Why doesn't Lebron...

Stop looking to get his faggy teammates (sans Kyrie) involved every possession? I have counted 7 times tonight where he gave up a shot so he could dish it to a teammate to get the EXACT same shot.
He just needs to fucking lower his shoulder and take it to the rack... He is virtually unstoppable when he does that. He either scores or gets fouled, a lot of the times its both.
He needs to give up some assists and just scored 40 every night.

In hindsight Lebron has zero rings if Ray Allen misses a shot and the Thunder aren't the Thunder. He's done as little as possible with his talents.
But then again Jordan was smart enough to surround himself with tough and gritty guys, Lebron isn't. Jordan did all he could to win, Lebron wants to be liked, that's the difference. Jordan >> James.
But at the very least putting Bosh and Love in the same sentence is a joke. Bosh sacrificed the sexy parts of his game to win. Love just sucks.
He keeps getting a pass for 95, but Jordan lost to the Magic in his prime in the playoffs.
He's not 6 for 6.
BUT would you rather see him get his shitty teammates involved (which got the Cavs a halftime lead) or watch him and Kyrie play ridiculous iso ball the entire 4th quarter that leads to nothing offensively. Neither are gonna win them the series. Blame that on Ty Lue not creating a consistent offense.
Watch what happens when he goes to the basket ... he is lacking right now in the final burst whether it is that last step, the explosion to elevate, etc. to the point that not only is he getting shots blocked that he used to never even get considered blocked (I'm thinking Draymond's help defense block on a layup last night), but he's also having to double clutch, etc. when looking for opportunities to pass in deep. You're also seeing a lot of examples of him trying to shoot shots going away from the basket instead of going in and he's also definitely not looking to absorb as much contact as he used to. I'd say that a good number of those passes are driven by the fact that LBJ knows he's lost something ... whatever that something is in his game. When you add to the fact that he's never been known to have a strong jump shot game and we're starting to get to the point where LBJ is a facilitator first and scorer second IMO.
He'll still be a very good player for another few years because he'll still be a terrible matchup for a lot of 4's in the league ... but make no mistake that LBJ is now a 4 in the league.
