Why didn't he make the Dallas defense pay?

His shooters couldn't hit their shots. Bosh shot a pathetic 40% while washed up Mike Bibby was even worse. :facepalm
Steph on the other hand got bailed out by Iggy in crunch time. With the exception of game 5, every back breaking/momentum changing 3 was made by Iggy, not Curry. There is a reason not one single voter thought Curry deserved Finals MVP.

Because he's not a good finals performer as indicated by his piss poor finals win/loss ratio. He let himself get manhandled by iggy. He shot 29%. Looking forward to seeing which next role player will single cover bran and win FMVP.....just a matter of time just like Terry made him his btch against Dallas.

How well did MJ play in is 4th and 5th straight Finals appearance?

I don't understand why people cannot accept that Marion locked down Lebron, fair and square. lebron had horrible FG% against Dallas in the regular season. It wasn't a surprise. Marion locked down Durant and Kobe too. Just give him respect.

Even in his Phoenix days he guarded Dirk better than anyone I have ever seen. I hate it when people generate excuses for their favorite player.

2011 LeBron simply wasn't as a good as '15 Curry.

Lebron took the 3rd most shots on the team. He shot 48%

He was playing 3rd scorer because Dwyane and Chris wanted some shine

lol most of his made baskets were in garbage time.

Miami actually made a huge mistake in not going more to Bosh, he could've gotten Dirk into foul trouble like he did Game 6.

Why can't Lebron even score 63 points in a playoff game like MJ did in his 2nd season in the league? The guy goes to the finals 5 straight times and can't even show you a playoff game anywhere close to a 2nd year Jordan?

lol I don't care about being a Lebron fan or not.

I'm talking about basketball strategy. Miami should have gone inside more to Bosh and tried to get Dirk and/or Chandler into foul trouble. The Mavs squad was loaded with excellent perimeter defenders with the sole exception of Terry. Dallas was thin up front. I think that was Miami's biggest tactical error.

Thank you for acknowledging that Lebron has always had the odds against him in majority of his finals

The odds are against him because he's a proven time and time again that he doesn't have to Jordan killer instinct to ensure victory when you have a team good enough to be in the finals.

Thank you for proving he did not choke in 2011 because the stats show he played VERY well for a 3rd option

The fact he was a 3rd option in his absolute prime is the very reason he did choke. He was inexplicably passive

Game plan orientated. Dwyane said let me and Chris take the wheel.

Yet he wasn't in the next 2 Finals that Miami won...... after Wade handed the team over to James.

That doesn't seem odd to you? Held back for the sake of Wade?

Nothing more beta than having a losing finals record because of absolute shit 4th qtr play by bron. Do we need to bring up every 4th qtr finals game and stats that bron has ever played in and compare it to Jordan or are Bron's numbers so shitty and embarrassing for his insecure fans that they might just stop posting altogether causing Jeff to yell at me about reduced site traffic?
