LeBron hasn't scored 30+ points in 8 straight playoff games (his longest drought)

[Poetry]

That's the longest drought for him ever.

In 2011 he went 7 games without 30+ in the playoffs, scoring 28, 24, 20, 17, 8, 17, and 21.

This year his numbers are 22, 27, 20, 22, 25, 27, 24, and 21.

But the Cavs have looked great so far, so maybe there's no reason to worry.

(For those of you wondering, MJs longest streak was 4 games).

Yeah. I mean it's obviously cruise control for him right now, as it should be. LeBeast and the Cavs' main objectives right now should be getting ahead in series, remaining healthy, and conserving as much energy as realistically possible. And taking advantage of this extra rest.

I don't think he'll need to put up more than maybe one 30-point effort until the Finals.

[NZStreetBaller]

Its because he has great players around him who can pick up the slack. Plus his ppg was pretty large last finals so this just goes to show. Stats dont mean shit.

[coin24]

Because they're playing dleague squads and his team is stacked as fu*k. Also he's not the number 1 option on offense because he can't shoot for shit

[ArbitraryWater]

cruise control (FINALLY)... gon erupt in the finals harder than usual :biggums:

[Lebronxrings]

hes unselfish and trying to build up his teammates confidence. He only scores in the clutch and 4th quarters.

[oh the horror]

He's not on cruise control. It's how the team is assembled. If he needs to drop 30+ points on a team with that talent then something is wrong.

[tmacattack33]

Game 2 was a big blowout.

Lebron had 27 points before sitting early in the 4th quarter.

[Young X]

He doesn't have to dominate. There's no team or player in his conference that can even come close to giving him a challenge.

There's no Big 3 Celtics or Dwight Howard and Orlando that can compete with him and force him to play his best.

He can just chill and give his teammates confidence without a care in the world until the finals.

Basically. And while exciting for actual Cavs fans it's beginning to be ridiculous to watch for general fans. That east is just doo doo. I mean their ECF matchup may be a run down Miami or a broken ass soft Toronto team? That's a tragedy dude :cheers:

The Raps won one more game than the Thunder this year, who might feature in the WCF as well?

[raprap]

How salty are the kobetards right now?

[pauk]

That doesnt phase him/his gamestyle, he isnt a pure scorer/strict scorer/shoot-first guy despite being great/capable of it and thats not the only thing he is great at, he wasnt that since 2003 so i dont understand when people will learn... he is a two way or actually a three way player (scoring, defense & playmaking), a drafted point-guard with more of a pass-first mindset, more similar offensive mindset to Magic Johnson or even Larry Bird rather than chuckers like Jordan or especially Kobe... and he just isnt one dimensional enough (great at only one thing) to be limited to one main task, in this case scoring, if he was then he would hoist more shots & have more 8 straight 30+ pt playoff games... which would or more likely would not compensate for everything else he does right now....

[chazzy]

We all know who the more feared team is, let's be real

[KiiiiNG]

LeBron's the only player in history who can dominate without scoring TOO MUCH. He's still putting up around 25ppg... but its his play-making/defense, and leadership that are winning the Cavs these games... his 25ppg also doesn't hurt, but he's that good so we'll use arbitrary cutoff numbers to judge his impact. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[knicksman]

No need to be salty over 2/6:lol

[LBJ 23]

How many 3's did Love score just this last game off Lebron assists(right in the shooters pocket) when Lebron was driving and pulling all those defenders on him? He might not score 30 all these past games but he's responsible for soo many points, not to mention all the hockey assists.

[Poetry]

That makes 9 straight, but they are 9-0.

[RoseCity07]

LeHelp doesn't have to work as hard anymore. He is finally letting the stack do the work.

[KingPush]

Only 24 points on 11-13 shooting tonight in a blowout.

He's done.

[Keno]

blowout, could've had 30 in 3 quarters if he chucked.

[LAZERUSS]

Only 24 points on 11-13 shooting tonight in a blowout.

This.

He obviously is incapable of a 30 point game any more.

Washed up.

[Lebron23]

Only played less than 29 minutes against the Craptors.

[RedBlackAttack]

That's the longest drought for him ever.

In 2011 he went 7 games without 30+ in the playoffs, scoring 28, 24, 20, 17, 8, 17, and 21.

This year his numbers are 22, 27, 20, 22, 25, 27, 24, and 21.

(For those of you wondering, MJs longest streak was 4 games).
None of the Cavs even played in the fourth quarter.

LeBron had 24/6/4 on 13 shots in just 28 minutes.

Yeah, I tend to agree that there's nothing to worry about when it comes to LBJ's game. :oldlol:

Kyrie is the perfect sidekick for him at the moment. He is taking a tremendous burden off of LeBron that has almost always been there (being a volume scorer) and allowing him to lock in defensively and kill teams in spots and with playmaking.

It has been a thing of beauty so far.


The only thing that has surprised me a little is how LeBron has seemingly agreed to stop isolating and pouding the ball, and has completely bought in to this offensive system. But, it can only help extend his career and it takes the ceiling off of how good this team can be.

LOL @ that consistent downfall. Just got worse with every game.

[SamuraiSWISH]

Does he need to though?

:roll:

[Poetry]

Not really. One of his teammates (usually Kyrie) has led the team in scoring in 7 out of 10 games this postseason.

[Poetry]

11 straight without 30+, but Cavs are 10-1.

This year his numbers are 22, 27, 20, 22, 25, 27, 24, 21, 24, 23, 24.

It's his 4th time leading the team in scoring this postseason.

[stalkerforlife]

They NEEDED him to have a scoring outburst tonight and he couldn't deliver.

He deferred while being guarded one on one by a center.

Lebron is a poor man's Magic Johnson, his strength lies in his passing ability and the skills to run be the distributor, he doesnt have the killer instinct like MJ had.

I thought you were a Lebron fan? Him and Wilt (and I think Oscar) were the only players I've seen you go to bat for.
