lol it's just fatigue

k3vin k., Tuesday, 9 June 2015 17:13 (eight years ago) link

or just a cold streak

Spottie, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 17:50 (eight years ago) link

its a pretty astoundingly awful streak, brons ability to be effective through it with a xtremely depleted team is vv impressive

lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 18:00 (eight years ago) link

yeah super impressed with what they've accomplished. if they somehow win this series I'm saying he's the goat

Spottie, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 18:09 (eight years ago) link

well, it would certainly erase any uncertainty left over from bron's shaky start this season

Aimless, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 18:11 (eight years ago) link

well he's still murder in the post and the warriors are letting him get there whenever he wants

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 9 June 2015 18:13 (eight years ago) link

Yes but Jordan never went to the juiceman.

questionable

yeah feeling like a change in defensive approach might be in order

lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 18:17 (eight years ago) link

but still

lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 18:17 (eight years ago) link

serious question, do any of Lebron's teams in his 12 years make it past the 1st round of the playoffs without him? besides maybe like the 11-12 Heat?

frogbs, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 18:22 (eight years ago) link

wld be true of p much any finals team minus their best player

lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 18:24 (eight years ago) link

have people forgotten that Tyronn Lue basically stifled Iverson in that series (arguably due to helpful officiating)?

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 18:40 (eight years ago) link

My theory re bron's shooting is that all the juice has made him more powerufl but he hasn't been able to adjust his shooting touch to accomodate the extra strnegth

he was a better shooter last year when he was way bigger

I bet we see some stretches of full on ball denial and preemptive double teaming tonight to try to frustrate him into taking more jump shots. Might even throw both bigs at him if/when Tristan is the 5

juice college (agent hibachi), Tuesday, 9 June 2015 18:48 (eight years ago) link

Also Steph better stop playing like a shook ass mark asap

juice college (agent hibachi), Tuesday, 9 June 2015 18:49 (eight years ago) link

need to get the time haters to whip him into shape

He was at peak juice then but then deflated, maybe deflating and rejuicing has led to the shakiness

, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 19:18 (eight years ago) link

i don't think you're far off - i think he went back on some kind of juice by the all-star break

i dont think theres any easy explanation for why bron is shooting so terribly its prob a combination of things he has i feel like always been streaker than most and was never pure

lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 19:19 (eight years ago) link

his form is bad for sure

, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 19:20 (eight years ago) link

People have down years shooting the ball too. If Ray Allen can have one anyone can.

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 19:21 (eight years ago) link

I think Lebron's shooting form is fine, he just floats and fades a little too much (something he cut out in Miami)

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 19:21 (eight years ago) link

It's not like he shoots gross line drives like kobels

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 19:22 (eight years ago) link

he's also been playing on a scrap heap team for like the entire playoffs

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 9 June 2015 19:30 (eight years ago) link

def a factor, but hes missed a ton of easy looks too

lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 19:31 (eight years ago) link

his shooting has always been finicky but def in the last few miami years their system was so smooth that i think he was just in a perpetual rhythm, whereas with the cavs everything is still kinda herky-jerky even when they clicked later in the season

like you see him taking a lot of shots in these games where he comes off a pick and roll and like, takes a step towards the basket then resets and stops for a beat and shoots a jumper

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 9 June 2015 19:36 (eight years ago) link

ya tru

lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 19:40 (eight years ago) link

Steph's numbers post-fall are bad

Field goal shooting: 26-of-73, 35.6%
3-Point shooting: 10-of-36, 27%

Spottie, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:00 (eight years ago) link

it's also a really small sample size

, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:02 (eight years ago) link

yeah of course

Spottie, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:03 (eight years ago) link

but it makes me nervous

Spottie, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:03 (eight years ago) link

yeah cld easily see his body being not quite right after that

lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:04 (eight years ago) link

landed on his arm really awkwardly too, surprised he didn't mess that up

brownie, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:04 (eight years ago) link

he needs to stage another fall. a fall like the one that made him good at basketball, though.

Mr. Murphy in the wine bar. (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:05 (eight years ago) link

he came back and hit like 5 three's the game

, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:05 (eight years ago) link

rip

brownie, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:05 (eight years ago) link

shoulder arm head, also just takes your brain a while to get mentally on track and not feel like you are gonna get injured every time you get after it

Spottie, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:06 (eight years ago) link

he came back and hit like 5 three's the game

adrenaline?

Spottie, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:06 (eight years ago) link

basically we are due a great curry game tonight

Spottie, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:06 (eight years ago) link

dubs just need to play like they did the last 3 mins of regulation and they will win 400-15

lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:09 (eight years ago) link

lmao

Spottie, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:09 (eight years ago) link

Mr. Murphy in the wine bar. (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:14 (eight years ago) link

if the warriors play like they did in the final seconds of the 3rd quarter in game 2 then the Cavs win 86-0

brownie, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:14 (eight years ago) link

if every play for both teams are mo speights missed dunks the final score will be 0-0

lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:15 (eight years ago) link

i'll take it
