lebron trash passing lost that game

The 3rd and 4th quarters of this game is an example of the type of game that validates detractors of LeBron James.

He was never aggressively looking for his own shot, he forced passes causing turnovers, he was overly unselfish feeding Love when it was clear he didn't have it tonight, he shied away from the ball in crunch moments. Down 1 with the ball why is Wade the primarily playmaker and taking a 25 foot 3? It was a petty bad game to say the least.

For as great as LeBron is I think he tends to overthink the game against tough defenses as opposed to going into attack mode (which is what Jordan, Kobe, Kyrie and guys with a scorers mentality would do). I think there's time where there's just more value in a guy like LeBron just deciding to take over as opposed to being passive.

We all knew that coming into the season and he's had trouble with that all season, he's still putting up numbers and changing the culture in Philly though.

It's close but I don't think Mitchell is the favorite per se.


Embiid changed the culture in Philly and Benjamin is benefiting from it.

There's a reason they rarely win when he's not playing or off the court (although they're probably going to beat the Nuggets tonight given they have a 5 point lead with 2 minutes to go)

Ben sat out all them games like an idiot to try and get that Nike check. Won't even get it. If he came back at an acceptable time last year he might have gotten it too.
