Dragic, why did you choose Sam Cassell?

[JebronLames]

Clutch block

[VengefulAngel]

Great Game, still needs to fix his broke ass 3 point shot though.

[pauk]

Dont forget the defense, he was allover the place and that last block on Rose layup saved the game (from being tied at least).

Next up:

Fixing that damn 3PT% lol

[305Baller]

Agreed. He still has it.

Reminiscent of 2011 ECF,

Derrick just can't help but get stuffed by the King,

[Kingwillball]

His series averages on the Glass are impressive. Averaging 12 Boards per game.

[Magic 32]

Garbage in the second half.

Almost lost a 18 point lead in the 4th.

But the stats won't show. As always.

[oh the horror]

You know times are bad when you're puffing your chest on a victory over the D league.


That's like flexing your muscles after kicking a little kids ass.



Is there anything more embarrassing than the concept of the "Lebron Family?"


When you really peel away the layers, think about how funny that is.

[tmacattack33]

He had a couple other passes to cutters with open lay-ups who then were intentionally fouled as well. Like the one to Thompson with 3 minutes left, right before the one where the same thing happened but Thompson dunked it before the Bulls could foul him.

I was hoping for a 40 point triple double.

Oh well, 38/12/6 and 0 TOs works...with the clutch block on Rose

[SourSamCassell]

Go be negative elsewhere horror you bald ****

[oh the horror]

Don't make me pull your panties off and f*ck you in your own thread baby girl.

[Haymaker]

Getting back all those rebounds he used to give to Love.

[SCdac]

Lebron being Lebron :applause:

[SourSamCassell]

:roll:

Did i strike a nerve there? Keep wearing your hats and french berets you ass head

[D-Wade316]

Fap-worthy performance. :applause:

[Leftimage]

His series averages on the Glass are impressive. Averaging 12 Boards per game.

We might have seen 9-10rpg from him in the regular seasons had Love been absent.

Come to think about it, in terms of rebounding Cavs are pretty damn stacked. Lebron usually isn't left with much when the likes of TT, Mozgov and Love are out there.

[SpaceJammeR]

That block was insane. He timed that perfectly and nothing was getting pass him on that shot

[ShawkFactory]

Garbage in the second half.

Almost lost a 18 point lead in the 4th.

But the stats won't show. As always.
Waaaayyyy too much effort you're giving on this.

He just played an excellent all-around game.

I'm sure he'll give you other opportunities to shit on him. Tonight isn't one of them. Give him a clap and move on.

obvious reach is obvious.

it's understandable though. be better next time sir.

[Indian guy]

Finally made some jumpers and that makes all the difference in the world to that FG%. The type of jumpers he made today aren't remotely sustainable though. Turnaround fadeaways from the post? He probably made more of those today than the entire season combined. With the exception of 1 ridiculously hard 3, I don't recall him make anything facing-up, which are the kind of jumpers he takes. I still see a lot of inefficiency ahead of him. That jumper is B R O K E.

What continues to remain impressive about him though is his rebounding and defense. It's been consistently spectacular all postseason and even in the regular season I thought his D was fantastic. This is the hardest I've seen him play on that end since 2012.

He also made many lay-ups and close little shots. He was attacking and it looked good.

I agree though, the fade-away shots won't last.

[dabigbaws]

Up 17. Lebron checks in they almost lose the game

[ShawkFactory]

Did you turn the tv off after halftime?
His shot wasn't falling like it was in the first.

He was still facilitating, rebounding, playing great defense, and hitting his FTs.

It was a good game and the reason for the comeback was not because of him :confusedshrug:

[DMAVS41]

Absolutely great game. Needed all of it.

[Straight_Ballin]

0 Turnovers!

Yet still leading everyone in the post season in turnovers per game....

Ether is strong.

He's still got it.

You reach I teach


that's why you have to quote MJ to give your post any umph.. Lebron has no alpha sound bites of his own.. :rolleyes:

honestly, back when MJ was playing, it would've been ridiculous to get even remotely pleased about 38 pts in the 2nd round.

[pauk]

honestly, back when MJ was playing, it would've been ridiculous to get even remotely pleased about 38 pts in the 2nd round.

How about if he did 38 by hitting more fieldgoals (14) than freethrows for 58% while playing DPOY defense on 5 positions, getting 12 rebs, 6 assts, 3 stls, 3 blks (one of which saved the game)... against what may be the best team defense in the playoffs at the moment and something equivalent of Butlers/Kawhis/Georges all-defense guarding him (Payton? Pippen? Cooper?).... with a lesser supporting cast, lesser coach, with a sore ankle and two of his best players injured....

Still no?

What do you guys think will come first; a Bron Jimmy championship or pauk's Jordan flop video?

Or do either even end up happening?

MJ did everything you listed many times, only he did it on the big stage, not just 2nd round.. In the 1991 Finals, MJ guarded everyone from Magic (PG), to Vlade (C), while averaging 33 PPG/7 RPG/11 APG/54% - Lebron has never come remotely close to this on any stage, let alone the big stage..

That's just one example of MJ doing it in BIG games - obviously, he had tons and tons of GOAT performances in the early rounds that no one remembers, because it was against lesser teams (like these 2015 Bulls)..

MJ did it in the biggest games, put up better numbers, and dominated to a greater extent.. We'll see whose style results in the most winning by the end of his career - MJ will be ahead by a comfortable margin.

No better or worse than Kobe stans, both groups are worthless. :confusedshrug:

I am not questioning if MJ did it, i know he did, you dont have to randomly glorify him and then act like Lebron was never remotely close to these stats and also act like he was just as versatile defensively as Lebron and so on.... and still not answer my question....

So? Will you answer? When MJ did everything i mentioned in a game was it then also ridiculous to get even remotely pleased?

PS: Who's style results in the most winning by the end of their career can only be accurately measured if both Lebron/Jordan had identical teammates/coach & competition....... teammates/coach which Jordan had & sustained so long which Lebron was never anywhere close to reach & the only great team he ever had was for 4 years which he took immediately to 4 Finals, winning 2, now he is back at the bottom again.....

[3ball]

So? Will you answer? When MJ did everything i mentioned in a game was it then also ridiculous to get even remotely pleased?


Never in the 2nd round.. It MUST be be standard procedure when it's just the 2nd round..

If you're excited about this (i.e. this outcome was uncertain enough for you to be super-relieved), then that's a bad sign for the Cavs

[ILLsmak]

I don't dislike you (just taking this chance to chime in, even tho you're not talking to me.)

I don't think there are many people on here that I dislike. I do think that you have some issues with your LeBron fandom and your random stats.

Like dude LeBron23 is supermad. He's a Bron fan, but he'll also go in on you. I've never seen you go in on someone... basically ever, but you do kinda have your way of passive aggressively "trolling." It might not seem like trolling to you, but it riles a lot of people up.

That and the fact that you don't wanna be like I AM A HUGE LEBRON FAN, SO OF COURSE I'M A LITTLE BIASED! is why people are bothered, I think.

But you definitely have a lot of agenda threads, it seems like secretly you believe LeBron might be the GOAT, and that opinion doesn't work over here.

I think people might like you more if you were just honest though. Not trolling, but just like really being yourself instead of trying to undertone and veil everything.

Just my 2c, peace.

Why do you do this? Your stupidity is setting yourself up... You know how many players have a better +/- than Kobe? You know how GOOD LeBron's is, all-time? See how much it matters to you, then.

Against orlando he averaged 38.5ppg 8rpg 8 apg
Against celtics he averaged 33,6ppg 11rpg 4apg
Against OKC he averaged 28,6ppg 10,2rpg 7,5apg.

Considering the pace difference around 10-15% on average he actually did average MJ numbers actually even though cavs lost to magic,that was probably the most impressive numbers we have seen to this date.

Jordan didn't just do it 3 times - he AVERAGED those numbers:


PLAYOFF AVERAGES THRU 30 YRS OLD:

Jordan: 35 PPG / 7 APG / 50% FG
Lebron: 28 PPG / 6 APG / 48% FG


FINALS AVERAGES THRU 30 YRS OLD:

Jordan: 36 PPG / 8 APG / 50% FG
Lebron: 24 PPG / 6 APG / 46% FG

Source: basketball-reference.com


Lebron literally needs 1.5 Finals games to match 1 from MJ (24 PPG to Jordan's 36 PPG).. As the stats show, Jordan carried 25% more scoring burden in the playoffs and 50% more in the Finals, yet he still averaged more assists, less TO's, all on better efficiency.

As for pace - the difference is 3% - during MJ's first 3-peat (1991-1993), the Bulls' pace was 95.6, 94.4 and 92.5, whereas Miami's pace for 2012 was 91.3.

Yes Bulls had a slow pace because there whole offence was built around MJ... you look at league pace when comparing.

There was no "10-15% pace difference." In the Lebron playoff series you cited, they played at an 89-92 pace. The '89-'93 Bulls played at an 88-91 pace in the postseason. Nice try, though. I also find it hysterical of you to invoke "pace" when Lebron dominates the ball FAR more than Jordan ever did (especially back then, in the series you cited), regardless of how many possessions there were in the game.

Jordan's 43.0 pts/6.6 reb/7.4 ast/4 stl/1 blk/55% FG/62% TS vs. Philly in 1990 at a 92.0 pace is equal to or better than Lebron's 38.5 pts/8.2 reb/8.0 ast/1 stl/1 blk/49% FG/59% TS against Orlando at a 90.0 pace.

[OldSchoolBBall]

Err, no you don't. You look at the pace their teams ACTUALLY PLAYED AT.

[Velocirap31]

Kobe stans got nothing, so the MJ stans chime in instead. Ish.

[Quickening]

Err, no you don't. You look at the pace their teams ACTUALLY PLAYED AT.

Ermmm no. If Lebron played in the 80s he would score more ppg because the league was a higher pace.

Just because MJ led teams had slower pace for their era because he took ages to get shots off, doesn't impact what lebron would do.

[LeBird]

We're gonna have to put half the forum (3ball especially) on suicide-watch if Lebron wins another ring.

[OldSchoolBBall]

Ermmm no. If Lebron played in the 80s he would score more ppg because the league was a higher pace.


Not if his team wasn't playing at a higher pace. That's the point. You seem clueless about how pace works. Team pace shows what pace a team ACTUALLY played at. League average is a LEAGUE average.


Just because MJ led teams had slower pace for their era because he took ages to get shots off, doesn't impact what lebron would do.

Ages to get a shot off? That's rich considering that Jordan's scoring attempts were usually generated within 2-5 seconds of him having the ball, whereas Lebron has/had the ball for like 10-15+ seconds every possession, typically needing 8+ seconds to generate a scoring attempt. Hysterical. :roll:

I thought it was a very good game for James but nothing really special. What you posted puts things in a little different perspective. Just goes to show how much is expected from James and to how high standards he is held to.

[HurricaneKid]

I thought it was a very good game for James but nothing really special. What you posted puts things in a little different perspective. Just goes to show how much is expected from James and to how high standards he is held to.

To be fair, he decidedly cruised for a while in the 4th. He was doing that thing where he gets the ball and holds it for 15 seconds before he settles for a longer J than nec. I'm pretty sure its just to get his wind back when he is tired. Normally he would just have Wade/Kyrie take a possession and sit in the corner resting. But Kyrie can't take that load right now.

To have that line against Jimmy Butler when there is no one on the team capable of breaking down the D (with Kyrie learly hobbled) it was a remarkable achievement. And yes, its unfair when expectations get so high that even historically great games are minimized.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Even stats aside, his energy was amazing that game. His effort on D was really good with the 3 blocks. He was really putting a lot of effort into getting rebounds, and forced a couple of jump balls too

Here's a couple of those blocks:
