He was 40-13-7 on 21 shots in 42 minutes of play, with only 6 free throws so he wasn’t being favored by the refs. He was +7 in the time he was on the court so his team was -10 in the 6 minutes he was off the court.

So you are saying people who say he was great and it was his teammates fault are “nut huggers”? Is that what you are saying? Please respond to this post, I want to understand what you are saying here.

I'm saying calling him the GOAT were they to lose this series would be an embarrassment. They have NO business losing to this Heat team. And Anthony Davis was 9-15 for 28 points, 3 steals, 3 blocks, and 12 boards.

I mean....

LeBron was awesome.

And yet he has to win this series against this team if he even wants to contemplate being mentioned with Jordan. Blaming Danny Green and Caldwell-Pope when he has Anthony Davis going nuts every night ain't gonna fucking cut it.

Was bad against San Antonio the first time, though the team was well overmatched.

Choked against Dallas, a team that had less talent than his. Lost to the Spurs again, another team that.....well, we'll let that be.

The Warriors..ok, fine. Durant made that one pretty unfair.

But THIS series? No excuses. Win it.
 
Ok, fine. He hasn’t lost it yet.

But THIS game? Not something to be charged against him.
 
That was a bad play by Morris, but I'd go a step further and say he's in the running for worst NBA Finals game of all time. 0 points (0/2 shooting), 1 rebound, 0 assists, 0 steals, 0 blocks, 3 turnovers, 4 fouls.

No not this game.

But I responded to Mr. Orange's goofy claim that his "teammates are trash."

He has Anthony Davis. Who is not trash, hasn't been trash this series, and sure as shit wasn't trash tonight. LeBron has plenty of help. More than enough.

He shouldn't lose this series.
 
If Davis is truly hobbled the Lakers are in trouble. They just don’t provide enough space for LeBron and the heat can really shoot the ball which gives Butler a lot of room to operate.

I think the Lakers are in trouble, but Davis looked totally fine to me. Maybe it swells up after he stops moving and becomes a problem, but he looked good.

You may want to get your eyes checked. He was visibly limping on multiple occasions in the last 5 minutes.
 
Yeah, Davis was not really available in crunch time, he had a hard time making it up and down the court. Lebron was stuck with KCP, Green, Kuzma, and Caruso in winning time. This is exactly why people try to get a Big Three and not a Big Two
 
I’ll say one thing: LeBron is fucking PISSED right now. He was THIS CLOSE to winning his fourth ring on a legendary close-out performance, but his teammates let him down. Does he give them a raving obscenity filled lecture behind closed doors, or does he freeze them out and glare at them all, or does he just chill out knowing they only have to win one of the next two? I have no idea, LOL
 
Lebron goes to the Lakers front office trying to sign Duncan Robinson before game 6 LOL
 
Here's another crazy stat. Howard, Morris, and Kuzma played a combined 60 minutes and got 0 defensive rebounds.

Not quite fair since they did get 4 offensive rebounds, generally considered more valuable

Still not a lot of boards though

As the saying goes, defense wins championships. No defense, no championship.

And I can't help but say...offensive rebounds are actually less valuable, dare I say worthless, if you immediately chuck the ball out of bounds :chuckle:
