Back when he was young, I thought Bron's numbers would fall off a cliff when he started losing his explosiveness. The guy has become pretty damn skilled and is doing a very good job compensating for this though.

The best part is, he's only going to get better as the season goes on. He will really turn it on once the playoffs start approaching.

Hated some of his threes, but he scored when it mattered. He's pretty clearly coasting, as has been the case this early in the season for some years now.

He's off athletically right now, but that's typical of him since 2015. It's impressive that his TS% is at 60% in a season in which he's shooting poorly at the rim (second worst in his career) and from three (right over 30%).

His efficiency should climb as the season progresses.

As he should, other guys just need to step up on defense. It's all about the playoff

Dude’s gotta make end of game FT’s. I know he had the put back dunk and that was great, but he’s not always going to get that. This gives teams incentive to foul him at the end of games and take their chance at the line. No less, thought he had a solid game. Chandler saved the day

Missed free throw but redemeed himself with an offensive rebound and the game winning dunk!

Old Man James couldn't close it out, again. Luckily Kuzma got the board and put up a shot. He was solid for 3 and a half quarters tho.

Those late game free throws are ugly, but I am subject and L.A. BRON is The King!

I Don't really get how yaking up bad shots is coasting. I can see the uneven effort on defense. But he's just missing shots. And the FTs...

He's killing our pace lately, as well as our offense.

***Disclaimer: Lebron is a beast. But he's playing at 50% and it's annoying when it affects our pace and motion on offense.

Jacking up 3s like farewell tour Kobe who couldn't blow by anyone anymore. Bron looked old and slow against (bleep) Vince Carter.

Although he shot 50%, he was 3/9 from 3. 30% in today’s league won’t cut it, especially when Trae Young and Prince can’t miss. Still, I’ll take 50% I guess

Even Lebron must know that the entire team just clearing out for him on every possession isn't sustainable. It's difficult to watch a team that seems to literally have no half-court offensive sets at all.

And the last 15 seconds. I mean he did make the game winning putback dunk.

He does look slow...I mean significantly slower than he did last season. It’s too early to judge and consider him Wizards LeBron, so time will tell if he’s just coasting now to preserve energy for post all star break, which is probably what he’s doing.

He's not the same guy who could get to the rim at will for a decade.

Only at LG we complain about a player when everyone else thinks is still the best player.

Yes, he does that every season. Plus the first season with a new team makes it an even slower start. The experienced Heat started 9-8 in 2010 and the Cavs in 2014 started even worse than that.
