LMAO, Lebon misses his second dunk tonight. Now he gives the Suns a 4 point swing

Come on Lebron, chit.

why cant i criticize something without you calling it hate. i dotn hate anyone. its just sports my man

i disagree with you that he is a good shooter, thats all

Of course it's all just debating but I showed you his percentage from 3. It is the same as Kobe's??? His FG% is better than Kobe's.

Facts don't lie... maybe you don't like his form but you can't deny that he's hitting those shots.

allright
then disregard threes
what about any shots inside the line outside the lane

he aint close to kobe or wade

Using a FG% to show if a guy can shoot or not is poor use of stats.

Let's go James time to get hot

I agree. I cringe everytime he pulls up to shoot, especially from 3. but his stats aren't as bad as it seems.

I wish the Cav's would post him up down low and he would take his man ala Adrian Dantley. I think Mike Brown just sits back and watch versus actually coaching.

**ryanXL977** · 03-13-09, 12:12 AM

ok, thats what i meant to say then
he is awesome, just not a good midrange shooter

agree?

go cavs
go cuse

I agree using just fg% but not from the 3 point line. Regular FG% doesn't differentiate a 2 foot jumper from a 15 foot mid range but you can't fool the 3 point line. If a guy shoots a high percentage from 3 and he's had significant attempts than he's a good 3 point shooter.

Look at Matt Bonner, He has what looks like terrible form but everyone knows he can shoot the 3. He's shooting 0.475 from 3. he shoots 0.511 from FG%. He's probably a better 3 point shooter than mid range.

I think the same for Lebron. His 3 point percentage is equal to a bunch of top shooters. I just think he's a better 3 point shooter than mid range. Many young guys have the same problem. They practice the 3 more than the 10 foot shot. Once lebron develops a mid range he's going to be deadly. Wade was considered a better mid range shooter and not a good 3 point shooter. Well he's working on his range and has improved in the last year.

I'd rather have Lebron take a 3 than Wade but Wade take the mid range than Lebron. I would however rather have Kobe take both.

But if I was starting a team, Lebron would be my first choice, no question.

id agree with all that

Suns look done

**rowdy08** · 03-13-09, 12:25 AM

Alright guys I'm out till tomorrow afternoon

**Mac4Lyfe** · 03-13-09, 12:26 AM

Well one thing about the Cav's... They lead the league in covering ATS. They don't make it look pretty at times but they've been cash money covering some ridiculous lines at times.

However, since the All Star break they have been consistently getting killed inside the paint. It's not a good trend. They remind me of the Dallas Mav's, making all their shots from outside which is great for the regular season but will be one and done come playoffs. They better find a way to fix this real quick.

Lebron gets his 3rd straight triple double on the last play of the game...

Time to cash this bitch
