No
How to get swept 101
Bron should not shoot those. he also shouldn’t have to guard 300 pound Jokic.
He ain’t Lebron James anymore. He’s your regular run of the mill nba player. Time to acknowledge that he needs to move to a rondo role
Fuck it 0-3 on sat then. Shoot your shots bron lol
Yeah no, that’s Russ kind of mentality
nah reaves you should be taking those 3s instead
Austin is a Kobe Stan but he can’t say the truth lmao
Lakers fans bout to turn on Austin Reaves for this comment
Yea we’re cooked
Yeah reaves isn’t going to call out lebron publicly but everyone knows what the deal is. He can’t drive as much anymore due to age and injuries, still don’t know why that means he has to be one of the worst high volume 3pt shooters of all time.
That’s why we getting swept.
I find us hard on Bron. Lets compare his stats with AD , its night and day
Lmao Reaves has to say this tho. He’s not about to say anything negative about his teammates for sound bites.
Anyway, Bron is getting cooked online/Twitter so hopefully that lights a fire under his ass next game. Nuggets players are being smart, unlike Warriors and Grizzles, so we can only rely on social media to “poke the bear”.
Not when the dude is 0% in the first two games
Idiotic. Hell shoot you out the series if you let him.
Sure, let him shoot the team out of the playoffs..smh
There’s nothing reaves can say y’all. This is the correct PR answer
Lebron has had nothing but yes men around him his entire career with the exception of Miami
He shot us out of the game this time.
Bruh lmao, what the fuck
We’re really about get swept
I mean I get reaves not being the one to say it but AD is the best player on the team and TT is a veteran presence who’s Lebrons friend and a vet. We also have something called a head coach. One of those three got to tell him during film straight up
Denver is saying the same thing lol let him shoot all he wants. It’s LeBron James (and his awful 3 point %).
We’re not winning.
Stop enabling this bullshit
This is a nice take but for real he shouldn’t shoot another 3 again until he gets his foot surgery. It’s obviously fucked.
I mean what else are you gonna say if you’re Austin
Can we start a petition to make Austin serveas Lebron’s “Chucking up 3’s” proxy? Any time Bron feels like chucking one he can pass to Reaves who will chuck on his behalf.
This is Austin’s worst miss of the series. Lebron is a choke artist this series.
Bro, I’m more comfortable that you shoot a fadeaway 3 than a wide open 3s from Bron. Literally hasn’t hit anything this series.
Nah.
Lebron’s better than the mess he’s throwing up.
But the times when Lebron ran point with Rui in the line up was working. Not sure why they went away from that.
Well atleast he used to be
When Bron was at his peak he wouldn’t settle for some many of these let’s be honest with ourselves
Nooooo 😭😭 somebody needs to tell him the truth wtf😂😂
He needs to choose his battles. Can’t play hero against an efficient team like Denver every game, especially when one’s forcing things.
Yeah… Just not those 3s
He’s a winning player because he makes winning decisions. Taking those shots are not winning decisions.
No man
This sub is straight up disgusting. This team would have finished 20 under .500 without LeBron giving everything to the team. Get off the ledge, losers.
What is AR supposed to say? LBJ’s 3ptr is a testament to his old age. It’s basically a turnover when he shoots one.
I mean look, I don’t agree, but Austin Reaves is not going to start shit-talking LeBron and he’s wise not to. He never had anything negative to say about Westbrook either, whatever he might have thought.
Well, what else is he supposed to say? We expect Bron to know better.
What do you all want him to say? “I’ll trade this bum next season.”
It’s incredible that they’re asking Austin reavers about LEBRON JAMES taking too make shots or bad shots
