now lets be clear about james

You were born in 1994 and you still hold on to your pokemon collection


You are out of your league

Stay in your lane

I am 6'8 220 Ibs

James has never been a volume shooter so to bring up this stat is interesting. Yes his percentage isn't good. If he had Irving and Love on the floor he wouldn't be shooting near as much though. They accounted for 38 points a game. Who is picking up all that slack out of who's left on the floor for Cle?

[pinchegringo]

Hitler better looking than james

You wouldn't happen to have a bet on this game tonight would you?

Damn that hurt

You're good


I will back off

[ZetaPsi808]

His running mate in this series isn't Scottie Pippen, or Shaquille O'Neal, or Tony Parker, it's some Australian guy no one has ever heard of, named Delly. Did I mention he's white?

Drop the hate, lakerboy. You're turning into one of your very own thread dwellers.

Lebron is putting up historic numbers. Enjoy it. Quit interrogating it.

God bless you.

end thread. lebron's main sidekick this series is fukkin dellevadova

no love, no irving (2 all stars) no varejo (key role player), dova in the hospital, shumpert sprained shoulder

meanwhile the warriors have all their key players

[ZetaPsi808]

wow giant and ratzz running a train on lakerboy.

lakerboy this may be your dumbest thread of the the nba playoffs.

you should apologize now to everyone

[Eddy Munny]

This thread is the real choke job.

The Cavs were a 2-1 underdog before the series even started. Then, after a heartbreaking loss in game one, compounded by a series ending injury to the best player on the team not named Lebron, everyone and their mom had written the ending to this year's Finals, and it had Golden State hoisting the trophy with little resistance along the way.

This team could have easily folded after game one, faced with the adversity of losing their second All-Star, and having to contend with a more talented team, with a far deeper bench, who happened to also have home court advantage.

But that obviously hasn't happened... What has happened is that Lebron has put this motley crew on his back and almost single-handedly willed this team to two straight victories. Sure, he's had some help from role players along the way, but there's no guarantee from game to game what he'll get from whom, thus we've seen the most aggressive Lebron James we've ever seen in a Finals.

The results have been staggering, as well as historic. James' stat lines from the first three games are as follows:

(Pts-Reb-Ast)

Game 1) 44-8-6
Game 2) 39-16-11
Game 3) 40-12-8

How does someone honestly find fault with that? The guy goes out and lays it all on the line, barely even stopping to catch his breath on the bench, and rallies a group of faceless players with either zero or minimal playoff experience, leading them to a 2-1 series lead against a team they have no business beating... and in doing so, averages 41 points, 12 rebounds, and 8.3 assists in three games.

I don't wanna hear about his FG percentage. Lebron haters will grasp at anything to preach their gospel and defend their position. Bottom line is, Lebron is doing whatever it takes to win... this is not a beauty contest. He doesn't have the luxury of allowing his teammates to pour in buckets. There's no Kevin Love to dish the rock to, or Kyrie Irving to create off the dribble. Lebron simply can't be deferential with this group of guys, or pick his spots as a scorer, which would undoubtedly elevate his efficiency, but more than likely result in losses. Lebron has to score, score, rebound, and score some more... not mention lead his team in assists all the while.

Lebron James could very well be the 2nd player in Finals history to win MVP as a member of the losing team, if they do in fact lose this series. It would no way be a choke job. The Cavs are playing with house money right now and as long as James is on the court, there's reason to believe that anything is possible. Subtract James from the equation and this current lineup would be be hard-pressed just to stay out of the NBA cellar. With James, they've won 2/3 games against a team that some were speculating was amongst the greatest of all time.

Relinquishing a 2-1 lead in any best of 7 series is hardly a choke, but given the context of this series, making such an assertion is asinine. The truth is, most people still expect Golden State to win it.

Lakerboy, I hope you're just baiting people with this ludicrous premise, because if not, then you're a complete moron whose knowledge of the sport has taken a severe blow with this post.

[yydouble]

1. He wasn't expected to win this series to begin with.
2. He's been carrying this team so far quite opposite of choke.
3. Log off

AMEN!

Giant, I want Beef Broccoli now. You are priceless!

[lakerboy]

Very sharp and hilarious!
Well done.

[yydouble]

Dumber than your avg post.

Extremely strong statement!
Lmao

[lakerboy]

Yup. James is always god. Win or lose.

[t-wizzle]

If LeBron win this series it makes up for his 2011 embarrassment.

So that puts him at 3-3 then right?

Either way I still like Warriors in 7.

[goduke]

Well I think hes not going to have to do anything because unfortunately the cavs are going to win tonight I think. Ill hate every minute of it but i cant see it going any other way

[bigtymer56]

Lmao....yup finally gonna make up for that even though he won 2 titles after. Also funny you dismiss that Dallas squad like they werent good.

[t-wizzle]

Yea you're right. Washed up Jason Kidd. Washed up Shawn Marion.

You're right. DeShawn Stevenson. Man that guy was so great you never heard from him again.

Peja Stojakavic? Lol.

They were nothing compared to the team that Miami assembled not to mention the fact that the Heat were a sizeable fave.

[Eddy Munny]

Yup. James is always god. Win or lose.

Well, James isn't competing in golf, tennis, or bowling... basketball still is and will always be a team sport, no matter how big a dent that puts in your "James is a joke" thesis, or whatever it is you're trying to accomplish in this thread.

I'm still waiting for your rebuttal to everything I've put forth that topples your house of cards.

[BigDofBA]

James is lucky he isn't 1-4 in the Finals.

Jordan never came close to losing in the finals. All these people that think James is the GOAT make me feel old BC the obviously didn't watch Jordan.

James is a great player but let's see how the rest of his career pans out.

He assembled an all-star team and went 2-2 in the finals. Not as impressive as what Jordan did.

An interesting stat so far this series. James has missed more shots than Curry has attempted.

[matt711]

lebron can't play with stars. He needs the spotlight. You're a fan of his. He has the ball all by himself. He is going to put up points. What is his shooting %?

stupid

[lakerboy]

Rebuttal lol? James is 13-17 in finals games. He is shooting 42% in this series. He is 2-3 in the finals in his career. He will never be in the convo. He sold out.

[dlunc3]

Bigdofba and lakerboy the two biggest lebron haters on this forum...

Let's say lebron doesn't choke and they do win it all. What are you going to say about lebron then?

[lakerboy]

I will give him his due respect.

[7secondsOrLess]

This warriors team will get home court and go out round 1.

sup pussy

[The Giant]

Lebron is the best player in the last 15 years.

True or false, Lakerboy?

[bigtymer56]

False

[Eddy Munny]

Fukk shooting percentage. I already addressed that. James is the only consistent offensive threat for Cleveland. If he was shooting 56% but losing the series, that would be your angle, so what difference does it make? His mere presence has allowed Matthew fukking Dellavedova to become a folk hero. I'd like to see Jordan win a Finals with Dellavedova. Jordan wouldn't even let him touch the ball. He might score 60, but he'd lose his ass in the process.

James sold out? Lol... right, he should have just stayed in Cleveland for seven more years and crossed his fingers that a Scottie Pippen might fall into his lap so he could rightfully win the hearts of web morons like Lakerboy and his band of butthurt misfits.

not lebrons fault. cavs put him with bums and mike brown as a coach lol

jordans gm put him with pippen, rodman, kukoc, and one of the greatest coaches EVER phil jackson

[ZetaPsi808]

eddy munny slaying guys like bigD

i understand now

bigD is a big OKC fan. OKC was -160 to beat the heat in the finals. lebron played like a mvp in that finals and they crushed OKC and poster big d's dreams

now big d turned into a lebron hater

[PAULYPOKER]

Debatable. Duncan I would say.

Yeah and he came back to the same crew with different names. Lmao.

[lakerboy]

What was Jackson's record before he became bulls head coach?

[Eddy Munny]

If I'm not mistaken, this was Matthew Dellavedova's house before being plucked from obscurity by the Cavs and given an NBA salary.

Pippen's house was much larger, and had a basketball hoop to boot.

This is what Lebron is working with.
