LeBron's Stat Line....Game 5?

• ironman02

  I'll say 25 pts, 8 assts, and 8 rebs. Heat win a close game.
• karen lotz

  

  If he goes off for 35 or more, the Heat won't win. Actually more like 30+. Anything more than that when the scores are in the mid 80s and the rest of the team isn't involved enough and he will get labeled as a selfish ball hog.

  I dont think anyone has ever said that he is a selfish ball hog. His passiveness has always been questioned..even as a Cav. I know a lot of the people on here got irritated at the end of games when he would kick it out to a role player for a game winning shot attempt. I do agree however that if he goes for mid to upper 30s...the Mavs win. I think the sweet spot from a Heat perspective would be around 25/8/8.

  That may have been the most ineffective/irrelevant triple double ever.

  Another outstanding 2 point 4th quarter for the heat's regular season leading scorer.

  Sad part is, Mike & Mike brought up this morning that Jason Terry, in a 3+ minute span, almost outscored Lebron's 4th quarter total for the series last night.

  He went off for 17 and the Heat lost, if he would have went off with 35 the Heat would have won by 9. Good Call.

  You know for sure if he scores 35 they win by 9? I'm still waiting on the Lakers to turn it on. Good Call.

• thavoice

  Wow. 17 points.
  
  2 in the 4th? I guess he only scored two more points than anyone on OC did!

  Yeah but you didn't say if he would win or lose so your prediction doesn't count .
• thavoice

  WHen people were raving about Rodman and Rebounds I said this.....I think any NBA player who busts their ass and plays significant minutes should be able to get 10 boards in agame, except maybe a guard who is most responsible for being back to protect the fast break.
  
  LaBrum James should be able to get 10 boards in his sleep.

  While definitely helped by hustle, there is much more to rebounding than that.
• BR1986FB

  Rodman was only 6'7" but he was a master at rebounding. Believe he claimed to know the angle/trajectory that the ball would carom when it left the shooters hand. Dude may have been a whack job but I respected the way he hustled (most of the time).

  When it's 17/10/10 and you pull a vanishing act during the clutch minutes of the fourth quarter. Such as (from a Yahoo column) "In the final five minutes, 59 seconds, James missed two of his three shots, had no assists, no rebounds and a turnover."

  Maybe not completely ineffective, but ponder this:
  
  Lebron James: 46 minutes, 17 points/10 reb/10ast/4to
  Mario Chalmers: 23 minutes, 15 points/4reb/2ast/1to
  JJ Barea: 26 mintutes, 17 points/2 reb/5ast/1to
  
  I'd say if it is possible to be ineffective while putting up a triple-double, Lebron James accomplished that last night. Maybe not ineffective, but definitely inefficient.

• hross34

  I think that lebron was missing in action for the entire series where he should come up big time.
  
  I think he made his presence felt earning that triple double but even with that performance, no one's going to forget that he had a career low 8 points for the past game.
  
  I think the bar was just set too high for him to live up to. It really is a different high when you are in the finals and big time players step up while the rest are in a level field.
