I can't even call you out for this because this is literally what I was doing in 2011 lmao
Win or Lose, give the fucking Finals MVP to Lebron. How can anyone on GS win it with such balanced scoring? Cavs are missing TWO all-stars and after Lebron, their best options are Knicks rejects, undrafted role players and a mental midget in TT. For them to even have won 2 games is miraculous.

I seriously have no idea how he makes that shot.

why do they play james jones
he did nothing
at least miller hit a 3

This has been his best finals performance, by not an inconsequential margin either. Did you see that post game? Those Kidd/Barrea struggles, it's like they never existed.

Were you the one that put the shopped "We are Witness" picture of Delladedova???
I'm sure you enjoyed it all the same.
It reminds of when youre a lil kid and barely strong enough to shoot a 3 lmao

No. I've just seen this Cleveland teams lose in heartbreaking ways far too many times. I know how this ends.
I mentioned this earlier. People clearly didn't watch what happened during game 4. They must have been focused on his offense, because his defense was mostly garbage.

ESPN already going HARD on the he doesn't have enough help narrative. Where's the jeopardy pic again?

Kawai was the best player on the floor, but aside from that in both of those instances the winning team ran the losing team off the floor. These games have been hotly contested and the series will go 6 or 7 games. LeBron has been far and away the best player in this series and it's not even close.

This is like him back in Cleveland the first time and the main reason he recruits All Stars everywhere he goes.
Fuck that, Mr. Big Shot earned it.
Do you think Lebron has help? Would love to know. How important is Curry to this Warrior's team? I can think of MANY players that could replace him and the Warriors would still win. Replace Lebron with anyone on this Cav's team, and they wouldn't do shit.

You're looking at this from the wrong angle. Curry had one bad game and the media and some of the fans acted like it was Dellavedova doing. That he was a choker, overrated, whatever. Someone here posted that Curry was just a short guard with nice handles. Really, this was a thing last week, even if it was an off game by the MVP and some solid defense by Dellavedova.
What you're seeing now is a late response to that shit because, you know, Curry just dropped 37 points on only 23 shots in a game five in the NBA Finals. the rumor of his demise was greatly exaggerated.
Lebron James is the best post player in the NBA, by a wide margin. I'm rooting for GS and even I can see that much. Memphis must be sitting around wondering why their 7'1 300lb starting all star couldn't do that.
curry wishes he could play like leonard did for the entirety of last finals

Lebron uses his off arm to clear space every single game, never called. Mozgov travels repeatedly, rarely called. Mozgov goes up just like Green goes up on defense, Green gets called for it when it's against Lebron.
There's stuff the Warriors get away with too but let's be perfectly clear. Refs are not the reason your group of bums is down 3-2. They wouldn't be here if the refs didn't help them out by giving a wink and a nudge to Blatt when he was about to cost them their season with that phantom timeout.
My problem is the pendulum nature of it. When he wins he can do it all, when he loses he needs prime Jordan and Magic to help him out.

Lebron getting MVP for putting up big numbers and loosing would be fucking weird.
Kinda late to the discussion, but couldnt help but cringe when Doris asks 4 questions to Curry, and 3 are about Lebron.
Like, give Curry the credit for the win, ask him about his team or something, rather than "Lebron was great tonight! Your thoughts?"
Sticking to my prediction of GSW in 6

But its true?
I mean what NBA Finals team had two of its top 3 leading scores injured?
LBJ is doing whatever humanly possible to win the series.
It's impressive how hard he's playing and the minutes he's putting in.

If GS wins it Iggy should get the MVP plain and simple. He's been the only person consistently good for the Warriors.
If Curry doesn't shit the bed in game 6, I think he deserves MVP.
Yes, Iggy has been amazing, but Iggy doesn't get any of the open shots he does without the pure fear of Curry's shot. The commitment off the pnr on curry to double or throw whoever the fuck they can at him changes a lot. No one on the other side wants to see curry explode, and that fear is a factor all on its own.

Dat freethrow shooting though.
I am so glad they won because he'd look like the biggest fucking idiot on the planet.

lol.
He's having a great series, but it's not "lose and still get MVP" worthy. He isn't shooting all that well, and he's always gonna stuff the stat sheet as a ball dominant 'point-foward.'

I'm not sure anyone can honestly say "he has enough help" with 45ppg @ 50% shooting injured and on the sidelines. I think that's just a statement of fact and has been all playoffs. LBJ has just been that good and the role players have done just enough. This bunch has even made the vaunted Warriors bleed.
I think it's fair for even a biased mind to be impressed at the fight they're putting on despite being thin on offensive talent at the moment. They don't need to go out and get *new help*; they just need the help they have to be able to you know...put on a jersey and play. Maybe next year.
Agreed.

So what. GS would probably be down 3-2 or out at this point if it wasn't for his play. Yeah he stunk it up from the line but he's been big for his D on Lebron and timely 3 point baskets.
Also Lebron shouldn't get the MVP if he loses plain and simple. He lost
Seriously lol they want the Mozgawd

I'm just saying I'm happy for him that he wasn't the scapegoat because yeah, he's made a difference.

Why can't it be both?
Disagree. Lebron could be a great post player, but he pushes off for separation way too much (and gets away with it). There's a difference between using your arm for separation, and pushing off. And he's not good at creating spacing in a post up sequence without using his large frame to physically shove other players out of the way.

James Jones and Mike Miller played more than Mozgov tonight. Is Blatt still a good coach?
