grasping at straws tbh
At the very least I am glad this series is over so I dont have to hear stupid comments like this from Lebron for awhile. Also I dont have to see him flash his little wrinkly dick at me on tv.
Hope Kyrie appreciates Lebron saying he didnt help him get to the championship series and Love for that matter.

I don't blame Lebron for calling himself "the best basketball player in the world". I believe he is right. At least there are a bunch of players that you can consider one of the best. Lebron is among them. But his team was not built enough to compete in that level. They did not look like a team that were about to lose the series if they lose this game. They wandered around senselessly in defense. You don't win it like that. As always, ball movement and enough level of D brought championship. I am really liking this trend. Spurs destroyed Lebron's dominance. Now Warriors. This is a statement that says personal talent is nothing compared to good team basketball, chemistry, momentum and feel for the game. And I am glad that the young and promising Utah Jazz are on this exact route.

Yeah the east is a mess. No surprise that an injury-riddled team could rise up through the crap.

In 2011 Dallas only had Dirk as an all-star.
In 2005 Detroit only had Ben Wallace.
Well that is at least 2 with only a cursory examination. Take the Spurs last year and you have 3.

It is probably hard to be lebrons teamate. When he was in Cleveland the first time he frequently criticized or blamed his teammates. When the big three sputtered in Miami he criticized the role players (specifically Mario charmers if I recall), and now he discounts his teammates contributions while emphasizing he is the greatest. The man who said he only has two friends in the NBA is probably right. Gifted player, awkward human.
bron did have easy route to the finals. crappy celtics, dysfunctional bulls, and not ready for primetime hawks. and kryie was injured in the finals

Can't we all admit that the regular season was exciting? Especially after the Jazz traded that pansie *** Kanter?
And can't we all admit that these playoffs sucked ***? Most of the series were boring with blowouts. Only the Clippers made things interesting by coming back to beat the Spurs while somehow choking it away against the Rockets.
The rest of the post season wasn't very memorable at all

...definitely pathetic Finals, as neither team shot the ball all that well, with a ton of turnovers and missed free throws! Wouldn't rank this NBA Finals in the top 50 ever, would you?

Can we finally stop w/ the Lebron Jordan comps now?
In the fourth quarter of big games Jordan instilled a dreadful fear on his opponents and their fans. While his teammates and fans had the ultimate confidence in the timeliness in which he would draw his dagger. Lebron just doesn't do that.
I remember the nervousness of my team having the lead and the ball. I remember being crazy upset when Jordan took it from Malone but not being all that surprised. I remember knowing, despite all the hoping I could manage despite nearly breaking my fingers by crossing them so hard, that the game was over before Jordan had even made his move.
Yeah, he pushed off but that's kinda a moot point when discussing Lebron.

Lebron averaged 35 points on 32 shots per game.
Big woop.
Big woop.
Also shot 69% from the FT line in the series. Down right awful.
39% FG shooting. 35 ppg on 32 shots. So yeah, he shut him down as much as humanely possible.
35.8/13.4/8.8 .398%
2 triple doubles
3 40+ pts
no matter how you slice it that's a great stat line. yes he struggled shooting the ball. his efficiency took a major hit because he played too many minutes. and honestly, iggy did a good job on bron, but it was more bron than iggy. bron's shots been off all playoffs long. he is not a great shooter, but he routinely shot 50% because he had many easy shots and got to the rim.
lol. a guy who averaged 36pts did not get shut down. in the 2nd half last night, bron flat out missed makable shots because he had no legs. most of his shots were just short.
did iggy contain bron? yes he did somewhat. but you don't shut down somebody who attempted 32 shots. that's ridiculous. bron got whatever he wanted on the court. he just missed alot of shots. shutting down is bron is like limiting him to 10 shot attempts.
IMO he put up one of the all time great performances. only time in history who led in scoring, rebounding, and assists on both teams. i never was a bron guy, but now i respect him more than ever before.
