Okay sure, he missed two critical free throws and a jumper to win the game. BUT in this game he actually took the big shots. This was his best game in the clutch. He dropped 28 points and was super aggressive. I was very impressed and said so…
"To all the people that will clown LeBron James about the misses in free throws and the last shot I say this… SO WHAT?!!!! This is basketball, players miss shots. But unlike the last two games, LeBron James was WILLING to take the free throws and the last shot. Did he do this in the first two games? No."
Let’s skip Phoenix. The game was over in the first five seconds. Denver? Now Lance owns that one!
The Rematch vs. San Antonio…
LeBron James accomplished a lot in this game rewriting the history books…
He passed a Lakers icon Shaquille O’Neal for all time field goals made…

Then he passes Dirk Nowitzki on the all time scoring list…
Two more for @kingjames to move up the all-time list!#LakeShow (📺: @SpectrumSN) pic.twitter.com/90IEitNbbL

In a back and forth game that again was winnable for the Lakers, even though LeBron James scored 11 points in the last frame. DeMar DeRozan takes over the game and leads the Spurs to victory.
My issue was not with James on the offensive end. it was on the defensive. Instead of taking the challenge and stopping the Spurs best player, that responsibility was left to a second year player in Josh Hart.
35 points, 11 rebounds adds to another loss.
