NBA Finals: Cleveland Cavs VS Golden State Warriors

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Interesting....they wouldn't budge for the #3.

I don't know shit about players in the draft but isn't there a supposed huge drop off after 1-2?

You said the decline is already in progress, despite the fact he just had arguably the greatest Finals performance of any player in the history of the NBA. That is not the sign of a player in decline. Pretty simple stuff here. Are you able to respond to a post without flying off the handle?

Lord knows why, but i'll try ONE more time...

yes, he pushed himself to some VERY high finals numbers. tell me what that has to do with his talents declining...

you think he's the same high flyer he was in Miami...?

if so, I have some beachfront property in Arizona to sell you...

edit: for the record it's a sports message board. it'd take one HELLUVA lot more than whatever itis you YOU have to make me "fly off the handle", tiresome...

That's what I've been reading. Seems like it's basically:

Simmons/Ingram










Dunn/Bender/Brown/Hield/Murray/Chriss




Everyone else.

Chriss belongs with the everyone else.

Do I think he's the same high flyer he was in Miami? I'd say his block on Iggy should answer that. You should see the sports science on it, he defies logic with what he can do.

Besides, what indication is there that his talents are declining based on what he just did? Are you saying he managed to become the first player to lead the entire Finals in all 5 major categories just on will?

Also, this is technically beachfront property in Arizona, and I'll take it.

He definitely seems the most raw, but I've seen several mocks with him in the top 5.

Come on?
Greatest performance ever?
Great comeback and he was awesome but they were down 1-3 and won in the last minute with him not making the shot.

Nope, he actually still made plenty of his famous chasedown blocks throughout the Finals and the playoffs in general. He also threw down plenty of thunderous dunks like he always has. I'm beginning to think you have no idea what you're talking about...

him AND Wiggy's talents to embellish are astronomical...

What performance was better? Who is the other player ever who led both teams in all 5 major offensive categories (let alone when the opposing team has the 2-time defending MVP and just set the record for most wins in a season)?

bottom line. dude's gonna be 32 this year...

that means 2-3 years down the road he'll be FIRMLY entrenched in his mid-30's...

that time rolls around I DOUBT we'll even see THIS year's LeBron...

Wade in '06 for starters had a more dominating series IMO.
I'll let others offer there opinions/ memories.

LOL, of course he did, you're a Heat fan. They also were facing a dramatically inferior opponent to whom Cleveland just faced. Had Wade done what Lebron just did in any of his Finals, you'd call it the most dominant.

29.7/11.3/8.9/2.6/2.3

34.7/7.8/3.8/2.7/1.0

The bolded one is the correct answer for "Which was better".

Glad you're thinking for me again, and aren't you the person who doesn't watch much basketball?

You're entitled to your opinion though.

Now, see? This I can agree with. When Lebron is 35, chances are we won't see the historically good Lebron we just saw. Perfectly fair assessment.

I don't follow draft picks either but I think I heard something similar.

Start a poll with great performances?
Not sure what you want from me.

And, stats are nice, but James padded his late in some games and especially game 4.
Right?

And there were even more made AGAINST him that were not called fairly...
