Nobody talks about the Speights missed, uncontested dunk to end the 3rd.

I'll bet the Warriors would like to have those 2 points on the scoreboard though.

Just like the Cavs would like those 2 points they took from Mozgov back game 1.

So, Lebron > Jordan because he's been the last loser more times?

...umm, no.

No, but he shouldnt be ridiculed for losing in the Finals when he basically willed a couple of his teams there.

Crap...in the grand scheme of the series...1 game means nothing, but in this case I think it does mean something. GS was being handled on their home floor w/o Love or Irving...that has to put some fear into them that they can get beat in this series if they don't bring it...more pressure on GS now...I'm anxious to see how they handle it.

Yes good point but like some one mention before GS gives up or plays 1 bad game a series and lets a game slip away. Lets also forget they came back down 11 with 3 min left. Its not like they blew a 11pt lead.

Tonight will be a telling sign.

You can also bet your life savings Lebron won't shoot 11-35 again.

why not he has done it in back to back game almost.

But also the fact that they got down 11 to a depleted team says a lot too. Yes they had resilience but I guess like you said we will see how they play in their first road Finals game.

He shot nearly 50%, before OT he was actually over 50%.

Im sorry but Miami should of never lost 2 Finals. Also Lets see if LBJ can win 3 in a row before calling his name with other greats. The last 2 Kobe, and MJ won 3 in a row. I think u need to do that at least or have a winning record in the Finals.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I did. It epitomized the whole Warrior effort in that game. How in the hell can a guy who is 6'10" not be able to dunk with a running start on a breakaway?

He can dunk.
Ball just hit the rim at a weird angle.

You don't need to throw 'it down'.

Just slam it through..

If GS loses I think they might be in trouble and they will start to believe they might not be able to beat LBJ kind of like how Durant and that OKC team felt. After losing 2 in a row OKC was done. U saw in their faces that they were beat.

He shot nearly 50%, before OT he was actually over 50%.

what game are you talking about because the last game he missed 17 of his last 20 shots. No way he was over 50% maybe in the 1st Q and 2ndQ. That is why they play 4Q and sometimes OT. its still part of the game.

Plus he is 2-28(again not 100%) under 3:30 min in game 1 and game 2. One of his baskets was a lay up in Game 1 OT when the game was over.

Ridiculed?

Um, I have stated, REPEATEDLY, that Lebron is the best player in the NBA.

The fact that I personally believe he is not in Jordan's class is my opinion, and debatable.

Again, like I said a few days ago, if he pulls a rabbit out of his ass and wins a ring with this motely crew, my opinion will be completely different.

Hell yes. I know a few people headed to the game.

They have zero chance of winning if Lebron doesn't go all Allen Iverson every game.

So, you live with his shooting woes.

He has to force shots. So, you live with it.

Hey, baby. Got some fries to go with that shake?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I will take the opposite end of that. What are the odds like +920?

You're a hair off.

Slinkster!

How are you?

[Sgt Brutus]

Cousin works a bar a block away for the Q and Jacobs, I remember for opening day this year every place was packed wall to wall

Cleveland sure does drink
