Let me give you a hint, that's the highest shot attempt since the 2013 finals against the Spurs. He's only shot more than that 4 times in the playoffs since 2008.
That's sort of the problem, though. LeBron has not been challenged hardly at all in this series, which is why he's been able to attempt so many shots without using up much of his energy, allowing him to also play a lot of minutes.
LeBron can get a good jumpshot or get to the rim pretty much at will against this team.
That's not the story he's painting. The story he's painting is that LeBron is doing nothing out there but involving his teammates, that he only gets involved when he's needed... yet he needed to do that 26 times, one of the highest shot attempts during his career, in the last game.
Can't have it both ways. Either he's being involved or he isn't, which is it. And it contradicts the story he's painting of being blown out in every game, yet they needed LeBron's 26 shots last game to pull them through.
Lebron obviously makes an impact any time he's on the court. Even 60% lebron is a difference maker. I'm saying that we haven't gotten 100% lebron in this series because there has been no reason for him to show up. This series is a layup.
The problem is that you are making LeBron into someone he's not. He very rarely goes all out, even in tough games, so you can't use that as a benchmark.
That's been part of his problem. He improved on that a couple of years ago during the playoff series against us, but he's still a player that disappears often. He doesn't dominate how very well he could and should. It is who he is.
