OT: Cavs vs. Warriors (Who Wins the NBA Finals?)

[Froob]

And Lebron sat out the last six minutes of the final game sulking from the bench with his team down by 12. Wade probably could have used him then.

Not saying LeBron has never quit on his team but, cmon now, LeBron was far from the biggest problem that year. People were talking about having Mike Miller out there instead because Wade was so bad. This year will be fair criticism if the Cavs lose game 5.

A lot of what people in here are saying about Lebron are the same things people say about Brady.

Such as?

Peppy LePeau is not innocent. He stepped over Green when he was trying to get up.

LeStink has a habit of parading his junk in front of people anyway.

He didn't just step over him. He knocked him down in the first place.

I'm not saying he was the biggest problem, but he sat out the entire second half of the fourth quarter in the deciding game. That's unheard of. If you are going to lose, at least go down fighting. Lebron doesn't like a challenge. He doesn't want people seeing him trying in a losing cause. That's going to be part of his legacy. When the going gets tough, Lebron checks out.

Menstrual cramps?

, NOT THREE, NOT FOUR NOT FIVE NOT SIX, NOT SEVEN (series losses in the finals)

Nobody sane says Brady checks out and quits on his team.
Nobody sane says Brady is a loser in the 'finals'.

The mystery is what kind.

I think hes ok with a challenge as long as he thinks he is getting help.

I'm not saying that it's not a mystery. I'm just saying that Pamprin wants him to sponsor their product.

Wade was awful in 2014 finals when LeBron could have used him, in all fairness.

Nobody here cares about fairness. This is a just a thread for bashing one of the all time greats.

If your binky doesn't want to get bashed, he should stop his incessant whining and playing like his IQ has dropped 100 points in the last five minutes of a close game in the Finals. Also, he might want to slack off a bit on the shameless stat padding.

One of them, but a step below the ELITE, clearly.

....because he deserves to be bashed. You have even listed the reasons why in your posts.

Because he has had 3 or 4 bad playoff series over a 13 year career? Do you really want to get into the number of times that Larry Bird or your other binkies have come up small in the playoffs? Why don't we call Larry the Peyton Manning of the NBA since his team lost 6 times in the playoffs with HCA? If you are unfair and unreasonable, you can do this with any great player. Why don't we look at Jordan's record (regular season and playoffs) before Pippen arrived?

You have some irrational hatred towards James and are only focusing on his failures, while ignoring the heroics. Conversely, you are ignoring the failings of your heroes and only focusing on the positives. The whole thing is ridiculous. Lebron goes 25-13-9-2-3 and is criticized because the other team drains 17 threes. I'm sure Larry would've been blocking some of those threes into the seats right? Come on now. Your memory is playing tricks on you.

LeChoke apologists. How cute.

 

[AvocadoIceCream]

LOL at this guy, wow.

Funny how all of these bad performances come in the finals, eh? lol

Bro, he's had no competition in the East since KG/Pierce became too old...

He could be the most dominating player ever, instead, he's content with getting his numbers and passing to his teammates so that people don't blame him missing shots as the reason they lost.

He's afraid to be the reason they lose

Go look at his 3Pt FG% this year as compared with his years with the Heat. He was a 37% shooter with the heat and he's 30% now. His jumper is terrible right now. Why would someone who really wants to win use a weapon that he knows isn't working? In your warped mind, it would make him a better player to do something that gives his team a worse chance of winning.
