Lebron also possessed the ball for more than double the amount of time KD. Lebron averaged having the ball in his hands for 7.9 minutes per game of the finals compared to 3.5 minutes per game for Durant. Considering that you'd expect Lebron's numbers to dwarf Durants.

which highlights how easy Durant's job was compared to lebron's because of how stacked the warrior's were. lebron couldn't even sit because the Cavs would fall to shyt while Warriors lost no ground with Durant sitting

lebron had a bigger load to carry on his end




.he did nothing more than wave ride while only having to provide spot offense while/after resting because his team was so stacked

while durant had the lesser load and couldn't stop lebron:usure:

Or we can take a closer look at his bench stench which has not merely been “bad,” but historically putrid. How putrid? It’s worse than you think.

LeBron James can't even afford to spend two minutes on the bench during the Finals.

LEBRONS’s BENCH STENCH IN 5 STATS:

1) 12 Points in Two Minutes

The Korver play overshadowed Game 3’s most demoralizing example of LeBron’s bench burden that has lasted his whole career. LeBron played 46 of 48 minutes. Here were the incredible results:



Cavs were +7 points in 46 minutes with LeBron

Cavs were -12 points in 2 minutes with LeBron on the bench

LeBron sat for just two minutes: Game. Series. Rubber Match.

In the same game, Kevin Durant sat seven minutes, and the scoring differential remained the same.

LeBron's astonishing bench stench real reason for Finals losses

Seriously need to stop making threads based on what trolls say. If someone's job is literally to be contrarian and controversial for ratings, then their opinion is useless here. Stop hurting America.

Except you ignore that Durant is playing in an offense where he's often paired with the two greatest shooters in the NBA and two other weapons. And with most of those guys matched against shyt defenders - Kyrie, Love, Jefferson, Korver, Deron getting OWNED in every one-on-one matchup. Literally every time he touches the ball he either has an immediate scoring opportunity or an immediate assist opportunity. He doesn't need to "do" anything to get buckets and assists, so why does it matter how long the ball is in his hands?

Lebron, on the other hand, is trying to figure out how to break how to break down a team full of defensive talent (usually Draymond, Iggy, Klay, Durant all on the court at once) while basically playing 3-on-5 on offense with any two of TT, Jefferson, Shump, and Deron on the court at any one time. Cavs gave 382 minutes in the series to players who couldn't score on the Warriors if their life depended on it, and that doesn't even count 97 minutes of a trash deer-in-the-headlights performance from Korver. Counting Korver, that means half of the teammates on the court with Lebron at any one time were useless on offense for the Cavs. Warriors only had to guard Lebron and 2 other guys, and they had 4-5 elite defenders to do it with.

I mean come on now, the Cavs were rotating Jefferson/TT onto Durant and giving no help behind them....while Warriors were rotating Iggy/Draymond onto Lebron AND usually spying on him with a 2nd player.

So of course Lebron is going to have to work way harder than Durant to create buckets...


What you want to ignore is that with the clear fact that Lebron had the ball more than twice as long as Durant and had to work more than twice as hard for his buckets, he's not going to have the same energy left on the defensive end as a much fresher player who is 5 years younger than him.

Lebron routinely had 20+ point halfs. He was getting what he wanted easy as fukk. What hurt them is he couldn't sit down for more than 2 minutes without the Warriors making it a blowout.


Lebron can't stop KD though, that's true. KD didn't stop him either though. Warriors would put Iggy on Bron a lot too.

And that's LeBron's fault for constructing the team that way. He insists on that style of play, rendering the team useless when he sits.

knew sas would go with the 'kd avg 35' talk...that's all he's been saying to try to make a point.....and while that sounds nice, it's full of shyt cause he's ignoring that bron avg 33, while avg a triple double in the same series...so it's not like kd was crushing bron the way he acts...for the most part, they cancelled each other out, which means it comes down to the rest of the teams....and the rest of warriors team is better than the rest of the cavs, plain and simple...

Sounds like the OKC-Heat finals but coming out of that everyone was ok running with the Lebron owns KD narrative:martin:
