I'm trying to figure out how Bron got a rep as even a decent defender...because of a few spectacular looking chase-down blocks over his career? Because he let Derrick Rose take jumpshots in 2011 when Rose couldn't shoot worth shyt anyway? Who has he locked down? How can he "set the tone" for Cleveland defensively when he's not a great defender?
These bytch ass CLOWNS told me LeBron is a better defender than Scottie Pippen

Still fighting the good fight, eh? Maybe were so used to the "best player on the planet" not even being the best player on the floor in a Finals, that it doesn't even register anymore. Go ahead and cling to the Dream vs Robinson massacre. You're absolutely right, this isn't that type of thrashing. I guess we have to find another example to compare it to.....thanks for your overly sensitive insight on this subject.
This is trash.

If I'm right that it's not this type of thrashing, then it isn't.

LOL @ this being a display of sensitiviy. I called your point trash which it is and gave reasons why. We never saw anyone abused in the manner Hakeem gave D-Rob the beats. The "Dream Shake" had heads like :ohhh: we never saw it before.....never saw it weaponized the way Hakeem did it to son D Rob. And here you are advocating that "the play where he made Bron skid" is akin to the legendary Dream Shake we are still talking about 20 plus years later as one of the greatest go to moves in NBA history.

:camby:

nothing sensitive about my point. This was drubbing of a shyty reach point and I'm pulling rank because you make believe dudes are dusty as fukk with your reach. Doesn't require any heart or emotion on my part to push fingers to say this. Your point is trash and redirected to the bin where it belonged.

Get ad hominem about it.

This nikka deep down wants the Warriors to win. I've seen enough :bryan:
Just stating the facts.

It damn sure ain't LeBron. You always hear people say they'll live with LeBron shooting jumpers because they don't want him driving.

With Durant, you can't dare him to shoot, you can't let him drive, and his mid range game is incredible too.

I'd hate to see how you act when someone disagrees with you. You're being real sensitive about this. I simply drew parallels to the two plays being the Marquee "embarassment" play to signify who's out playing who. Now we gotta be subjected to this "never saw it weaponized before" over analysis. Have at it, man. Like I said, maybe we just need to find a different example so we don't run into this nonsense again.

Dog...you don't know me.

I simply shat on your crappy parallels and you've resorted to turn my writing into some offline reflection of my personality.

Writing and who someone is offline are two very stark differences more often than not. I would hate to be the fool who thinks how one writes reflects their offline persona.


Again...your point was trash and I detailed the reasons.

Let's examine my point again then....I said I agree with you....and then said KD wasn't out playing Bron to the level Dream did Robinson. So what are we really here for? Psycho analysis of a basketball play? Yep....way too sensitive over this buddy.

You're forgetting that LeBron barely played the 4th quarter of Game 1 so he put those numbers up in basically 1 quarter which is equivalent to 36/16/16 lol. Again, the point is simple: If LeBron doesn't put up GREAT numbers his team not only loses, they have no SHOT to win. When LeBron was the best player on the court in the 1st and 2nd quarters they were competitive. When he wasn't balls to the wall dominating in quarter 3, they got run out. NOBODY on GS deals with that. There is no burden on him now like there was in OKC. Its why now everyone is saying 'Durant is unleashed' because he's free to just do what he wants without having to make anyone better or extend himself. He can attack when he wants and chill when he wants


So based on your logic, his 8 TO in game 1 in 3qtrs is that much worse..

My point is checking his stat line does not mean good/bad/great game. If you look at his averages he is doing fine. But when you dig deeper
3rd 4th qtr he isnt being aggressive (had 6 shots in game 2 second half) they wont win shyt with him playing like that
Too many turnovers 12 in 2 games or based on your opinion 1.5 games
He CAN NOT cover KD, not even a little bit. He needs help, which is fine because no one can cover KD, but him trying to is draining him.

There is 2 lebrons
1) aggressive, beast unguarded and a monster, will drive to the net and get 2-3pt play more often than not and put everyone in the paint in foul trouble
2) passive aggressive, this is the one you got in games 1 and 2 in the 2nd half, he holds the ball at the 3pt line and passes off. This is the Lebron I hate, because i will take lebron jacking up 40 shots before i see
a) JR smith taking a dogshyt shot with 2 people in his face
b) Kyrie dribbling like its an AND1 mixtape and taking a bad shot or VERY contested layup
c) Deron Williams/TT and Richard Jefferson even having a slight chance touching the ball.

I said it all year, he plays way to many minutes, hes a freak but hes going to hit a wall sooner or later and he hit it lastnight, you see him huffing and puffing on the bench? You ever see him do that in the past?
