You failed to post were MJ was fumbling around at the end of games and needed a hof’er to bail him out.
AD made three shots in the entire 4th quarter.

Two of them were open catch-and-shoot threes and the other involved exactly 1 dribble off the cut.

LeBron was the assist man on 2 of the 3 shots.


Y'all talking like AD scored 18 in the 4th off dominant iso play. :mjlol:

The degree to which y'all get aggy if any teammate of LeBron makes more than 2 shots in a quarter is wild. :dead:

Nah. I don't have some corny "Bron always has to be right or a winner" desired outcome. That "jockying to hate or love Bron 100% of the time" is trash. That's you corny ass niqqas projecting your own bullshyt. It's garbage talk whether it involves Bron or not. It's just corny how game to game NBA narratives change and aren't built on principle. You're a unprincipled ass niqqa, so you have no clue what the fukk I'm talking about anyway.

I'm glad football and baseball talk isn't so bytch made and garbage
Nikka it’s an internet sports forum so when in Rome, post some examples of principled baseball and nfl discussions:feedme:

That was your response to my quote...
:patrice:You bodied yourself but I don’t even feel like breaking your post down at the moment.

So, we agree that an Mvp caliber player on Lebrons team closed out the game after Lebron was making mistakes/ blowing the game late?

But we disagree that it happened in the same manner than when MJ passed the ball at the end of games?

MJ could of very well have choked or shrinked away from the moment late in games but ima need evidence or it didn’t happen.

It seems when yall bench dont produce and make their shots yall cant get over the hump.

Lebron and the Cavs had this problem but him and Kyrie would have to drop 40 a piece to grind out those wins. I'm not saying Kyrie better than AD but Kyrie was the perfect asset for games like yesterday. fukk the rebounds can you hit big time shots? Can you take over offensively? Haven't seen that with AD yet.

Bron is gonna be Bron. He will either ball out first half and burnout the last half or vice versa. Games where yall got Kuzma, Marcus, Caruso and Ronda going off nobody is beating yall.

Yall lost last night because the bench got out played by Jermani Grant putting up 20+ and looking like an All Star out there. With that said. Lakers in 5 :mjgrin:
Just to keep some perspective....Kyrie has scored 40 exactly 3 times in his entire playoff career.

One of them was against that IT Boston squad that had zero chance against the Cavs, and another was the 2017 Warriors when the Cavs were already down 3-0 and everyone knew they were gonna lose the series whether they won that game or not. LBJ also had 30+ in both games and they were comfortable wins.

Of course the 3rd one was that 2016 Game 5 where he and Bron had 41 each.

Besides that, Kyrie only broke 30 points in the postseason five times in the three years he played with Bron. Two of those games were losses to Golden State and the other three were in easy 1st-round wins during sweeps.

So in 52 career playoff games in Cleveland, Kyrie only broke 30 eight times, and only one of those games affected the outcome of a series. The idea that the Cavs were repeatedly bailed out by huge scoring games by Kyrie is overplayed.

People wanna compare that to KD (who broke 30 in 23 of his 47 playoff games with the Warriors) or Steph (who broke 30 another 18 times after KD joined), but he's just not a scorer on their level. Klay has just as many 30+ playoff games as Kyrie does since they joined the NBA, though Klay does benefit from having been healthier.

Everyone in the NBA needs more than 2 guys to score to win the game. 110 or so points is a lot of points to rely on two guys to score.

Last night Denver had 22+ from three different starters and still needed strong production from the bench to win a close game.

Is your assumption that MJ never made bad plays in the 4th quarter of a big game? Your points seem so myth-heavy that I'm struggling to see what you want me to say.

LBJ drove to the hole to draw in the defense and then found AD for an open three. LBJ swung the ball to an open AD who waltzed inside and dropped in a short floater. And AD hit the game-winner when the Nuggets left him open after doubling Bron instead.

Those are literally the only 3 shots AD hit in the entire 4th quarter, and LeBron made the first two happen and drew the double that allowed the 3rd.

So is your only issue that LeBron had some missed shots and turnovers in the 4th? And your assumption is that MJ never had a 4th quarter with missed shots and turnovers?

Cause your idea that LeBron was "choking" in a Game 2 with no crowd against the Denver Nuggets, at this point in his career with his resume (greatest elimination game player ever, greatest Game 7 player ever, most playoff game-winners ever, most playoff wins ever) is so stupid as to defy belief.

If you say so:yeshrug:
You really thought I came in here covered in the "I want Bron to look good 100% of the time" garb, projecting the bs you're on. That shyt is corny as fukk. Sports are fluid, not rigid stan wars and what side of the aisle you're on.

NBA coverage and discussions are pure ass cheeks.

AD had 2 REBOUNDS last night :dahell:

Wanna make it more wild?

AD, Dwight, McGee, Morris, and Kuzma (all of the PF and C who played for the Lakers last night) combined for 5 rebounds total.

So it ain't like he was just letting the other bigs get the boards. Laker bigs got straight destroyed on the boards last night by Jokic, Millsap, and Murray (26 rebounds combined).

Jokic and Murray alone had as many offensive rebounds last night as those 5 Lakers had TOTAL rebounds.

Bro stop typing these long ass posts telling me what I’m thinking lol if you gonna post vids post them then.

Address what you said about MJ needing Pip the same way Bron needed AD late in the 4th. I’m sure you have plenty of vids for that.

You’ve already bodied yourself with that Paxson vid but I’ll give you a chance to redeem yourself.

How can a video prove anything to anyone who denies reality?

Y'all tried to claim that MJ never had anyone "bail him out" by doing all the scoring at the end of a big game. I showed you Paxson scoring 10 straight at the end of a MUCH bigger game. I showed you Scottie leading the bench on a 14-2 run to make a massive comeback from a 15-point 4th-quarter deficit in a Finals Game 6....with MJ sitting on the bench.

Ya'all claimed that Paxson hitting 5 shots in the last 5 minutes of a closeout Finals game didn't count because they were all catch-and-shoot jumpers from MJ.

I proved y'all lied cause only 2 of the passes came from MJ.

Then when I pointed out that AD only hit 3 shots in the entire 4th quarter, that they were also mostly catch-and-shoot jumpers and LBJ made the passes on 2 of them....you changed the subject.

Still waiting for y'all to tell me why AD hitting 3 buckets off passes in a WCF Game 2 is somehow more impressive than Paxson hitting 5 shots at the end of a Finals Game 5. Still waiting for you to explain how Pippen and Paxson combining for 52 in that game is less help than AD's 31. If you can't deal with the reality you've already been shown then there's no reason to move on.

That Bron 4th ring is inevitable so this is what you sucka nikkas have been reduced to :mjgrin::mjlol:
Imagine being a GROWN MAN who does not want to see a BLACK MAN succeed.
Taking all their childhood frustrations out on a dude who is not aware of their existence.
Hating or rooting for the Lakers on some ol' "but he's not the bess on the team. He not the bess!"

Y'all boys -truly- are chumps

How about this one then, since you seem to want to take a lot of L's this week.

Let's move on to our FIFTH Finals closeout game of the discussion, since I like sticking with the absolute biggest games to prove how easily I can make my point.

In the 1996 Finals, Game 6, Jordan went 0-5 and scored only 2 points in the 4th quarter. Jordan did not score a single point in the final 10 minutes of the game though he did have 4 missed shots and 2 turnovers.



So how did the Bulls win? Behind 8 points from Pippen, great team defense, huge offensive rebounding (Rodman had a record-setting 11 offensive rebounds in the game), and some horrible '90s officiating.

Pippen scored 8 in the final 10 minutes of a Finals closeout game. MJ went 0-4 with 0 points and 2 turnovers in those same 10 minutes.

Is that good enough for you?
