LeBron James

[Ohio]

Not trying to support the bitch (Harden, that is) or the way he gets his points. But the fact of the matter is that he uses it to his advantage and scores very efficiently, and I was simply correcting the poster who said that Lebron is more efficient.

LeBron is more efficient from the field. By a significant amount.

He is. I'm not denying that. But FG% is an outdated measure of efficiency at this point. Free throws have to be included because like field goal attempts, they use up possessions, and Harden's high FT percentage make him more efficient, period, even though LBJ has a higher FG%.

The only thing more efficient about Harden is his Kicking people in the nuts %

And his ability to actually, you know, make FTs. Sorry, but LeBron's poor ass FT shooting might actually cost him the MVP.

Nobody is playing tonight, we play Miami on Monday.

We play Orlando tomorrow. I could see LeBron resting tomorrow. Tomorrow starts the four games in five nights again.

Harden's extra efficiency comes from ref favoritism, fuck that.

Not to mention the ones he missed vs. Houston to win the game.

Harden got a big MVP push because his team won that game. Could have helped LeBron's case imo.

Now he wont finish better than 3rd, but thats ok.





I'd rather he win Finals MVP anyway

Pretty much. Check out the box score from when he put up 56, it's sorta crazy:

How the fuck do you get 0 points in 40 minutes!?!?!?

Wheb the entire team scores 98 and 56 came from the same player it's highly possible

Drew Gooden, Eric Snow, Ira Newble, Lucious Harris, Jiri Welsch, Sasha Pavlovic, Robert Traylor.... names I don't want to hear ever again.

Are any of them still in the NBA?

 

[TheISHT]

Goden is...I think on the Wizards roster.

1 point from the bench sticks out to me.

Three have retired (Harris, Snow, Newble), one is deceased (RIP Tractor Traylor!), two play internationally (Pavlovic and Welsch), and Gooden is a bench big for the Wizards.

None of them except Gooden should have been in the NBA at all. (I guess maybe Snow back in the day but not that year).What's particularly amazing is that Lebron dragged that roster to a winning record. Z, a young AV, and Gooden were the only other players of value on the whole team.

Amazing how little help Lebron got in his first Cleveland go-round. One of the reasons I didn't blame him as much for leaving, especially now that he's come back. (Go ahead and downvote me, I know that's the ultimate heresy).

Good Lord, those teams were bad.

5 players scored that game. 4 of them combined for 97 of the team's 98 points. That is incredible.

That's so bad that it's almost good. Wow.
