It's not like GS was having a great game either.

[Blue&Orange]

Forty-seven minutes into Friday's 48-minute game, the Cleveland Cavaliers managed to miss 62 of the 92 shots they attempted as a team. And yet the scoreboard showed just a 3-point lead for the defending-champion Golden State Warriors.
And the Knicks vs cavs with 45 of the 48 minutes played, playing without Melo, scoreboard showed a tie.

Hence Knicks >> GSW


So this is why Lebrotards are so dumb, espn.

Cavs shot 38% while the Knicks shot 39%

Cavs shot 31% compared to GS 41%


bad comparison on your part.

Embarrassing.

ESPN is basically talking down the entire LeBron fanbase from jumping off a building :roll: :roll:

ESPN also didn't give out Christmas Day MVP either, and we know why.

[WorldWarriors]

So losing is the new winning?

[Kawhi]

One that actually watched the game did see Cleveland miss a ton of open looks, especially in the first half. That is where they should have blown the game wide open. James' shot is broken, but Irving isn't going 0/6 on open looks again. He is lethal.

[WorldWarriors]

Well I'm watching the game again right now on NBA tv. There were some open looks and some shots were well defended especially at the rim. Warriors had at least 3 blocks in the first quarter.

golden state also missed extremely wide-open and makeable baskets but no one ever mentions that :facepalm

Agreed, but there is a difference between Kyrie Irving, and Andre Iguodala or Brandon Rush.. However, I wasn't impressed by either team.

Indeed.

Well, the stanleys do try to convince us 2/6 is something to be proud of.

[WorldWarriors]

I'll take nothing away from the Cavs defense because it was great. But the Warriors played great defense as well.

[FKAri]

Moral loss for "superstars"

[WorldWarriors]

I mean it's nothing to be ashamed of either.

Ordinarily, no. But when ESPN and the stanleys proclaim Lebron the GOAT, well...

[WorldWarriors]

I hear you. But it's ESPN. I'm not happy with how they overdo their coverage on Curry and the Warriors. They take a narrative and run it in the ground. Endless comparison to Jordan and the Bulls need to stop.

Wow LESPN managed to reach a new level of stupidity:applause:

The cavs only lost because they missed more shots, so if they made more they would have won:lol :lol :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

[brownboyfly]

Moral victories is for minor league coaches.
