Is LeBron trying too hard to let his teammates figure shit out on their own by taking breaks on offense?

I think it's basically LeBron realizing he has to save every bit of energy he has for the playoffs. He can't really afford to carry teams like he use to. And I'm sure some of it is spite for some of his teammates and probably more-so towards the front office.

I disagree. He’s been trying very hard to get his teammates involved in the first quarters. But what do I know, I’ve just been watching the games.

It's so much harder for him now when the past 3 years Kyrie could pretty much take over and iso the fuck out of anyone and take the load off LeBron. And the shooters the past few years were significantly better than they are right now (see: JR Smith).

Is Lebron trying

No

I think this is his version of protest. Because the front office won't try to make the team better, nor will he, which is shitty to watch

No I think he’s just lazy as shit and knows they’re not going anywhere with their current roster.

You think Lebron James is lazy? Have you seen his off seasons? You can’t be lazy and a top 10 performing player in the league at 33.

Sorry, he’s not lazy. He doesn’t give a shit is more accurate

Yeah, a top 10 rim protector, scorer, assist man the only consistent thing in the starting lineup

edit: downvote all you want but folks shoot 10% worse at the rim when lebron is the defender and he's the leading shot blocker on the cavs with 27% of the team's blocks, he's top 5 in scoring and assists and is the only starter to play every game.

so the downvotes aren't for a legitimate reason, it's just you taking your ball and going home

If he has the ball "they don't run plays", if they run a play for IT "he's not doing enough"

prime example of someone who doesn't watch games. LeBron has been exhibiting some of the worst off-ball movement (lack thereof) I've ever seen. It's not all about narratives

You're talking out of your ass, if you watched so much goddamn cavs basketball (you don't) you'd realize that he gets over half his off-ball points when wade is in the lineup because wade is a good ball handler and the plays are meant to take advantage of their chemistry, they don't run those same plays with 5'nothin IT who simply can not make the same passes wade can, IT penetrates and gets most of his assists off that

If you've watched so much goddamn basketball you'd realize that right now, IT getting going is the #1 focus of the first team, they don't run a lot of plays for ANYONE else right now, with love out that's their focus

So we're back to you folks crying like women about how lebron is too ball dominant and the cavs don't run plays OR it's this stupid shit and lebron isn't in perpetual motion

When a motherfucking ball dominant PG whose bread and butter is the PNR is running a PNR, there SHOULD be 3 guys not moving much and standing around outside, it's a 2 man game and contrary to popular belief, it is STILL the highest scoring play in basketball
