2017 NBA FINALS THREAD. PART III

[MVP]

When compared to the rest of his numbers during that playoff run it certainly is. He got significantly worse. Kobe at 22 and 23 >>>

 

[darthska]

[quote name="Freeze"]But off the top in 16..bron got his points in the beginning but shot horribly. Low 30s. He settled for jumpers because bogut locked down the paint. It wasnt until his primary defenders either got suspended and lost rhythm or hobbled that his game opened up. And then with bogut getting hurt..the red sea parted.[/quote] I'm just full of mistakes today. I edited because I meant 2015 Finals, where LeBron lead both teams in nearly all categories but obviously lost.

 

[Mr.Guy]

Had no help, even Shaq had kobe and MJ had pippen

Not to mention Rodman who was basically Tristan Thompson on steroids.

[quote name="Mamba MVP]When compared to the rest of his numbers during that playoff run it certainly is. He got significantly worse. Kobe at 22 and 23 >>>[/quote]And that would be why we disagree.

"Compared to this other metric, this is bad" is not fair to me.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

5th loss comin

 

[darthska]

[quote name="lamekilla"]Steph did 22/5/4 in 2015 [/quote]What was wrong with him? That's terrible!

 

[Mr.Guy]

Bron should get one of those man weaves next season.

 

[MVP]

Steph did 22/5/4 in 2015

Didn't you say he played bad though?

 

[darthska]

[quote name="leemelone"]

5th loss comin[/quote]I tend to think so.

But I'm pretty sure I thought so last year, too, and was feeling really good about my prediction when the Warriors were up 3-1.

Actually, I'm curious. Last year's Finals thread has Pab's predictions in it, right? Who did I say?

Oh..real talk..to keep it a buck...bron did his thing both yrs. I dont blame him for losing in 15. He spazzed. Warriors were better. I dont like bron. I do think hes an incredible basketball player though. In the top 3 athletically gifted ive ever seen with russ and Bo. Dudes motor and durability is something i cant quantify. But yea 15 he did what i praised kobe for. Finally saying skip my percentages im trying to win and if we lose im going down shooting. He was dope in 15 and 16 imo. Especially last yr game 5 and on. He was in game 6 boston mode that whole time. Pretty insane to watch

Still f bron doh.

 

[lamekilla]

What was wrong with him? That's terrible!

It is

Didn't you say he played bad though?

That's exactly what I'm getting at.

 

[freeze]

I and a lot of nba analysts and writers still believe if draymond had just kept a level head..series wouldve been over in 5 guaranteed and that family man would be 2 of 7 :x

 

[Mr.Guy]

Do you realize how hard it is to win an NBA championship. Why didn't Jordan win a championship every year he played?

 

[tribals]

Lebron about to go 3-5 in Finals series and some dudes going as far as trying to call him goat

 

[niceshoes247]

Even Tom Brady lost two lil man

 

[Lovetohate3000]

Except Steph didn't average 22 in 2015... He averaged 26..Also averaged 10.7 ppg in the 4th quarter on 75 percent ts%.. Highest since shaq and also had a 17 point fourth quarter... The narrative that Steph was garbage in the first finals is a lie. He had one bad game.

 

[tribals]

5-2 record seems better than 3-5 [emoji]129300[/emoji]

 

[MVP]

He'll finish his career 3-7 and they'LL claim it. I blame your clown squad for even allowing this to happened, y'all could have sealed his fate as the Wilt-Jerry West of this generation but you had to **** it up. Nothing less than a washing of epic proportions will suffice this time.

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Korver gonna eat if they slack on him

 

[niceshoes247]

That's why we play the game

 

[darthska]

[quote name="DarthSka"]Actually, I'm curious. Last year's Finals thread has Pab's predictions in it, right? Who did I say?[/quote]Shoot. I didn't make a prediction. I definitely remember thinking that the Warriors were going to take the series, mostly based off of the fact that they had just done so in 2015.[quote name="Elpablo21"][QUOTE name="Elpablo21"][QUOTE name="Elpablo21"]

Except Steph didn't average 22 in 2015... He averaged 26.. Also averaged 10.7 ppg in the 4th quarter on 75 percent ts%.. Highest since shaq and also had a 17 point fourth quarter... The narrative that Steph was garbage in the first finals is a lie. He had one bad game.

Yea comparing Steph and Bron's 1st 2 Finals isn't even close as far as their individual performances.

 

[freeze]

Korver gonna eat if they slack on him

he'll be damn near unplayable with his trash defense. just like frye. cavs dont have enough 2way players to keep up with the wave of offense the warriors are equipped with.

 

[Proposition Joe]

Do you realize how hard it is to win an NBA championship. Why didn't Jordan win a championship every year he played?

Apparently its only bad if you lose in the finals, losing any other round or even missing the playoffs is fine

 

[Mr.Guy]

Korver has actually been playing decent defense.
