LeBron always has a feeler game

What was he feeling in 2011?

[Nike D'Antoni]

Feeler game? He was on 15 game win streak in conference semis

Yes this is true

But it was Wade that taught lebron about the feel-out game in the 12" Finals

Wade after Game 1: "this game was just to see.. just to see"

It was one of the hardest post game comments that I"ve heard

[Axe]

LeBron always has a fallout game
I think this is what op actually meant.

[Gohan]

Yea he needs feeler games to pad his playoff stats

yea and then the refs put durant in foul trouble for the rest of the series on bogus block calls.

Wouldn't say always but he definitely does do this sometimes. Thats why its so hard to tell if its just a feeler or if its gonna be one of those times where he just dosnt show up for the series. I think your right though. I expect him to come back hard next game.

[uber]

And his stans always have come up with multiple threads with multiple excuses how it's not his fault but his teammates.

How is he padding his stats when he had shit stats by his standard? Some of y'all need to take time and think before you hit post reply.

[StrongLurk]

Imagine how dumb it is to just "give" another team game 1 of a playoff series. Don't teams that win the first game of a playoff series win the WHOLE series almost 80% of the time?

Lebron having "feel out" games is a negative thing...and he should be criticized. I'm a big Lebron fan, but damn he makes it hard sometimes. At least with Kobe and MJ they just were aggressive assholes with very minimal antics who went hard from the get go.

He isn't "giving" it away but when you're the player with the highest IQ in history, you figure out what the team is trying to do and destroy them with their own gameplan. He does it often, he back door sweeps or 5-game series wins.

I think of Rose Bulls, KD Russ Harden Thunder, Pierce/KG Joe Johnson Nets, Rose/Deng Bulls in 2010, 2011 Boston Big 3, you get the message

Check the Lebron total playoff points threads. Games like this are basically the argument for him being a superior scorer over Jordan for his stans. Games his team loses but he still adds to his total.

Games like this :lol It's called trying to advance in a series. If LBJ shits the bed a la MJ before Pippen (1-9) then LBJ never even makes it to this 2nd round series because his 1-9 ends his playoff career hopes. Sorry MJ didn't advance enough without Pippen, I really am. I wish the gap was closer and MJ had 1,000 more points.

Feeling like jumping ship and joining the Rockets is more like it.

Those threads are made by mouth breathing retards.

[RealSkipBayless]

Ah yes.. We've seen this before.

When the Celtics blew out the Cavs in game 1. Lebron said it was of course a feel out game, but everyone wanted to pretend like Marcus Morris was some Lebron stopper and the series was over... Then the Cavs won the series.

Even the Bulls without Rose in 13' won Game 1 against the Heat (Nate Robinson had a huge game). It is a recurring theme in his career, for whatever reason.

It is interesting whenever the Lakers lose it is all LeBron but when LA wins all the people blaming LeBron for the losses give all the credit for the wins to AD. When they lose, mysteriously not a word on AD. :oldlol:

MJ couldn't even hit 6k :(

[Gohan]

MJ couldn't even hit 6k :(

He played less games

[Spurs m8]

I wonder if the constant mental gymnastics by the stans follows them into their real lives

Lol I’ve noticed the mental gymnastics

3 championships and 3 finals mvps are somehow over 6 finals mvps and 6 championships. It’s at the point where they are lying to themselves but 1-9 though lmao. What a sad bunch of individuals they should be ashamed of themselves

[Roundball_Rock]

Observation: LeBron stans focus on LeBron's individual achievements, Jordan stans on the Chicago Bulls' team achievements.

[SATAN]

Yet he wasn't stat padding :facepalm

Yea but Jordan still has more individual achievements. 10 scoring titles, dpoy, 5 mvps and all in less seasons. Lebron only has more points cuz he came into the league younger. Lebron fans focus on crap stats and Jordan beats him in both. As someone once said, “yo dj can’t scratch you won’t last. So just hop out the battle retreat for your saddle”

[FromDowntown]

MJ couldn't even hit 6k :(

Not even 6,000? Doesn't LeBron have over 7,000 though? Wow

[FromDowntown]

He played less games

He led his team in Finals scoring 6x
Kareem 5x
Shaq 5x

No surprise they're all top playoff scorers right? LeBron led 8x. Goat gon' Goat. Only way to beat Lebron is by leading your team in Final scoring more times than LeBron. 6x isnt' good enough

Why didnt he win more finals then? Lebron plays against nothing but manufactured stars. Jordan faced much tougher competition. Dudes in Jordan days had to work two jobs. Car mechanics and basketball. Imagine how mentally tough that makes you as players.

Well, there’s a reason lebron has only 1 scoring title while Jordan has 10. And ppg>> over total points in most circumstances

[SATAN]

Because Michael was a ball hog.

[Roundball_Rock]

MJ clearly was a better scorer than LeBron but MJ fans keep judging various players by PPG while ignoring that some of these players were asked to pass first, score second. Guys like MJ, Kobe had the opposite role.

[LAL]

Not a dribbling ball hog with zero moves and no jumper.

Kobe and MJ could average triple doubles in their sleep. Lebron could not play the scoring wing player role, and especially not in a triangle offense. He would either average 35% fg or phil would have been fired after a month.

No they couldn't and Lebron is a much better scorer than Kobe was. Kobe could never do what Lebron has done. He tried. He certainly tried to score a lot more in the playoffs, but couldn't get to Lebron totals even while taking more bad shots to try and pad his scoring stats. Kobe certainly could never lead a finals in all 5 categories. He always needed quality bigs to get rebounds on all his bricks.

MJ tried averaging a triple double and his team record was horrible. He gave up trying to be a team player soon after.
