Jr cost the cavs the game

[Rekkapryde]

if u read his lips he clearly said i thought we were up

nikka can't even lie right.....everyone saw what he said.


I do think it's overblown severely that JR LOST THE GAME.

he just dumbfukked their way out of ANOTHER CHANCE to win the game. Totally different situations.

How does everybody on the planet watching know the score of the game and a guy whose actually playing doesn't?

 

[Dushane Hill]

I think Hill is to blame for most of this....let's face it, he makes that freethrow and it puts GS in a tight spot

Making that freethrow was their best shot at that point imo

Jrs fukkery though isn't surprising...he been playing like mouse shyt all year...he just peaked with it in this moment...this fuk up is definitely taking a all of the attention off of Hill tho

This tbh. They probably would have won had he made that.

I'm not making excuses for JR either as he's absolute trash now, but realistically had he gone up for the shot, Durant was right there and probably would have blocked him or at least challenged the shot well enough for it to not go in.

The shyt Bron has to deal with

He is gone next season

Not a cavs fan.. but i avoided the Coli last night because of this play... like.. Come on Jr..

It also kinda looks like he said “I thought we were out...”, like maybe he thought they were out of time outs

I still think Bron should have been on the block to get that board instead of back at half court. He probably would have had a better chance to make the correct play and win the game if he and Jr would have switched places during the FTs

I know JR and Hill catching a lot of heat, but should Ty Lue have called a timeout after JR got the rebound?

No, because JR was 3ft away from the basket and could have layed it back up.

Why even think about calling a timeout when you're literally underneath the basket for a put back?

Calling a timeout would only let the warriors reset on defense and make for a lower percentage shot.

Doesn't get more high percentage than 3ft away from the basket.

Besides, I'm sure Lue was too stunned like the rest of us at what was happening to think about calling a timeout

If george hill made the fts the play wouldn't have even happened in the first place
JR made a dumb play but the game would have been won in OT if the cavs didn't give up

HOF players miss free throws in the clutch. Nobody shoots 100%. I need the players to know the score. I think it’s kind of important to know whether you are winning or not.

Durant was right there waiting to block JR's layup attempt.

I agree in Lue probably not wanting to let GS adjust.

They still had to win a game winner with 4.7 left, I know Lebron is capable but it's still a less than likely outcome

We’ve seen players make game winners in less time frequently. Bron did it himself a couple times just in this playoffs. 4.7 is enough time to drive to the basket. What’s the chances somebody stops Bron coming from he top of the key without fouling him?

there are two things that are more likely to happen that you have to plan for: he makes the free throw and you're up one and golden state has the ball with 4s or he misses and who typically rebounds the ball on a missed FT? the team not shooting right? so if you're planning for the likely scenarios who would you prefer back to defend lebron or JR?

Nobody wants to bring it up but Lebron before that Hill foul, he gotta take that last shot breh, had Curry on him, really it don't matter, Bron has to go with it himself. Drive to hoop/pull up shot/get fouled and get two FTs, it's gotta be on him. Don't put that shyt on a fukkin George Hill breh.

And secondly, fukk those Warriors fans trolling Bron at the end of the game like they all didn't see how close they came to paying ridiculous prices for a first game L and only because of Bron... The audacity.

This stood out. No class whatsoever. They barely escape on the stupidity of JR smith and yet the crowd and some of the GS players were dancing and shyt like they were in a blowout. I haven't seen lame shyt like that since the Miami fans left the stadium at the end of a finals game thinking it was over.

Just trash tier fans all around.

Its cool to place blame on JR but HIll is the one that missed a free throw and no one else called for time out either
