He reminded me of an extremely rich man's Wilt Chamberlain: Great raw numbers but failed the eye test and much like Wilt - a poor showing in crunch time especially from the FT line.

Unlike certain other fan-bases, the LeBron Family is 100% unbiased/objective so we can admit when the King has a poor game.

It's true. He spent too much time dribbling on the perimeter and taking shots late in the clock. At the same time, he was getting to the basket, drawing fouls, and playing good defense on Harden. All he had to do was connect on his free throws, but he didn't. Happens to everyone

He choked big time in crunch time. The Cavs went too iso heavy to finish the game and should've just played their normal offense. LeBron was never as great as Kobe/MJ on iso plays with a set defender in front of him.

He didn't play great, but he didn't play poorly.

The intensity was there. He had several steals and played great defense on Harden. He also made clutch shot after clutch shot, including that ridiculous spinning fade away jumper right before OT.

Had he shot 5-11 instead of 3-11 from the line, the world is on his nuts right now.

Meh. If Harden doesn't inexplicably get a 3-point play for elbowing Thompson in the face, the game never goes to overtime.

He's been doing that his hold career. Always makes the pace snail-like while pounding the ball at the top of the key for 10-15+ seconds.

The only time he really cut this down were in occasional spurts during his time in Miami, and when he did, the Heat's offense was unstoppable.

He's just not gonna ever change it at this point.

Name a time when Larry Bird played poorly in crunch time.

That's why Larry is the GOAT SF.

Why is Mozgov never out there in the 4th quarter?
