JR Smith is truly retarded. That is the easiest look Lebron would have gotten all playoffs. Completely wide open, not a defender near, all defenders back turned. Wow
why didn't anybody on Cleveland call a timeout...I'm guessing they expected JR to find a quick opportunity in that split second and thought by calling a timeout it would give wizards a better opportunity to defend
i was high as fukk and knew the game was tied.
lmao for context a bunch of threads got merged.
the thread that was posted in was named "JR IS PROOF SMOKING WEED RUINS YOUR BRAIN" or some shyt.
Yea i seen that thread before the merge. Still hilarious i was
tooYou don’t put a game winner on the road in the Finals on a George Hill player breh. Bron balled all game. Got the switch with curry. He’s gotta take the last shot, or he’s on the ft line shooting those FTs. You hoping that a basically average player with no Finals experience whatsoever will do something clutch on the road. You saw how shook he was shooting those FTs.
That’s gotta be on Bron.
The way bron balled I’d take him shooting a gw over assuming hill would know what to do in that sequence. And especially thinking hill could be mentally tough enough to hit two clutch FTs.
That nikka was SHOOK
That's what I'm saying brehs......Bron cost himself that game 1. He's supposed to be the alpha, the mental boss on that team. There's less than 10 seconds left, you're down 1 on the road in the finals, and you got 6'3 Curry on you. You been ballin, jumper been pretty wet. Bron has to be the one in the end, win or lose. Drive, pull up J, try to get fouled and Bron takes those FTs.
People can blame JR and Hill for whatever but think about those players brehs, they're not the players you want deciding whether you win or lose in the Finals, on the road. Hill has what, zero Finals experience? They're not mentally strong enough yet to be reliable. I'm 100% sure Hill wanted no parts of being the hero at that part of the game.
That's where dem stats can skew shyt. "a 2 foot layup is better than a 20 ft jumper''. Not in these situations, with these types of players. Expecting a George Hill to know what to do in that situation, and to be able to hit clutch FTs on the road in a Finals game, is fools gold. I'd take my chances on Bron being able to do something vs Curry on him. Bron's gotta take that.
The star player doesn't ALWAYS take the shot. Kobe and Jordan won titles from passing the ball to role players in those situations. This only becomes an issue when it's a miss.
Big Shot Bob had to get a first shot at some point.
Big shot bob was mentally tougher than Hill breh. Being in Houston early in his career prolly made him mentally tough.
Again, Hill wanted no parts of that sequence. He didn't want that shot, he didn't want those FTs. You just don't put the game, a road Finals game, in the hands of an inexperienced mentally ill-equipped player. That Cavs play was not drawn up for Hill to win them that game. It's Lebron, he's gotta make it happen, win or lose you can live with him deciding it. Drive/Shoot/get to the line, put it on Bron.
MJ passed the ball typically when he was doubled and also when a play was drawn up for someone like Kerr/Paxson. Kerr wanted those shots, he told MJ "i'll be open, i'll make it''. He was mentally there. Paxson was even mentally tougher by the time he dropped that shot on the Suns, it was their 3rd run to a title. He'd been there before.
And both Kerr/Paxson were only asked to do what they were specialized in, make a jumpshot. They weren't slashing to the basket.
But I guarantee if MJ had the ball w/a 6'3 guy single covering him, he's not making that pass to a mentally weak George Hill to win a road Finals game.
I was waiting for this
