OH SO HE DIDNT PLAY 53 STRAIGHT MINUTES?
No need when you have the ability to make your teammates better. It's called leadership
KD blew a 3-2 lead...reminds me of 2016...lets talk about it

THIS nikka REALLY LIVES
IN AN ALTERNATE REALITY.
BRONS 51 LOST ITS VALUE
BECAUSE HE GOT SWEPT AND
CAME OUT THE LOCKER ROOM
WEARING A CAST.
TYPICAL BRON CLOWN shyt.
ORLANDO?
WHOLE TEAM WAS HEALTHY
AND FAVS TO WIN THE EAST.
NOW ORLANDO WITH RAFER ALSTON
AT PG WAS THE SUPERIOR TEAM?
BOSTON?
BRON SHOT 32% FG 21%3P
IN THE 1ST 6 GMS.
2017?
HE WAS STAT PADDING
AND ANYONE WITH 2 EYES
COULD SEE THAT.
YOURE A HOMOSEXUAL.
Show me a mod who calls posters "a homosexual" cause he's getting embarrassed in an argument.
Just like I predicted you made random excuses for why every Bron loss was different and none even mentioned his play.
Multiple players confirmed that Bron broke his hand and there are pictures where you can see the swelling, but suddenly Bron's performance "doesn't count" because of something that didn't even happen on the court?
Bron balled his ass off in 2009, are you going to deny that every one of his teammates got completely outplayed? And it's somehow his fault they couldn't guard their men for shyt?
Celtics had the #1 defense in 2008 and it was entirely focused on Bron cause Cleveland had 0 other offensive threats. He shot just as well against them as Kobe did both years. But what does Bron's shooting % in Games 1-6 have to do with how he balled out in Game 7?
Bron's best games were the CLOSEST ones in 2017. He scored 2, 2, and 2 in the 4th quarter of the three blowouts but now he was "stat-padding"? You don't even care about reality.
And you ignored 2015 completely.
You claimed there wasn't an example where Bron did what KD did tonight and got blamed, I put up EIGHT examples and you just proved me right by making up the dumbest reasons you could to blame Bron for every one of them.
Since the Nets were favored in this game they should have won just like Bron in 2009, right? No excuses. KD cost the Nets the win by shooting with his foot on the line and then went 0-6 in overtime. KD cost the Nets by shooting just 37% from the field and 25% from 3pt in Games 3/4. KD cost the Nets by making them sign DAJ who was completely unplayable. KD cost the Nets by having them trade away their depth to bet on Harden. If I wanted to find a stupid reason to blame him for the loss I could do it just as easy as you did. But I don't, cause I actually evaluate players on the basketball they play. KD is not the reason the Nets lost, he left it all on the court and just didn't have the help.
You evaluate EVERY performance by whatever serves your constant beefs. It's embarrassing and everyone sees it.

Since you didn't say anything back, im guessing you gave up arguing that Jrue and Khris aren't top teammates
Blake played good but, that's still 3 vs. 2 last time I checked or did we forget how to count
Edit: I know you not bringing up Harden who was 2 out of 12

Unfortunately true. Which is sad because that last shot would've been replayed for a decade.

2015- He swept a 60 win Hawks team with no Love and Kyrie played only 49 minutes (1.5 games) that series.
Curry also dropped 47 against the Raptors while being boxed and one'd and tripled with ZERO offensive help - not only did Klay and KD go down, but Draymond's offensive game had already eroded at that point (he could only score or assist well when Curry was on the court: otherwise he'd brick and turn it over). And Boogie was inefficient dull as well in his limited minutes. And their bench was washed (Livingston literally retired after, Iguodala hasn't really started significant minutes since then).Look at all the fukking qualifications he throws in there.
Bron scored 51 points in 48 minutes against a STACKED Warriors team and scored 5 points in the final minute to put it into overtime, but people here still talked mad shyt about Bron when they lost that game even though it was Hill and J.R. who fukking blew it.
And that was a better performance than KD tonight cause the talent gap his team was facing was much bigger, the defenders he faced were better, it was in the fukking Finals, and he shot far better than KD did....but you'll still nitpick dumb shyt as to why that time it was okay to talk shyt about Bron but this time you're bushing KD threads and giving people warnings.
Or Orlando too in 2009, people STILL talk shyt about that series even though he averaged 40-8-8. Lost a game where he put up 49-6-8 on 20-30 shooting and hit the three-point play to put them up 2 with 25 seconds left, lost a 44-12-7 game where he hit two free throws with 0.5 seconds left to send the game into overtime, then scored 10 in overtime including a 3pt with 5 seconds left that cut the lead to 1 but it wasn't enough. Posters like you still talk shyt about him not winning that series.
45-5-6 in Game 7 against Boston in 2008 (scored 13 in the 4th but it wasn't enough), 39-11-9 and 41-13-8 on ridiculous shooting in losses against stacked Golden State in 2017 (was being guarded by every elite defender they had all that matters is KD hitting a 3pt), 44-8-6 and 40-14-11 in losses to Golden State in 2015 (once again supporting cast worse than KD's and facing a better team). He still gets mocked for every one of those, including by dumbasses like you.
Worst. Mod. On. The. Internet.
People still crowned him
2007, 2015, 2018.
In 2018 he beat the Pacers by going 44-12-5 and 2 steals (clutch fts in last 30 seconds preserved the win), 32-13-7 and 2 blocks, 44-10-8 and the game-winning buzzer-beater 3pt, and then 44-8-7 and 4 steals in Game 7
#2 scorer: K-Love with 11ppg on 33% shooting
#3 scorer: JR Smith with 8ppg on 32% shooting
#4 scorer: Korver with 8ppg on 37% shooting
Especially considering that none of those three were playing defense for shyt, I don't see how anyone has a better case for winning by themselves.
Same year he beat the Celtics in the ECF by going 27-5-12 with 2 steals/2 blocks, 44-5-3 and 2 steals, 46-11-9 and 3 steals, and 35-15-9 with 2 blocks in Game 7.
#2 scorer: K-Love with 12ppg on 37% shooting
#3 scorer: George Hill 9ppg on 45% shooting
#4 scorer: Jeff Green 9ppg on 44% shooting
Bron doing it just as much by himself to get to the Finals there as KD was trying to do tonight.
Could also mention 2015 ECF, with K-Love out and Kyrie hobbled and barely played. Or 2007 ECF against the stacked Pistons when Boobie Gibson, a 6'0" 2nd-round rookie with no defense who was basically a G-league player, was his #2 scorer with 13ppg

Yep, could also talk about Kawhi in 2019, Jimmy Butler last year and Bron multiple times
I don't think you can compare either of those to what Durant was trying to do here. The Raptors were already an elite team without Kawhi (had been to multiple ECF before and went 19-4 that year in games Kawhi missed), they locked it down on defense and Kawhi wasn't even the leading scorer in 3 of their last 6 wins in the ECF/Finals. Lowry/Siakim were straight balling in a lot of those games.
And Jimmy Butler last year showed out big in a couple Finals games, but his role players were the ones who got the Heat there just as much as Butler did. In the first round Butler was the #2 scorer behind Dragic and in the ECF he was the #4 scorer behind Bam, Dragic, and Herro. Wasn't the main rebounder or distributor either and Bam's interior defense literally won them games.
The only time Lebron played a player like prime Giannis in the East was prime Dwight and what happened? Lebron also had HCA and Dwight was missing his AS guard. This was a similar series.
The East got way better in recent years don't kid yourself. Damn near every contender got a superstar in their prime.
Celtics - Tatum, Jaylen damn close too
Hawks - Trae, Collins, Capela, Bogdan
Sixers - Embiid, Simmons, Tobias
Bucks - Giannis, Middleton, Jrue
When Lebron was going through the East the teams he went through
Celtics - led by 5'6 Isaiah Thomas
Celtics - led by Al Horford
Craptors - led by DeFrozen who can't even make an AS team or playoffs in the West
Pacers - led by Paul George who was a joke in the West for 3 straight years
Hawks - led by Al Horford and Paul Millsap (this Trae Hawks team is better than any of those ATL teams)
Pacers - led by Oladipo
Pistons - led by Andre Drummond
Bulls - led by 22yo D Rose, also had peak Wade and Bosh
Bucks - led by Monta Ellis
Sixers - led by Jrue Holiday and Andre Iguodala
took those geezer 2012 Celtics to 7 and nearly beat em
