Cavs: Lebron in these Finals..

[AaronY]

39.8% FG against a team that stopped playing any shot blockers halfway thru the series too. truly amazing

[Malik Hairston]

40% FG on a 45% usage rate against the #1 D in the NBA with no system and Mozgov as your 2nd best player is pretty good, tbh..

You don't need to be double teamed to be swarmed. The shooters shot terrible, when they aren't a threat his courtvision becomes obsolete and the help defenders can be that much more agressive.

and another cup for the Bron haters.

This is the kind of coverage Lebron was seeing all series and Kerr never went away from it. This isn't getting swarmed. This was Lebron having all kinds of space to do what he wanted and he threw up a lot of dumb shots. If anything the Warriors gave Lebron's teammates too much respect and stuck with them instead of swarming Lebron.

needing super friends team to at least get 2...

According to sports scientists that gathered this week, Lebron's workload was inhumane in this series..

I especially noticed this to begin the 2nd half.
The Cavs had just chopped a 15 point lead down to a tie.
Then they went ahead the 1st couple trips to start the 2nd half.

Then......LeBron i thought he was gonna take over.
Instead the Cavs ran some f'd up offense where Mozgov would go stand in the corner trey area and LeBron tossed it out to him. A couple times. One clank, one turnover after Mozgov lost the ball and the Golden gots were up by 5 just like that.

Huge turning point, the turning point IMO.
Was LeBron just gassed?

Nobody is saying he didn't take his fair share of bad shots. What player doesn't? Not to mention the fact that that's not even his strength or where he spent most of his time. He's at his best up top, attacking/reading the defense. When he penetrated the help defenders collapsed on him and it resulted in either a difficult shot for him or a kickout for one of his teammate's bricks.

Exactly.
Just because Golden State was not "doubling" LeBron, the help guys were able to cheat off big time.
For F's sake Delly would just hold the ball like a hot potatoe and then just dump it off and go stand around like a dumbf. Delly was zero offensive threat. Never mind his zero points, he presented zero threat.
Made it wayyy easier to defend LeBron. Who also got burned out of prolly at least 5 assists after he made excellent passes that Cav botched the layup or turned the ball over.

Blattovich sticking with Delly and JR DumbF while keeping Mike Miller chained to the bench. Ya that really helped LeBron too.

Yeah, Lebron got plenty of one on one matchups in this series. He wasn't swarmed by any means. I was surprised how much space the Warriors gave him to operate.

Boom.

LeBron is not a very good iso player and has a mediocre faceup J. Warriors took advantage and played him straight up almost the entire series. Props to Iggy and even Barnes for playing him so well.

LeBron is best off the pnr, where his court vision and exclusive ability are almost peerless. When you relegate him to isos you get an inefficient result.

[TDfan2007]

With that said, LeBron's backcourt was embarrassingly bad all series. One of the worst backcourt performances I've ever seen.

LeBron was in an impossible situation and made it compe ive with his total game. People comparing him to Kobe might want to stop, because Kobe was never a nightly triple double threat.

If anything LeBron played like a smarter westbrook.
