Quote:When LBJ's jumper is on like last night, he is unstoppable, but if you roll under screens and make him take the jumper, you are going to win more than you lose. I believe his career FG % is under 50%, but improving every year.

 

Lack of competition in the Eastern Conference has put LBJ is a much better position to succeed, but if the Heat were in the West, I don't see how they could possibly have 4 straight NBA finals appearances. IMO, if he leaves MIA, he would be dumb not to go to an Eastern Conference team.

 

On a final note, not to take anything away from LBJ's defense, because when he puts forth the effort, he can lock down anybody in the NBA, BUT, he certainly gets the favorable non-calls when it comes to aggressiveness. I think if Kawhi Lenoard can stay out of foul trouble and stay on the floor, the Spurs have a chance.
