LeBron's late game defense

[ArbitraryWater]

Damn

Top notch late game 4th quarter defense on Jeff Green and Rajon Rondo... Game saving/changing defensive strip on Rondo's drive. Couldn't have had better positioning and timing.

He played horrible defense all night, you clowns are no better than ESPN.

1 through 5.

one of the worst defenders in the league

Haters in usual full attack after that godish performance

No shit man, the refs completely took over the game.

Yeah his defense throughout the game was pretty ass, but in the final few plays he definitely showed he still has DPOY level defense if he decides to try

Of course they did

Like when Kyrie was fouled by 2 different players and they didn't call anything..

Or when Green and Broon were in it with each other and they gave Green FT's...

What makes your statement more outrageous is that its coming from an OKC fan. Good try.

lebron isn't a good defender nor was he last year. he was excellent 2011-2013, very good in 2010, and good in 2009. before 2009 was inconsistent and lazy, after 2013 same thing

people talk about kobe but he has more great defense years than lebron. lebron right now is the same thing people criticize kobe for, inconsistent and lazy but flashy every now and then.

no doubt he will slack all game and then one two plays and people act like hes the DPOY

I agree with this sentiment, but the same should be applied to offense. One or two good plays down the stretch doesn't excuse bad offense throughout the game, nor does (for example) LeBron deferring/missing in the clutch mean he should be overly criticised if he performed well the rest of the game. I see a double standard applied to offense and defense in a lot of cases (not saying by you, but fans of both sides do it in opposite ways).
