Wait... What math am I doing again? We nerds can't think for ourselves unless fangraphs tells us to.

Im just saying who gives a flying crap about his FG percentage when the only shot Cle has to win is for LeBron to shoot a ton.

I'm not commenting in any way, shape or form about whether or not this is the right strategy.

My point, which I stated clearly earlier, was that Cleveland was winning games in this series only because Golden State was missing an abnormal amount of shots, not because LeBron has been otherworldly in the finals.

I'll tell you what. If Russel Westbrook were putting up the numbers lebron was there would be a lot of backlash against him.

Undeniably true.

Especially if he had Durant beside him.

Well, RW would never do that with Durant on the floor so the point you are trying to make is not valid.

He gets the backlash because he has Durant. James has himself.

Westbrook does not play like this when Durant is healthy.

He doesnt play this well with or wothout Durant.

RW was putting up numbers and had bad shooting nights. He had a handful of triple doubles. There is no difference between Lebron's and Russell's.

Agreed. Because nobody plays as well as Lebron aside from maybe Durant when healthy.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Who was the idiot who claimed JR Smith was garbage?

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Please get Lebron some help for goodness sake!!!! Everyone on his team is bad.

they're down 1 despite LeBron actually shootin well so far.

This is the best LeBron has played so far this series. Really nice first half.

 

[chop2chip]

Finally, a Steph vs LeBron duel. Both are playing great.

Lebron's the first player in 20 years to put up a 20 pt, 8 rebound, and 8 assist half... in any game

 

[Runnin]

That's about the best I've ever seen.

I was really surprised to see that. That seems something that wouldn't be THAT rare.

Some of the shots that Curry makes is just absurd
