Spoken like a true Lebron hater. Kobe wouldn't have sniffed the finals with this Cleveland team. Jordan, maybe, but I don't think he would have beaten the Warriors by himself.
Lebron also carries about 30 more lbs than Jordan or Kobe.
Good job picking 2 games out of about 100 career playoff games to prove that he gets worn out down the stretch.
Yeah, I'm not saying he had a bad game at all. He's the only reason the Cavs were in it, but I don't know how sustainable some of those shots are. I was loving see him break out his whole arsenal, the jump hooks, the step backs, the Dirk one legged fadeaway.
After last night, I'm thinking Warriors in five. I figure there's a game or two where Lebron gets his and he gets a random good game out of Smith or Delly or some random sub with a hot hand. But Golden State is just too deep. They're going to wear the Cavs down.
Yes, they are! I don't even normally care for the NBA, but I've been watching them off and on all season. (It doesn't hurt that they're a Bay Area team, which gives me an extra reason to tune in.)
What's that number going to have to be? 50 for the Cavs to win? If Golden St keeps defending the Cavs like this I wouldn't be surprised if he got that at some point this series.
Never understand why he settled for that a fade away at the end of reg. He was getting to the paint at will.

He was getting into the lane, not all the way to the rim. He only had four shots in the restricted area all night plus a lot of those were before Iguodola was on him. I agree that it wasn't a good shot though, he had time to try to back him down a couple dribbles or something.
If the warriors don't change their defensive scheme he's going to have to go for at least 40. Crazy, but if he needs 35-40 shots to get there then I think Steve Kerr will decide to live with it. He'll have to play the kind of hero ball that even Russ Westbrook would envy.
24 years ago today (which many in this thread weren't here for) this happened.

I watched that live and still have the same reaction today.
Why'd he make that so much more complicated than it needed to be?
