Wait so Lebron shot 44% against the Bulls

[longtime lurker]

I wasn't able to follow the series closely but if this had been Melo Kobe or Westbrook this board would have been flooded with threads trolling. Also to all the nerds that think FG% is the only indicator of success have to say about this? Was Lebron inefficient? Was he a detriment to his team should he have passed up all those shots to the Birdman or Norris Cole?

Lebron was the best player in the series and this is not a thread to hate on him I'm just trying to figure out the contradictions on this site

They won.

Melo shot under 40% before yesterday you troll. I think thats worse than 44%

Who the f*ck cares, they beat the bulls in 5! That's actually amazing that he shot that bad yet won in the end

That's about your boy Kobe's career average

Came here to post this. It's only noteworthy because Lebron did it. If those other guys he named had, no one would bat an eye because it's their career average

Just goes to show what kind of standard the truly great ones are held to

They won.

Kobe and Westbrook have shot around that too and won yet they still get shit on.

Nope it's note worthy because according to insidehoops FG% is the only thing that matters. Lebron shooting 44% isn't actually relevant to whether the Heat win or lose

LBJ's lack of mid range shot hurt him in that series. Now I know he has improved his mid range shot but for some reason, he did not have any confidence to shoot it.

Because he wasn't taking "ill advised shots"

So if the Heat had lost how much blame would go on the FG% and how much blame would be on his teammates?

If the Heat lost, most of the blame would go on Lebron. That's how it always is.

Why is everyone so enamored with field goal percentage these days? Why wasn't DeAndre Jordan and Tyson Chandler all of your favorite players over the past 2 years then?

Wait, there are people who think FG% is the ONLY means to an end? That's news to me.

+1

24 points on 44% fg, 16 shots per game, 8 apg, 7 rpg, 2 spg, 2.6 turnovers per game is a bad series for Lebron. That is how good he is.
