2018 NBA FINALS THREAD: WARRIORS WIN 3RD TITLE IN 4 SEASONS

[freeze]

Yeah, he sure is scared to shoot them clutch shots..

Seriously though? You're going to mention that in the playoffs where he had not one but two game winning buzzer beaters? Michael Jordan had three during his entire career. He passed the ball because Hill had an open layup had Klay not fouled him, which is a ten times higher percentage shot than a contested jumper. And he was calling for the ball while JR was having his meltdown, but as we all know JR didn't pass it.

HUGE difference between a tie game clutch shot and being down 1. One there's no risk. The other...you lose.

Those shots of brons need context. he's good money when the game is tied. Whaaa bout when they're down though? How many go ahead shots has he hit?

No one feels bad for JR Smith? I don't, but there's a part of me that has sympathy for him.

GSW fans booed this man for chop blocking Klay and possibly injuring him. Then the entire Cavs fan base boos him for having a mental fart and blows the game for Clev. Poor guy.

He makes millions and drives a better car than any of us on this site...probably has a bigger house than any of us in here... still feel bad ? I don't

Thursday night’s game, which again saw the Cleveland Cavaliers take on the Golden State Warriors, drew an 12.3 rating in Nielsen’s metered market households. For comparison, 2017’s Game 1 drew a 12.4 household rating.

"Best ratings in history" = not even as good as the ones last year

The point that more people would become interested in this series had the overwhelmingly massive underdogs Cavs won last night still stands. And those who thought the Cavs had even a small chance prior to last night think their chances are even smaller after such a demoralizing and crushing loss. Last night's rig job = Permanent evidence

When the Cavs go down 3-0. Those ratings will go down

Man... This forum is good for more laughs than Chappelle's show. The same hypocrite haters who hype up Kyrie's 3 from 2016 while the game was tied at 89 as the clutchest LeBron-saving shot ever are going to lecture me how LeBron's shots aren't really clutch because the game is tied? That is priceless. The only difference is that there were 53 seconds left in the game when Kyrie hit that shot while LeBron's are actual buzzer beaters.

chances like that ONLY comes once in a blue moon versus the GSW


CAVS blew it

Speak for yourself. How are you so sure?

Bron fans posting memes and italicized banter all morning, series delivering more than expected

People like to change the definition of the word "clutch" just to better fit their baseless arguments.

Nvm read it wrong

 

[Clyde Frog]

I feel bad for JR. He's getting 100% of the blame when its like 15% his fault.

The response is 20x worse today than back when Weber messed up or something. Gotta be real tough on a human beings mental.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Nvm read it wrong

Read it again

 

[throwback1718]

I feel bad for JR mainly because he has children and a family that has to hear these things about a person that they look up to /admire

 

[casper90403]

show of hands, who here really truly believes Lebron is the GOAT. I dont believe this at all. Any time I see it posted, I assume troll.

Lebron haters think we all feel like he's the greatest. He ain't even close to MJ. I don't want to be grouped in with this group.

I need to know who really believes he's the greatest ever.

 

[EZMONEY SERVANT]

guess it aint everybody who waits til AFTER the damn game to blow clouds

fool

 

[619destroyer858]

He'll bounce back next game(JR),he didnt do a good job taking down Klay ,he needs to learn from ZaZa Pachulia,Reggie Miller and Jalen Rose how to undercut stars

 

[MVP]

 

[moe200069]

Not quite. The fact that the league didn't suspend Curry for game 7 for hitting a fan in his mouth with his mouthpiece stands in the way of your attempt at trolling.

although he clearly violated NBA policy around bench players leaving the bench, the NBA is not suspending kevin love for running on the court after tristan's tantrum. Warriors 2018 champions. IT WAS WRITTEN

 

[619destroyer858]

Kevin Love already on the court before all the DRAMA


so there is NO WAY he will get suspended for the game 2

Not the GOAT but is and will be better than a majority of his haters' favorite players

 

[DLF]

so help me out here:

Bron fans are saying that they should not have reviewed and changed the charge to a block EVEN though it was ultimately the CORRECT call

so by that logic, Bron stans want incorrect calls.

 

[trynafeelmink]

The thing that always gets me about these Lebron stats is that his supporters are so eager to bring them up when he loses, without mentioning the direct correlation with their no help excuses. If the team is so bad it's pretty understandable that a top player of all time would put up Great stats no?

 

[dman14]

NBE won. they are dominating the headlines

 

[Deleted member 37467]

Are the last however many pages worth going back and reading or did the usual suspects show up and trash the thread?

Someone fill me in.

 

[dland24]

NBE won. they are dominating the headlines

Never even heard of the National Bank of Egypt until I just looked it up.

 

[Quincy McCall]

Understated but KD really hasn't helped GS much in the clutch, at least there isn't a big difference from before outside of edgy iso's
