Cleveland could have only won by 3's. Everyone knew this including the announcers, the fans, and LeBron.


This is the very definition of stat padding

Steve Kerr cost them the championship. He left this dude in there after that play? :biggums: I would have benched him for the remainder of the 4 mins left in the season.

But MCL injury

In 2015 Curry put on one of the most clutch performances in Finals history

Most 4th Quarter Points during the Finals

1995 Shaquille O'Neal 11.5
2000 Shaquille O'Neal 11.5 (61.1% TS)
2015 Stephen Curry 10.8 (75.1% TS)
1997 Michael Jordan 10.7 (55.1% TS)
1998 Michael Jordan 10.6 (50.6% TS)
2011 Dirk Nowitzki 10.3 (68.0% TS)
1993 Michael Jordan 10.3


In the 2016 Finals he was not able to play as well as he did in 2015

What happened in 2016 that didn't happen in 2015? The major MCL injury

Therefore we can conclude that Curry's MCL injury was the differentiating factor which lowered Curry's production

Also had shoulder injury yup.

[AirBonner]

The GOAL of a team is to OUTSCORE the opponent. SCORING is good. If a team can't stop you from scoring its called stat padding huh? suck a dick op.

[Fudge]

The very definition of a meltdown.

I love it.

[livingby3's]

is this the type of attention you crave for in life?

[MoBe1Kanobi]

OP is right

I still have yet to hear someone justify why lebron is taking only layups when that is clearly what the defense is giving up because it doesn't benefit lebrons TEAM only LEBRON

and that right there is the definition of selfishness in a team sport IMO not chucking away 3s and probably lowering ur FG % ala kobe because you feel the will to win and at that point even taking impossible 3s(that you've practiced) is more ideal then taking the useless layup
:coleman:

[TomCat]

I agree.

Bran would just take layup after layup when the game is already done. He added what..8 points in a losing effort this playoff just to pad his fg%

[warriorfan]

Just So we are clear, LeBron stat padded
