He couldn't even carry a team with another top 5 player to the finals....

But he did. And they lost to a team that's considered one of the greatest teams put together. No shame in that.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Y'all whining about the same teams dominating the post-season; I'm an NBA fan living in Charlotte, how the fuck do you think I feel?

Knicks fan here.

 

[EPaul]

Van Pelt just called out the refeering, my man

Indeed Draymond took the high road though

 

[Mrstriker09]

Korver has been bad, Hes there to hit threes and cant hit them,

 

[CueMan]

KD hit the shot the same one where he tripped over himself on Christmas. Close game, let's see how Cavs respond.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

He doesn't have the Chicago hot sauce any more.

He did nothing for the Bulls in the playoffs either.

 

[Frozenprince]

Knicks fan here.

Our suffering will NEVER end.

breh we ain't got shit

yeah yall's came in the 70's, we haven't even made the ECF

 

[Darkman M]

Time for some BBB hype!

 

[Fjordson]

The silver lining of this yawner series is Draymond is an afterthought.

For casuals looking at counting stats, but he led the team in assists and Cleveland shot 1-10 when he was the primary defender. There's almost never a game where Draymond isn't integral to the team. At least on defense.

 

[LyleLanley]

Ummm... he did?

Yes but he also didn't, many times.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Time for some BBB hype!

Naw.

 

[LionPride]

And again

Who the hell did Jordan play in the finals that gave him a real challenge

 

[Gorillaz]

Paul George to Cavs

Both can now relate in having their hearts taken away ruthlessly

 

[Ever]

People trying to use ratings to justify terrible basketball, pretty sad

This is what the NBA has come to in 2017

 

[TTG]

What happened at the end happened, but did you see the beginning of the 4th? Cavs had a 5 point lead, Steph and KD sat. KD got off the bench first when Draymond went out with his 5th foul, but that wasn't until 8 and change left on the clock.

The lead did not balloon, it was still 5. Lue tried the same thing at the beginning of the second in game 1. Lebron on the floor playing extra minutes, KD and Steph off. Warriors led by 5 then and by the time KD and Steph came back on they were up 9.

I know hindsight is easy, but those 5 minutes Lebron plays over KD and Steph have not been worth it AT ALL.

 

[Shamrock7r]

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.

While true, I doubt a team that hadn't won a championship prior minds.

 

[theignoramus]

I was rooting for the Cavs and this loss hurt. They played their hearts out. But you cant win against a team that has a fucking cheat code in KD. I dont care if GSW win this year, I wont forget the bitch i saw in KD last year.

 

[VeeP]

And again

Who the hell did Jordan play in the finals that gave him a real challenge

He went through an actual gauntlet in the East.

 

[OriginalNameGuy]

Durant could join the fucking Kings and take them to the Finals.

Cause he's Kevin Durant, one of the three best players on earf.

Y'all wild.

You're out of your mind if you think he could take the fucking Kings who's best player is currently Rudy Gay to the finals. He joined Golden State because he couldn't beat them. This team had the Cavs on the absolute brink without him and would have beaten them were it not for the Bogut injury/Draymond suspension. Durant didn't want to fight anymore and wanted the ring so he joined the best team in the league.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

And again

Who the hell did Jordan play in the finals that gave him a real challenge

1992 Trailblazers were a fucking beast.

 

[v0yce]

Why can I not find a gif of JR doing the sweep last round?

Suni please

 

[eBay Huckster]

And again

Who the hell did Jordan play in the finals that gave him a real challenge

Phoenix, maybe

 

[Tall4Life]

The Celtics have only won one championship in the past 30 years

we have it the worst

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

1992 Trailblazers were a fucking beast.

60 plus wins.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Our suffering will NEVER end.

Melo for life!1!1!1!

breh we ain't got shit

yeah yall's came in the 70's, we haven't even made the ECF

T_T

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

If I'm LeBron, I retire and focus on starting a business. If he can't be Jordan on the court, maybe he could beat him in life

This makes a solutely no sense whatsoever.

In business, you diversify your streams of income. This is his largest of many streams.

He's not going anywhere anytime soon.

 

[yuraya]

They kinda have to have that mentality in the locker room now so you can't really blame him for tweeting it. Its either Cavs in 7 or Warriors take the title.

 

[LionPride]

1992 Trailblazers were a fucking beast.

Them and the Suns the only two real teams besides the Jazz with a fucking 35 year old Stockton/Malone wombo combo

 

[Dude Abides]

Yes he's a decent role player.

This thread has gone full retard

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

Brady deflated their balls too.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Now that I think about it, there was a bad missed call this game.



After Iggy stripped Lebron, he slammed the ball like 20 feet in the air.

That's a tech.

Didn't matter in the end.
anyway, carry on.

 

[Kill3r7]

And again

Who the hell did Jordan play in the finals that gave him a real challenge

That 93 Phoenix team was no slouch. Same with the Jazz.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Then someone that actually knows how to play basketball should tweet it.

like damn, i was just complaining that this is gonna embolden more cleveland punching bag posts and then Ever started posting that shit

 

[PadWarrior]

Curry 13 boards
Thompson 3
Lol

 

[LionPride]

Also to people complaining...the Warriors literally built the team by drafting and signing good role players

They literally built a team "the right way"

 

[Frozenprince]

That 93 Phoenix team was no slouch. Same with the Jazz.

The Suns were the only team I fell like could have beat the Bulls straight up, 50/50 if you play that series 10 times.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

This thread has gone full retard

Has been that way for a long time.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Curry 13 boards
Thompson 3
Lol

The rest of the team banning Khloe is his kryptonite.

 

[Tall4Life]

Brady deflated their balls too.

fake news witch hunt scapegoat

 

[Reptars Revenge]

If I'm LeBron, I retire and focus on starting a business. If he can't be Jordan on the court, maybe he could beat him in life

Lol you should leave the Finals OT and start a business OT where you can say this nonsense.

 

[TuXx]

That Durant guy is a pretty good role player

 

[v0yce]

Them and the Suns the only two real teams besides the Jazz with a fucking 35 year old Stockton/Malone wombo combo

So half the teams he played?

 

[PadWarrior]

The rest of the team banning Khloe is his kryptonite.

Lol

No chance the refs call that in Cleveland. There is not a ref on the planet that values the rules that much over their own life.

 

[Frozenprince]

Also to people complaining...the Warriors literally built the team by drafting and signing good role players

They literally built a team "the right way"

They drafted the 2x MVP and only unanimous MVP in league history fucking 7th overall. He was the FIFTH guard taken in the draft.

That's why they so good.

Who the hell did Jordan play in the finals that gave him a real challenge

98 Utah, but that was largely because Pippen's back was gone (like dude could barely walk by the end of that series) and Rodman was more interested in pro wrestling by that point.
