Predict LeBrick's Field Goal Percentage in the NBA Finals

[BigBoss]

LeBron went 78-196 last year for 39% shooting when he didn't have Dwayne Wade or Chris Bosh to pass to.

Game 1: 18-38
Game 2: 11-35
Game 3: 14-34
Game 4: 7-22
Game 5: 15-34
Game 6: 13-33


Predict LeBrick's field goal percentage this year against the same team in the Playoffs

EDIT: To butt hurt LeBald fans. What does this thread have to do about Kobe? He retired. LeBron's playing in the Finals. LOL.

[Lebron23]

Kobrick Bryant is shooting 41 FG% in 7 NBA Finals Appearance.

[Gileraracer]

Because of the fact that iggy is there to guard him again i predict 37% overall, 17% from 3 and of course, because he can't shoot, 74% from the line

[MP.Trey]

He didn't have Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love or Channing Frye to pass to either. 48%.

[Lebron23]

This playoffs LeBron is averaging 25 ppg on 55 FG%. I can see him average 26-30 ppg on 52 FG% in the NBA Finals.

[SouBeachTalents]

Do Kobe stans not realize Kobe barely shot better than this or even worse in FIVE Finals?

[Wally450]

The Kyrie/LeBron pick & roll was working wonders in Game 1 last year before Kyrie went down. It could really break down the Warriors defense especially with other shooters spacing the floor for the Cavs.

[sd3035]

Since he's allowed to take 7 steps and touch defenders with the jab, he shouldn't be below 70%

[aj1987]

Definitely higher than OP's IQ.

He had no one to pass to.

There's a huge amount of middle ground between Wade/Bosh and nothing.

The funny part is OP thinks 39.8% = 39%. Kobe stans... kindergarten dropouts.

While averaging about 11 less points, 5 less boards, 4 less dimes, etc. The hypocrisy of Kobe stans ridiculing last year's finals is hilariously contradictory.

Around %55 TS

[elementally morale]

If LeBron is the 1st option and the top scorer, 44%. If he is 2nd to Kyrie, 52%.

[Indian guy]

If LeBron is the 1st option and the top scorer, 44%. If he is 2nd to Kyrie, 52%.

What is this based on, exactly?

LeBron has scored more ppg on better efficiency than Kyrie all regular season + playoffs. He also averaged a lot more ppg on far better efficiency than Kyrie in the 2 regular season meetings against GS too.

Kobetards :rolleyes:

What is this based on, exactly?

Cleveland has a better chance of winning if Love and kyrie play well and LeBron plays a well rounded game. If he has to be the primary scorer, his efficiency is likely to go down.

He and his team are both better off with him taking cca. 15-18 shots a game, not 25+.

(I would've answered the same with no LeBron involved. If you have to do everything well plus score the most points you are likely to be less efficient.)

That was not the question. I didn't say anything about LeBron being more or less efficient than Kyrie. All I said was: if LeBron needs to score 30 ppg he will be less efficient than he would be, had he got to score less than 24 ppg in order for the Cavs to win. The latter would allow better shot selection, thus more efficiency.

[Gileraracer]

Oh really? Did he play 1v5? He didn't trust anyone you mean...

[Indian guy]

Cleveland has a better chance of winning if Love and kyrie play well and LeBron plays a well rounded game.

This could all be achieved with LeBron still being the #1 option though - as it has ALWAYS been the case the last 2 seasons. LeBron's efficiency isn't predicated on what role he's playing in regards to Kyrie. He has managed to be very efficient while still being Cleveland's #1 scorer by far. Why would that suddenly change on the game's biggest stage? You made it sound like Kyrie being the #1 option for Cleveland is some type of norm, except it's not.

[aj1987]

Oh really? Did he play 1v5? He didn't trust anyone you mean...
He probably didn't want to pass it to players who were shooting sub 40% TS. 29% FG% and 28% 3pt% for a combined 25.5 PPG from 3 players.

25.5 PPG on 29% FG% 28% 3pt%.

[Snarky Narc]

He'll improve to 42%. Still not good enough to win.

[GINOBILI!]

28.6%, or approximately 2/7.

[MEB2kDeez]

42%

[bigkingsfan]

Whatever it takes.

[elementally morale]

You made it sound like Kyrie being the #1 option for Cleveland is some type of norm, except it's not.

I think they would be better off if LeBron wouldn't have to be the primary scorer. That's all. I didn't say anything about it being the norm. If LeBron has to force scoring he will shoot a bad percentage. If Love, Smith and Kyrie make their shots, the lane will be more open for LeBron to operate. he is not a good jump shooter and not a skilled post player. He is at his best when he can facilitate, run the break, attack the basket and shoot the open pullup three.

[Indian guy]

I think they would be better off if LeBron wouldn't have to be the primary scorer.

Ummm, I see. They have made 2 straight Finals with him always being the team's primary scorer, but now they'd be better off with Kyrie suddenly being the main guy because......???


If LeBron has to force scoring he will shoot a bad percentage.

Doesn't have to be an either or situation. LeBron can continue being the #1 option without pressing to score. And he will absolutely need to score A LOT in this series for Cleveland to have a prayer. Any team needs their top scorer to score a lot in order to beat a great team.

[PP34Deuce]

He's not going to be baited into one on one battles. He's going to be more of a passer and defender rebounder i believe. He will look to get his team involved more I believe. Lebron always starts off slow in a series...

[elementally morale]

If LeBron is the 1st option and the top scorer, 44%. If he is 2nd to Kyrie, 52%.

Well he was 9-21 at 43%. What's more interesting he started with 4 of 5 and went 5 of 16 the rest of the way. If Kyrie and Love cannot play better, don't look forward to LeBron being a lot more efficient than this.

(Curry was even worse vut it has nothing to do with the topic at hand.)

He just wanted to point out that Kobestans are retarded :lol
