It's fucking hard to make those shots with that much pressure on at the end of the game.

You saying something will happen when there is zero evidence that said things are happening doesn't magically make them true.
The NBA has and always has been a star driven league. Magic going to the Finals every year in the 80s didn't drive people away. Jordan winning 6 times in the 90s didn't drive people away. The Lakers and Spurs rattling off nearly every title in the 00s didn't drive people off. It never does. If anything shit like "The Decision" or KD going to GS has only brought more eyeballs to the league, and made it a 365 day a year sport.
Wow here comes the defense force oh man you sure showed me
Wow a team of great players decided to get together and win rings with little to no effort oh wow that's greatness
Wow son the league doing nothing about it and calling it greatness and pointing to ratings even though it's the only series anyone cares about to damage control the fact that no one else cares about the other 28 teams
Wow damn man if nothing's done we're going to get this same crap for years so why even bother watching
But yeah okay greatness bro you sure showed me
Jesus posts like these just make me smh but w/e get people like this all the time
just smh tbh
don't be dissin my dude biyombo

That based god curse was a bitch. This man KD has a new lease on basketball life.

KAT and Wiggins, the Brow and Boogie, Giannis, Parker (if his knees get healthy) and Middleton, Celtics, Embiid and Simmons, the high flying Nuggets offense.
And that's just off the top of my head.
Game is as watchable and entertaining now as it's ever been.

You are selling prime Kobe way short. Put prime Kobe in that game for LeBron at the two min mark and theres no way the cavs lose.

Yet it's exactly what kd did."A new chapter."
Lmao
Wow son what a terrible post
What would Silver do? Remove KD from the team? The Warriors were naturally assembled from drafting otherwise (and fuck he was a free agent, it wasn't like an ice capades trade).

And Bron did in 2010.
Would he listen to Pop?

They'll be fun to watch tho.
Trade Love for Melo
Trade Tristan for Lakers pick in the draft.
Sweep the Warriors next year with Lonzo as MVP.
The Warriors decided to get together? They drafted Draymond, Steph, and Klay, in mid-low first round picks your favorite team probably passed over. Get over it, they beat the game.

The heat beat him in the conference finals in 2009?

Not even going to touch Trump or May because those are end of the world scenarios, but goddamn that was quite possibly the most hurtful choke I ever saw live. They were playing some intense football, they were well on their way to be one of the best SB teams ever. Then it all happened and I like Matt Ryan quite a lot, he's such an incredible QB. It still hurts.

Wow damn son Wow
So what you're saying is, LeBron created his greatest enemy
Makes you think...
Truuuuu
Anyone got a quarter by quarter breakdown for Lebron? It looked like he faded in the 4th, later than the previous 2 games, but he did. His drive and pass game was still amazing, but they weren't shooting well enough.
Nothing against Lebron and Kyrie btw, they combined for just under 80. They just couldn't get it done at the end. JR's 3 gave them a great chance(90/10 or 80/20) and then it was pretty bad.

King Durant! Best player in the league easy. LeBron is faux royalty, Cleveland style. Didn't even dare to take the game into his own hands when they still had a chance.
BMO = GOAT
Member
If he wants to win he damn sure will. Also Lebron respects him a lot. Called him the GOAT coach
Curry has 29 for the series. Thompson has 11. ELEVEN.

Lebron's fault. The Cavs never should have given either of them that money. It only happened because Lebron forced their hand. They need to do everything in their power to dump one of those contracts.

Naw, he joined a team to create a super team to chase a ring when he couldn't get it done on his original team.
Just like KD.
Bronx-Man gets it.

That's what so many people keep forgetting about the Warriors when they bitch about super teams. Curry, Klay, and Draymond were all drafted by the Warriors and KD came on his own.

Your idea has never been true and never will be true.
The defending champs have always been a sellout in every arena.
If you're a Blazers fan you get to see CJ and Dame develop and maybe get to a conf. Finals.

First, we need to wait for the people who didn't watch the game to look at the box score and start their mental gymnastics about what might've happened in the game.

LeBron needs to go to the Celtics and let Fultz teach him how to be great.

Almost like Durant joined a 73 win team and is getting the easiest ring the world will ever see.
matt ryan plays like an elite qb until he needs to be an elite qb
I love the May I help guy. Seems fitting.Only one thing to do Bron
Bring back the old jerseys and ascend to SSJ God

Folks want the Cavs to run shit like the Dubs are about too they never should have let LeGM trade all them prospects and youth (well okay cept Bennett he obviously doesn't count) for Love.
Yeah it made em good right away and they got a ring out of it.
But at the cost of financial flexibility and long term view.

Please. No Falcons talk. Plz.
Lol anyway, LeBron has to do something. Someone is getting traded. I wonder how man future 1st they'll give up too.

Cavs would be down double digits at that point
