Lebron has played soooooo much basketball from 11-14 He already started developing back issues last season and they are back this season I honestly think Lebron doesnt really intend for a title this season. 5 straight finals is too taxing for anybody
Lol Lakers wonder how Kobe is going to like being the "man" on what could be the worst team in the league.
I said it here before and got nailed for it. When Lebron loses speed it's a wrap because he doesn't know how to use the post as big as he is. Dude boosted his expiration by losing lean muscle.
He didnt just decline this fast over a couple of months. Lebron may be a machine, but machines can be overworked too
Great numbers for Parker already: <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>The list of teenagers (since 1985) to record at least one double-double. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/OwnTheFuture?src=hash">#OwnTheFuture</a> <a href="http://t.co/ldnZhkTcJ8">pic.twitter.com/ldnZhkTcJ8</a></p>— Milwaukee Bucks (@Bucks) <a href="https://twitter.com/Bucks/status/529731497188921344">November 4, 2014</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Well so much for some of the experts saying this Cavs team could be the most efficient offense ever. They'll clearly get a LOT better, but they will also clearly have a longer adjustment period than those experts thought. I think a lot of guys thought they'd click immediately. They are currently exhibiting a lot of the same problems you saw in Miami. Can't get the 3 stars on the same page at the same time. Offensive fluidity isn't there. Defensive intensity isn't there yet. It's way way way early, but my comments are only referencing the early period.
They are in the West. The remaining schedule might not be as bad as the first few games, but they are not gonna stop playing tough teams. If the Lakers want to be competitive with Kobe, maybe they should do what Larry Brown did with the Iverson Sixers. Just get a bunch of defenders around Kobe and let him get all the touches. Who are the 2014 version of Eric Snow, Aaron McKie, Dikembe Mutombo, Theo Ratliff and Tyrone Hill?
He lost a bunch of muscle this off season. I wonder if this is sapping his explosiveness. He isn't the only player to have lost weight but his seems rather drastic. Besides, some of the other weight loss guys like Love and Tim Duncan had some body fat to lose, Lebron's weight loss seems to be a lot of muscle.
