Why did LeBron shoot so poorly in the 2015 playoffs?

[TheCorporation]

Because 6'2 Payton clamped him for 27 ppg on 41%


Oh wait that was someone else

Bron did 36 ppg on 40% against Dray, Klay, and Iggy

Imagine it

27 on 41% vs 6'2 Payton

Or

36 on 40% vs Dray, Klay, Iggy

What are the chances that LeBron James has used HGH or Anabolic Steroids?

Thread backfire?

It's pretty simple really. He was forced out of his comfort zone when Kyrie and love went down. He felt he had to score more but Lebron isn't really a high volume scorer. He's better and more efficient when he let's the game come to him and he takes his shots when the opportunity best presents itself. This is one of the reasons why mj was a much better scorer. Mj could let the game come to him and be efficient or he could force it and still be efficient.

Iggy was in the last year of his prime also and was a big, smart, athletic defender.

Comp is no excuse because lebron had an extra all-star for his rings (2 perennial all-star teammates)

Give MJ extra all-star teammate and he would sweep the Warriors and every team in history (he was already 6/6 with just 1 all-star)

But teams had to win with just 1 all-star teammate in the 90's, due to goat parity, which lowered net ratings - there were 3-4 Spurs-level teams in the west that took turns losing to MJ in the Finals, while the late 00's spurs were the only 3-star team, hence the higher net rating

And don't inflate his "impact" - lebron only took teams to the Finals because he had 2 star teammates from 11-17', and the 07 run in a weak Conference just like iverson, dwight, and kidd did in that same conference.. so don't overrate his impact - he should be knocked for FAILING to make the Finals in the 09/10, and ceding the easy run to dwight and a 50-win celtics team

Corporation avoiding this like the plague

[superduper]

Imagine thinking Klay/Iggy are better man defenders than Gary Muthaphucking Payton

These idiots saying "6'1" like MJ himself isn't just an inch taller than Payton. Not everyone can be god gifted 6'10 280lbs

Good lord mods...

[paksat]

Anyone?

Thread backfire?

so mj dropped 27ppg on the best perimeter defender of all time?

[ArbitraryWater]

He shot only 2% worse than kobe did in his finals career.

1% worse.

kobe wasn't a 42% finals shooter

[aj1987]

Mozgov dropped 30 in game 4, then LeBron froze him out for the rest of the series

Jones Miller and JR as good as 3 point specialists as anyone. They were litterally hand picked for LeBron Ball.

The not enough help thing is getting comical at this point

The Cavs got eviscerated that game, you turd munching retard.


Here's some FACTS about the 2015 Finals:


LeBron 2015

LeBron was purposefully slowing down the pace. You don't win against the Warriors (with a garbage ass team no less) playing run and gun ball. They're gonna out shoot you and destroy you. The Cavs would've lost in 4 straight blowouts if they played uptempo basketball.

He couldn't hand over the playmaking duties to others nor was he able to let others make decisions, because they're low IQ players. Shump and JR were terrible and can't create for others. Delly had a hard time bringing the ball up court. Actually, Shump is a below average playmaker, but the other two are worse than garbage.

The game in which Mozgov put up 28 points, the Cavs lost by 21 points. LeBron struggled shooting the ball, but he did have 20/12/8. 12 rebounds and 8 assists (oh wait, rebounds and assists only matter when it's Bird). Delly went 3-14, JR 2-12, Shump 2-9, JJ 0-3, etc.. A combined 18% FG%. Literally no one could hit a shot. To top it off, the Warriors went small and Moz couldn't guard anyone on the court. Bogut was benched and Green was playing at the C.

You're blaming LeBron for Moz not getting more involved in game 5 after the 28 point game, when in fact, the COACH played him 9 minutes. He played over 30 minutes in game 6 and LeBron got him involved. Dude put up 17/12/4.

For the series, the 3 guys who played the 3rd, 4th, and 5th highest minutes managed to score a combined 25.5 points on sub 40% TS. 29% FG% and 28% 3pt%.

LeBron James finished the 2015 NBA Finals with averages of 35.8 points, 13.3 rebounds, and 8.8 assists per game.

LeBron James is the first player in NBA Finals history to lead both teams in points, assists and rebounds for the entire series.

Without James on the floor, Cleveland
