he was.

Now that Lebron can't rely on barreling his way into the paint, he's gotta rely on his jumper. And he's getting EXPOSED. Literally and figuratively. :oldlol:

and had a much much better team, because you know, basketball is a team sport. This series isn't even over last time I checked so it's a moot point.

Mozgov was 9 for 16 and 10 for 12 from the line.

[BigTicket]

Lebron's FG%, 3pt% and FT% are all higher than the rest of the team, so it would seem to be a good thing that he takes so many shots.

The Warriors are a great defensive team, and the Cavs are seriously shorthanded, so low shooting percentages are the inevitable outcome.

[-23-]

Let's be fair; he has JR Smith on the team

Funny how it's a team sport when Lebron loses but a solo carrying effort when he wins.

Story of his career.

Don't forget, Lebron was the defacto coach when the cavs offense was humming (#1 in the post-season) until the Finals, but I guess he has nothing to do with the maligned decisions such as shortened player rotations or going small in game 5.

I assume you're smarter and more capable of actually analyzing the game than resorting to something like that. No one blamed his team in 2011 when they lost; it was all on him. And who gives him all the praise when they win? You have people slobbing on Wade's knob despite coming to play every other night, or Ray Allen for hitting a clutch shot.

This year, it's clearly not on LeBron as there is little more any player in NBA history could do given the circumstances.

It's ok to use context and not boil down basketball to black and white elementary school logic.
