Ty Lues line ups have nothing to do with the leader of the team giving minimum effort

If the leader is out there half assing, so will the rest

Amazing that Rozier's 2 game sample size might not be an accurate representation of his ability, and maybe his career 37% FG is more accurate

Do you guys watch or both of you close your eyes when Lebron is doing something bad?

Im the one who should be laughing for you guys literally running away from the truth. His effort has been laughable

lebron playing hard won't make IT, JR, Wade, Tristan, Love, korver, Frye suddenly become good defenders

Have you ever seen star players on shitty teams? Cause that's what this is right now

Stop trying to create a lebron narrative

Lebron has issues but let's not blame the defense on him

Again, when the leader of the team is giving half effort and seems like hes checked out mentally, it rubs off on everyone

They were playing good basketball when he was playing good basketball. Stop blaming this on bad defense, this is an overall team effort thing, and it starts with the leader

Last 2 or 3 weeks lebron has not been playing up to his standards and it has hurt them. Simple. Lebron and people need to stop pointing fingers at everyone but Lebron, thats the annoying narrative. His fault just as much

like I said, he's not blameless

But even Crowder has been good and you just don't notice because they suck

And you just edited saying lets not blame the defense on Lebron and you just exposed yourself

You dont watch

Defense is where hes to blame a lot bc he gives zero effort on that side

Whatever dude

Not sure if MJ took it easy. Winning rings at the age of 33 or 34 and playing elite defense at this age

Not sure if Kobe took it easy, rupturing his achilles playing 40 minutes a night just for wins in the regular season

But fuck it, its Lebron. He can sit back relax and he’s still the goat

Nothing is more annoying when guys want to be great and they dont give their entire effort and love to the game and cheat it. MJ and Kobe NEVER cheated the game. Gave it their all every single game.

Will never be the goat with his mentality, never

What does that have to do with giving it his all every single game

We’re gonna crown longevity now? Good for Lebron that hes played this long but the reason hes played this long because he coasts in the regular season. Dont remember mj or kobe coasting just to rest up for the playoffs lol. This coasting mentality that he has installed into people is seriously dumb as shit

but at the same time, we get these conversations every regular season about lebron's team not being that good, due to the coasting. and while they've never been THIS bad, they always come right back in the playoffs and destroy everyone in the east and make the finals
 
everyone will forget about this stretch if/when they beat Toronto and Boston in the playoffs en-route to the Warriors
