Ty Lue to LeBron: "Stop being so Passive, Stop turning the ball over!" LBJ Stormed...

[AirTupac]

“Stop being so passive!” the coach barked. “Stop turning the ball over! And guard Draymond!” James’s numbers looked fine—12 points, seven rebounds, five assists—but he had unleashed a few sloppy passes and Draymond Green, his primary assignment, was 5 for 5 from three-point range. “Bron was mad, pissed off at me, and then we went into the locker room at halftime and I told him the same thing in front of all the guys,” Lue recalls. “He was mad again, pissed off again.”

After Lue finished, he saw James approach assistant coach Damon Jones in the locker room and overheard their exchange. “It’s messed up that T Lue is questioning me right now,” James said. The Cavaliers trailed by seven. The season was slipping.

“Everything I read all year is that you want to be coached, want to be held accountable, and trust T Lue,” Jones replied. “Why not trust him now?”

James was still rankled. He moved on to James Jones, his long-time teammate, who has ridden shotgun to the past six Finals. “I can’t believe this,” LeBron said.

“Well,” Jones responded, “is he telling the truth?”

Lue, ducking in and out of a back office, kept an eye on LeBron. “He stormed out of the locker room,” Lue says. The coach laughs as he tells the story. “I didn’t really think he was playing that bad,” Lue admits. “But I used to work for Doc Rivers in Boston, and he told me, ‘I never want to go into a Game 7 when the best player is on the other team.’ We had the best player. We needed him to be his best. I know he might have been tired, but f--- that. We had to ride him. And he had to take us home.”

So...Lebron's not playing defense. The coach literally tells him to start playing defense. Then Lebron gets emotional and "storms off"?

What kind of f*ckery is this? :oldlol: Good thing for Cleveand that Kyrie played unreal.

The most telling part about him is that he was rifling through personnel in the lockerroom desperate to find a yes man so that he wouldn't have to accept his coaches criticism :facepalm

You shouldn't have said anything, I wanted to see how high that shit could go. Don't think I've seen someone pass the 30 post threshold

That was some impressive finals performance by Lebron, I gotta admit. Came back from 1-3 against the winningest NBA team ever. Led his team across the stat-sheet and delivered in crunch time.

He's still frantically reading this thinking he's not a loser if he browses without giving into his urge to post 30+ times a day :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: dweeb

[sdot_thadon]

Considering he had one of the greatest defensive series by a wing player ever that series, you're risking embarrassment trying to suggest he wasn't playing defense. We all watched that series, most of you can't get over it as it is. His defense was spectacular in the 2016 finals no ifs ands or buts about it.

GREAT JOB BY LUE..


CUZ LEBRON CAME UP WITH THE GREATEST DEFENSIVE MOMENT EVER IN A NBA FINALS GAME 7.. BEST EVER..

Whether you want to give some credit to Lue for a play like that or not, I believe he may have pushed Lebron into finding that last bit of ENERGY to come up with the GREATEST DEFENSIVE MOMENT IN A NBA FINALS GAME 7..

THAT TOTALLY CHANGED THE GAME IN FAVOR OF THE CAVS.. LEBRON WITH THE GOAT DEFENSIVE MOMENT IN THE NBA FINALS .. :bowdown:

LEBRON IS UP THERE WITH MJ.. I still think

mj and Kareem are top 2 with Lebron at third. :rockon:

This is in reference to the 1st half of Game 7. LeBron had a couple of turnovers where he probably should've shot it as opposed to passing it. That's what had Lue mad. I personally didn't think LeBron was passive in the 1st half at all.

Funny thing is, Lue's halftime outburst didn't work at all. LeBron's ridiculously passive for much of the 3rd (story of his career) and doesn't really get going again until the 4th.

Let's keep this 30 ppd pace going boys :rockon: :rockon:

Just got back from a date but I'm back with vengeance, now!

If you're doubting LeBron's defensive impact in the 2016 Finals then I feel embarrassed for you and you should not be allowed to have Arnie in your avatar.

And for good measure since this is my favorite:

other posters provided your vids, here are some numbers to crunch:


LeBron In the finals was utterly ridiculous:

Overall: 31.6 DFG%, opponents usually shoot 47.9%, -16.3%
Threes: 29.0 DFG%, opponents usually shoot 39.6%, -10.6%
Twos: 33.3 DFG%, opponents usually shoot 53.6%, -20.3%
<6ft: 38.5 DFG%, opponents usually shoot 63.6%, -25.1%


Too put it in proper context here are lebron's, dpoy, and runner up's numbers from that season:


No data available for transition defense, defense on cuts, and defense on offensive rebound out backs. In his thirteenth season playing on a team that's otherwise not that good defensively, James quietly out together a great, great defensive season because he had to since his team really had maybe three other plus defenders. Unlike Kawhi and Draymond who were subpar in some categories, James was at worst in the 73rd percentile.

Green:

Overall: 39.4 DFG%, opponents usually shoot 45.5%, -6.1%
Threes: 29.4 DFG%, opponents usually shoot 34.6%, -5.1%
Twos: 42.9 DFG%, opponents usually shoot 49.2%, -6.3%
<6ft: 51.9 DFG%, opponents usually shoot 60.6%, -8.7%

Kawhi

Overall: 39.2 DFG%, opponents usually shoot 44.8%, -5.6%
Threes: 33.7 DFG%, opponents usually shoot 34.9, -1.2%
Twos: 41.7 DFG%, opponents usually shoot 48.8%, -7.2%
<6ft: 53.5 DFG%, opponents usually shoot 60.5%, -7.0%

LeBron:

Overall: 37.4 DFG%, opponents usually shoot 44.7%, -7.3%
Threes: 32.1 DFG%, opponents usually shoot 34.6%, -2.6%
Twos: 40.8 DFG%, opponents usually shoot 49.0%, -8.2%
<6ft: 48.6 DFG%, opponents usually shoot 59.9%, -11.3%


Now refer back to those finals figures, hope that helps.
