Who going to show out now that elimination games coming up?

[Professor Emeritus]

The playoff elimination game is the highest-pressure game in basketball...win or go home. Harden and Wall facing them right now, Kawhi and IT might have them coming too if they can't win on the road.

This is what they're measuring up against - stats for some of the best elimination game performers of the modern era:

I didn't have all the stats for older players, but some of the stuff I did have:

Kareem went 12-13 in 25 elimination games, averaged 25.9ppg

Wilt went 13-11 in 24 elimination games, averaged 30.6ppg

Jerry West went 12-11 in 23 elimination games, averaged 30.4ppg

Bill Russell went 16-2 in 18 elimination games, averaged 15.6ppg




Here's a smattering of some of the best elimination game performances by superstars in the last 30 years (tried to include everyone's best game at least).

I got Kawhi too as long as he healthy....hoping he's ready to start just taking the outcome into his own hands.

I feel like this thread is really about Lebron
"heres what they are measuring up against "



Great numbers tho

If this was Hollywood I'd write this shyt like:

Kawhi is a game time decision.
Doesn't start.
Spurs down 8 at the half.
Kawhi comes out Willis Reed style and scores 22 in the 2nd half with a clutch steal to seal it with 35 seconds remaining.







I think this is going 7 games tho.

 

[NoMorePie]

John Wall going for 50 in game 6.

I mean, you're definitely right that it's about the established guys. I started seeing some of those numbers and was just thinking about the right time to introduce it.

Bron's performances in the clutch are absolutely sick, but Hakeem and Jordan in there making you go as well.

 

[Stress Welker]

Manu because that is what the Spurs do.

Bron is an elimination game godzilla

With that said I feel we gonna see something special from Kawhi tonight...or if I'm wrong he will show out in game 7

I saw some rumors going around last night that John Wall was seen partying hardbody in the club the day before the Celtics game....dont know how true it is but if it is that's not a good look

This Wiz-Celts series is baffling to me. Jae Crowder has been way more impactful than I would have expected.

 

[King Poetic]

harden

rockets will win the next 2, because LMA about to freeze up

 

[Captain Crunch]

We need Oubre to dunk on Olynk for the culture.

 

[DIMES]

Probably IT. He's king of the 4th this year

 

[inndaskKy]

Probably IT. He's king of the 4th this year

King of the 4th step

Of course it is. If @The Dankster makes a thread, 9/10 it's about LeBron.
