"the big stage" lol BOS is worse than even UTA and currently 1-7 on the road. lebron is not putting up games like this against GS or HOU defense get a clue.
It doesn't matter who the opponent is. Look at the shots he made during these playoffs games. It's not just lucky shots here and there. He consistently made impossible shots that killed the opponent's soul.
UTA/GS/HOU wouldn't even allow him to have the ball in his hands and even attempt getting those shots off, likely trapping him and forcing his garbage teammates to make plays instead
while i prefer the rockets play the cavs over the celtics in the nba finals (if the rockets beat the warriors), it would be best for the rockets and their pitch for lebron if he loses this game 7.
my good man, perhaps your harvard education has failed you in the art of reading comprehension. no diss has been assigned to one lebron from the shout-hole of mine trailer, on the contrary, his greatness has been quite great! the leastern conference has in fact been disparaged on my watch, and it's less than stellar offering of teams which have time and again allowed lebron to, as they might say in your white collar parts -- go ham.
Did you know that Boston was the #2 defensive team behind Utah? Golden State was #12 this year. Before you say "They are in the Leastern Conference," just note that the ranking is SoO adjusted.
I’m running out of Basketball Reasons to hate on him. All i have left are Personal Reasons. Have to stop talking about GOATS, frame it in terms of FOATS. How you look, act and talk count. What a performance though, can’t remember any better individual PS of his career so far.
That might be doing Cleveland a favor as far as matchup purposes. Green is better for them defensively and can still spread the floor for them.
Unless Jeff Green plays out of his mind, this is a terrible blow to the Cavs. Their margin for error just went to near zero. I doubt very much George Hill, Larry Nance Jr and Jeff Green repeat their game 6 performances in Boston. They have to hope the young Celtics choke under the pressure of the moment. Not that his post-season hasn't already been historic, but LeBron has a chance to plant a flag in game 7 that might switch my vote for GOAT away from MJ. No matter who wins, this will be another epic event in a great season for the NBA.
Honestly love hasn't done anything in this series that isn't replaceable. Especially in their wins. I think a lot of people are just seeing the name being out so it'll be a big loss to a lot of people. If TT was unplayable like in the previous series this would be a bigger loss. It does make tomorrow's game even more interesting than it already was going to be.
You make a really good point he hasn't produced much beyond rebounds in their wins this series. Sorta strange. Maybe they haven't needed Love at home so much because the Celtics are such yo yos between home and road. I just don't trust Green/Nance/Clarkson to soak up an additional 35 mins in Boston and perform well. However, the beauty of it all is expectations don't matter. You have to play the game.
You switch LeBron for Harden and we instantly beat the warriors. LeBron passes quick, defends, pg to center versatility, back to back good games
not putting up games like this against GS or HOU defense??? Perhaps you missed the 2015 Finals or 16 Finals or maybe even last years Finals, where Lebron put up amazing statlines against GS Warriors team which are MUCH better defensively than this year's squad.
point is he had much better teams as well. with the current squad around him it's now possible to just double him and force the cuck teammate to make a play. only GS and HOU can switch everything and do that though
