LeBron James


King Taharqa

Recommended Posts

This will be my official "LeBron watch" thread for the 09-10 season. Tonight LeBron looked GREAT against a very good Celtics team. He dropped 38 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 blocked shots, and 2 steals. The guy's J looks alot better and he shot it with alot more confidence tonight. If this guy gets his J in consistent form, watch out league. The Cavs bench was outscored heavily by the Celtics bench and the team still has trouble defending the pick n roll (Orlando killed them last year with it). The Celtics on the other hand looked sharp and with Garnett & Sheed in the front court will be a matchup problem every night.

Well we usually talk NBA in general in this forum since there is no strictly NBA forum...

Besides, what's the point in talking about the Bobcats? :lol:

So because they lost their first game of the season, on the road, and to probably the best team in the league, we should stop talking about them?

Makes sense.

King James statline of 23 points, 12 assists, and 11 rebounds in last night's loss to the Raptors was the 25th triple double of his 7 year career.

“Early in my career, I’d get very upset when you lose two or three games, you’d just feel like you can’t turn it around. But I’m at a point in my career now where I know that you can lose two but, at the same time, you don’t look too far into it. You learn from the mistakes and you just try to get better. I’m still positive. If it was 25 or 35 games into the season and we were going through a three- or four-game losing streak, then I’d be a little bit disappointed, but I’m not at this point.”

    • So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.
    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
