First time LeBron is able to score on volume with efficiency is when the top 2 block leaders of the playoffs are unable to play...

Just another coincidence doe!

:oldlol:

[tpols]

Lebron chase down on Iggy
Lebron chase down n curry

Why couldn't the player who had the greatest offensive season in recent memory and back to back MVPs close it out in Games 5, 6, or 7?

3. Hassan Whiteside - 28


Not gonna lie, I know the Heat's first series went 7 but he got hurt midway through Round 2, didn't play again, and still finished in the top 2 in playoff blocks. :bowdown: I think Hassan is overrated like hell as a basketball player, but that's impressive af.

And to think, he still underperformed his season block averages by almost a full BPG. :eek:

whiteside is a beast, he's so damn long, like Bynum long, that he could be completely out of the picture, a guy goes for a layup and he swats it out of nowhere.. which did a ton of great things for miami.. blocks kept in play are huge momentum changers....

Because he's Stephen Curry

[warriorfan]

Because he's Stephen Curry

Yes, one of the most clutch players in NBA 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

2015 Steph Curry had arguably the most clutch performance in NBA history. The only player to score more 4th Quarter Finals points than Steph Curry was Shaquille O'Neal, and he didn't even score one point more than Curry while Curry scored 14% more efficiently than Shaquille

Curry was suffering from an MCL injury

Look at his 2015 Finals when he was on two healthy knees

Steph Curry 2015 Finals

26/5/6/2/ 59% TS




Perhaps the most critical segment of this series came at the end of the third quarter of Game 4, Cleveland cutting the Warriors lead to three. The Q was rocking. The Finals hung in the balance.

Curry calmly called for the ball, shook a defender and drained a three, pushing Golden State to a six-point lead. In a reversal of roles, a gassed LeBron tried to answer with a three of his own at the buzzer, only to miss badly. When James went to the bench to rest at the start of the fourth quarter, the Warriors seized control of the game and the Finals.

Curry finished with 22 that night. He then dropped 37, including 17 in the fourth quarter, in Game 5. On Tuesday, he dropped a couple of massive threes to help stem a fourth-quarter Cleveland surge, then when double-teamed, hit a wide-open Klay Thompson for another.


[quote]
Not only did Curry average an MVP-like 26 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals in 43 minutes per game, but as Kerr told his point guard, sometimes a point guard has to put his own game now in favor of managing the game for his teammates.
That is what Curry relayed when he said in the postgame press conference, "The Finals are not that different from normal NBA games. It's just the spotlight is different, and soar are the expectations. When you have an average game, you find out in the Finals that people were expecting more. But really, that stuff doesn't matter. It's all about winning. That's what I've learned. I just need to impact games, be myself every other night, do other things to help my team win and be OK with that. Manage the game from a point-guard standpoint, find a way to win and that's what we did

28.6%. So clutch.

[warriorfan]

28.6%. So clutch.

FG% isn't the best way to assess efficiency

TS% is the more accurate method of measurement

Curry's TS% in clutch situations in the 2016 post season was 74%

Keep in mind that it includes last second shots of the quarter and halftime, which are sometimes taken from half to full court, which naturally deflates the efficiency

Even though, Curry's 74% TS in clutch situations blew out anything LeBron has every put up

(For Reference LeBron's TS in the 2015 Finals was 48%)

LeBron supporters claim LeBron's 2015 Finals performance was great when he had a TS of 48%, while Curry was able to put up a TS of 68% during the 2016 regular season and a TS of 74% during clutch situations of the 2016 post season

Nope, True Shooting % it's not accurate method in displaying Curry's field goals in the clutch

Why?

Because True Shooting incorporates free throw attempts

And going by your graph, Curry only has 4 FTA with 4 FTM in clutch time

Too small of a sample size for TS formula

True Shooting % gets elevated by FT%

100% FT on only 4 free throw attempts will boost any players FG% by 50%

Simply a flawed method of displaying clutch time field goal accuracy

Easiest and best way is to look at a shot chart which I have linked

EDIT: And no, Clutch time stats don't incorporate half-court last second shots, that's why you use shot charts graphs to make a conclusion

[warriorfan]

FG% does not account for the point differential from 2's and 3's

When you use FG% you are literally comparing layups to 3 pointers...half court shots...etc etc

FG% also doesn't account for players getting fouled

These are the reasons why TS% is much more accurate

[scuzzy]

Lets compare other GSW players TS% in the 2016 Playoffs clutch time

Harrison Barnes: 70% TS
Ian Clark: 62% TS

:lol

ZVC is a choker. Just deal with it. He had a 73 win team and still couldn't hack it against LeBron and Kyrie.

You don't even know what True Shooting calculates :oldlol:

True Shooting

PTS = points scored,
FGA = field goal attempts,
FTA = free throw attempts

TS%= {PTS}{2(FGA+(0.44 x FTA)

Has nothing to do with differentiating 2's and 3's or players getting fouled :roll:

Player A

10/25 from the field, all points in the paint, no 3 pointers made
4/4 from FT line
24 points scored
40% FG


Player B

8/25 from the field, 3 layups, 5 3-point shots
4/4 from FT line
25 points scored
32% FG


Now let's calculate the TS%

Player A's TS% = .448

Player B's TS% = .467


Despite the lower Field Goal Percentage, Player B was able to score more points on the same amount of shots, thus making his performance more efficient


I hope you now understand how FG% fails to take into account 3 point shots which makes True Shooting% the more accurate measure for efficiency

[AintNoSunshine]

1. Lebron almost swept thru the first 3 rounds so he played less games.

2. 16 of the 27 blocks are in the NBA finals, goes to show how bad he anally aped the Warriors:oldlol:

Warriorfan is destroying ITT. He is irrefutable!

Ouch, both examples you posted are wrong again :biggums:

The True Shooting % for both equals

Player A = 48% TS

Player B = 46% TS

Calculate Player A yourself, simple math

TS%= {24}/{2(25+(0.44 x 4)

I can't dumb it down any further for you

Failed both the NBA IQ 101 and 3rd Grade Algebra

lmfao at these nerds

Just playin!

There were over 1,500 different city-states in Ancient Greece, but most of them didn't have a very big population.

[TommyGriffin]

Ouch. This is getting hard to watch. Scuzzy, cut your losses while you still can.

[bigkingsfan]

Cleveland
Cavaliers
93

Golden State
Warriors
89

[warriorfan]

Yikes, Warriorfan can't do math on his own and is using some fake TS% generator from a website he won't link. Ah yes, good ole home school education

Meanwhile anyone with a lick of elementary school can simply punch the numbers in on a calculator or write them out

I almost feel bad, his frustration is causing him to log in and on of multiple accounts (TommyGriffin) because his lap master Jabbar won't slurp his posts anymore

but what can I say

I win

:djparty



Player A:

24/2(25+(.44 x 4))

24/2(25+1.76)

24/2(26.76)

24/53.52 = .448



Player B:

25/2(25+(.44 x 4))

25/2(25+1.76)

25/2(26.76)

25/53.52 = .467


Sincerely,
The Irrefutable One

Jesus. I tried to warn Scuzzy too. He got completely eviscerated. He tried to dispute the Irrefutable One's grasp on basketball and failed. Then he embarrassed himself by bragging about how he can do algebra when obviously the only order of operations he knows is starting up a LeBron youtube and then *********ing vigorously. I have some family in Cleveland, their public education system sucks over there, they are all pretty stupid.
