Series Thread: NBA Finals: Warriors vs Cavaliers

[trojanfan12]

I'm growing more and more grateful for last year's victory every day.

As much as this sucks... it would suck so much more if the Warriors were on the verge of 3-peating on the Cavs' ass.

They'd be the NBA version of the Buffalo Bills. lol

so, where ARE the dick riders this morning...?

20 years from now, if we look for NBA duo's of 2 players who are both top-25 all time players, I think this will be the list:

#1) Magic & Kareem
#2) Curry & Durant
#3) West & Wilt
#4) Kobe & Shaq

Put #4 at #1

Put it this way, if they had co-existed they would have had at least 6 in a row.

Cavs shoot 0-for-8 during Warriors' 11-0 closing run

Where is that 'lebron is the most clutch player ever' thread?

Well, he's the one that said "Look at me, do I look tired?" This game was different however. Kyrie went superhuman, had help from bench, and he didn't consistently guard KD until the 4th. He was phenomenal in the first half, but from the end of the 2nd quarter on to the end, got passive and looked gassed. It's almost as if all he has is one super human dominant half in him. If that's the case, he should of been coming out passive in the first half, and saving it for the 2nd half.

Most people will argue he has a very high bball IQ. But I wonder...because ALL of the other greats understood how to insert themselves in games & WHEN it's time to take over that game. NONE of them have exerted all of their energy during the first 3 quarters of a game...with nothing left for the last 5 minutes in the 4th. How come he couldn't assess that this game was going to be close down the stretch & that his team would need him to take over in the end?

At what point in a game that involving Lebron James does he have time to save energy?


He sat down last night with his team leading 31-29

a minute later they were losing 37-31

Thats just last night, that pretty much sums up this entire series when he tries to steal a breather

Pat Riley said it and its true, as much as people hate Lebron, no superstar has ever been asked to do more for his team

 

[LAD]

Wonderful, and after Shaq left, he accomplished nothing until Bron arrived, and after Bron left, he accomplished nothing

And Bron hadn't won prior to playing with Wade either....so the point?

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

And Bron hadn't won prior to playing with Wade either....so the point?

But he has since he left, hasnt he?

Which is probably the clearest evidence who was most responsible for the winning in Miami

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Nobody going to mention that hilarious lebron-flop when he colluded with TT in the first quarter?

 

[bksballer89]

I mean it is clear Lebron was more responsible for the winning in Miami especially in 2013. Wade did play a pretty big part in 2012 though. He was at the end of his prime that year.

 

[LAD]

He'll never win another ring? Shit you can see into the future? That's pretty damn cool. Well tell me who's gonna win it all the next couple of years in the NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, CFB, CBB, college baseball & rowing. I could make some serious money on this in Vegas!

Here you go moochin again!

Exactly. He only missed 2 minutes of the entire Game. The Cavs were -13 in those 2 minutes.

 

[bksballer89]

I feel like Lebron defense on KD eventual game winning 3 was pretty poor

They were looking like OKC did in round 1 whenever Russ went to the bench.

 

[gordontrue]

I agree, mainly because they were down by 2. If he closes out harder, KD probably goes around him, which is probably why he didn't.

But in that situation, its better to let him drive and tie the game then give him a shot at winning it.

LBJ doesn't have to do EVERYTHING in the first half. Maybe if he used that pea brain once in a while he would understand that's why he has team mates. These are guys HE PICKED. He needs to trust them & accept the results either way.

Exactly. You can't give KD that space there in a 2 point game. Gotta force him to drive. Needed to guard him tighter there
