People still looking at Bron like he a 2k player. Like he don't fatigue. The guy was gassed at the end of the game and he has never been known as a gunner, shoot first player. He's a play maker and will choose the option that gives the team the best chance to score. I think it was Brons last shot or second last where he blew a easy layup. That's a sign of fatigue.

Very true. I think that legs were too tired to make a good finish so he played the odds and in his mind made a solid basketball play. I imagine it's hard for him to be that aggressive throughout the entire game because he expends so much energy on defense.

In an ideal situation, the bench players for the Cavs should be able to lighten the load offensively for LeBron so that he has that energy to drive hard to the basket in those final minutes. The bench just hasn't been good this series which has failed this Cavs team.

Phil Jackson used to call Scottie a 'sometimes shooter.' Sometimes they would go in, sometimes they wouldn't. That's how it is with LeBron. He's a great talent and a great player but you can see his flaws as a basketball player. He doesn't have an offensive game that he can rely on: no low-post game, no mid-range jump shot so when the game really gets tough he has a hard time finding easy baskets and getting himself going. That's what Michael did in his sleep so that's why the comparison is wrong.

To add onto the whole should one shoot or pass down the stretch - the problem is there's this unanimity that Kobe's approach is wrong, therefore believing the opposite is right. Hence why Lebron is looked at as a player who makes the 'right play', when that's not the case at all. The right play is somewhere in the middle. The right play is where the defense doesn't treat you like you're predictable (proclivity to shoot v. proclivity to pass). The right play is where you capitalize on what the defense gives you. The right play is where you take matters into your own hands, and not rely on others to do it for you.

I think I said something wrong, lol. LeBron's defense in this series has been somewhat shaky, however, people can't deny the fact that he just loses so much energy during those first three quarters because he's attacking on the offensive end while trying to maintain that intensity on the defensive end.

As well as a conditioned athlete that LeBron is, it's a tough thing to ask him to keep up that type of energy for 45 minutes. It's really hard as he can't even get a good rest on the bench because Golden State applies so much pressure offensively that he needs to be on the floor in order for the Cavs to remain competitive. Somewhat similar to the Westbrook situation with OKC vs Houston.

Again, it's up to the bench to be able to relieve some of that offensive pressure that LeBron has so that he can focus a bit better defensively.

And let me guess I bet you think this wasn't a foul :lolbron:-

Post another vid like it discredits what the hell I'm talking about brehs :mjlol:

He didn't come close to hitting the ball first. He went through his arm.

I think you need some glasses my breh. He goes over the top of Bron's left arm and hits the ball out. That's not even close to being a "clear foul". For argument's sake let's say he did momentarily touch Bron's arm, why did you have to exaggerate it as if he hacked Bron and then took the ball? Why couldn't you just give a player (who's looked at as weak defensively) props for getting revenge on a player who made a similar defensive play last Finals?

People crying about the Golden State Warriors being too overpowered but, the facts are the Miami Heat (if I had to pick a season, let's say 2013) could easily match up with them. For all the firepower they have, Miami would have Bron, Wade, Bosh, Ray Allen & Mike Miller for kick out shots. Battier & Haslem for irritating players defensively. And Chalmers was good for a few knock down buckets a game. It's funny. It was okay for these guys to have all of this firepower but, its wrong for GS. GS just came a few years too late to match against them.

The fact you worried about shyt like this...:ld:

I don't give a damn if was McCaw who made the play. I don't need glasses it's clear as day he fouled him/made contact.:dwillhuh:

You're so Currysessed that you're seeing what you want. I just pointed it out how LeBron's at the crib and not even getting that call. :hubie:

I'm not sure you can find two or three posts from me knocking or disagreeing with you about "should be" Curry fouls happening on him :gucci:

Don't worry breh. I'm sure the usuals will come along and argue with you. :pachaha:

At the same time, passing the ball in situations like that can be just as bad as forcing up a shot. Especially when the opposition knows what you're most probably going to do. It's fair enough to criticize players like Kobe who take the shot instead of looking for a teammate, but then you have to apply the same to players who look to pass instead of taking it upon themselves to score in those situations.
It's a valid complaint if said player passes up good looks for themselves in good spots

I'm not worried about shyt, clearly you were in your feelings when somebody posted that gif, that you felt the need to cry about how it was a "clear foul" and tried to bring up LeBron's lack of FTs as if that negated all the shyt the Cavs got away with. It wasn't a foul, it's as simple as that. I still don't even know why you'd even bring that up when LeBron was Deebo'ing nikkas out there and not getting called for it. Yet you seem to think Curry making a legitimate play on the ball is a talking point.
