He sure caught a lot of heat for it, if so, while casually passing Hero ball Jordan in points and game winners


:rockon:

[pegasus]

Was he doubled last year at the end of regulation in game 1, or was it just Curry on him and Lebron got into a stance to pass the ball only instead of choosing to be a triple threat (shoot, drive, pass)?

I have no issue with the pass, my only complaint is that he made NO intent at all to drive or shoot, just stood there with the ball above his head.

Again, I still think it was a good play, but his deference and passiveness at the end of games is one of his biggest flaws

That's precisely my point. He should have kept all options open, while him taking a shot over Curry or driving to the weak side being the first two options. If the play developed organically, and he had to pass just like Leonard did, then that's the right play and you live with the results.

Pretty sure Skip criticized Kawhi the same way he did Lebron if that's what you're referring to, didn't see anyone else hate on Lebron at the time, media went IN on JR smith for rebounding the ball and preventing Warriors from winning in regulation, no one batted an eye that Lebron disappeared in OT.

So Lebron didn't disappear in OT by only scoring 2 points on FTs when it was out of reach with no shot attempts until 2 minutes in? We all saw him pout on the bench after the 4th, he QUIT on his team.

Yeah it was a very visible quit after he shrunk at the end of the 4th.

[3ball]

Jordan never gets knocked because his teammates never missed game-winners when MJ passed on the last possession

So MJ always made the RIGHT play (since his teammates always hit) and his fearlessness was rubbing off (since his teammates always hit)

[baudkarma]

Part of the reason is that Kawhi fans aren't trying to claim that their man is already better than MJ. Hence fans of other players don't overreact in an attempt to protect their own heroes.

[tpols]

Lets examine how defenses played Kawhi, Jordan (on his most famous gamewinner), and Lebron from last years only close game.


MJ

https://media.giphy.com/media/cJ5g6sXWd37E3Xie6r/giphy.gif


So MJ starts from the left side with a live dribble, and slashes right. Karl Malone shades down into the paint for help as he goes, but there is clearly no double at all. Nothing. And Jordans main defender Byron russell is not even close to being an all defensive player...never made a team his whole career.


Kawhi

https://media.giphy.com/media/WQsJoxhcB1LCHZXVB8/giphy.gif

Makes his move right, just like MJ, except watch iguodala... he blitzes him the second hes about to take a step inside the 3pt line. Unlike karl malone, who was in the same position but sagged 10-15 feet off. (no double)

Watch when van fleet catches the ball how hard a much taller livingston closes out on him and forces him to put the ball on the floor, where iggy is already rotating back to trap him.

Showtime said lowry shouldve been ready for a midrange jumper instead of a 3 but if a far away dray could close the distance on a shot further away, what the hell makes you think he wouldnt be able to get it if lowry was closer to him? LOL


and finally Lebron...

https://media.giphy.com/media/f9eJydIe9qVbglJzuZ/giphy.gif

mismatch on curry at top of the key. To be fair, dray and durant are waiting on both sides, but he has the pull up if he wants it. You can tell by his body language hes only looking to pass here. Literally holding the ball in a QB stance.



Conclusion: Kawhi had by far the toughest defense played on him. Two all NBA defenders, far out double team, perfect rotations.

yea and they arent coming forward, just preventing a drive on curry.

In contrast to kawhi... who was blitzed. Leonard wouldve drilled a 22 footer on steph in that situation, but they have to play him differently, with more aggressive attention.

Only MJ dealt with a legit defender's forearm grinding into his hip - Kawhi enjoyed complete separation from Klay and freedom of movement.. Lebron had a midget on him

Only MJ got a shot off and a good one

Btw, Karl does the same thing to help on MJ that Kawhi got... Neither was a "double-team"

Also, I post NBA.com stats, not my opinion... And the stats show that 80% of curry's threes are open and he shoots poorly on contested shots

The stats also show that Curry impacts his team's ORtg less than Kobe, Durant and Lebron

The stats also show that teammates see their assists crater alongside Lebron (less playmaking), while their assisted rate increases (play-finishing) - so lebron turns teammates to play-finishers (spot-up shooters)... With teammates getting less assists, the TEAM ranks low in assists and struggles on the championship level, 3/9.. see, you just got whipped again

[Showtime80']

LOL Tpols if Kawhi had half of Jordan's ball handling, passing ability, decision making acumen and diverse scoring he would've had the confidence to INITIATE the offense at the 15 second mark instead of giving the ball to a career scrub like Van Fleet, who took 7 FULL SECONDS without any defensive pressure on him to finally give the ball to him, haha. UNREAL!!! That's not zone defense, that's lack of skills and stupidity.

Here's MJ going 94 feet (on 3 of the plays) with the ball in his hands in the last seconds to decide what the team does on the last play:

1991- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyQqDJC_k5k

1993- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnAr4I3-Z48

1997- https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=1997+NBA+finals+game+6+final+ shot&sp=mAEB

1998- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-d_6LiQyKY

People forget MJ was a GREAT PASSER unlike Kawhi, that also made him difficult to double team specially when he had guys who moved without the ball and weren't scared sh!tless of taking big shots!

The Raptors last play was PATHETIC and demonstrated a lot of the limitation Kawhi has as a player and the Raptors as a TEAM!

[tpols]

Showtime mj didn't initiate that final 98 possession (his most famous shot)...

He was passed the ball on that wing and ran the clock down just like kawhi did w/ a couple dribbles and attacked..

Karl didnt help on the jumper.. Iggy did. Bottom line.

That was honestly some weak ass defense from the jazz. Who was Malone guarding that couldnt afford him a full double instead of a sag? Ironically his man was behind the 3 pt line. :roll:

Was it against the rules? How the **** you dont double Michael Jordan on a game winning midrange shot? What a joke lmao

[Showtime80']

Oh my God Tpols, in 1998 Jordan stole the ball from Malone and took it from one end to the other, nobody assisted him on that play!

The Jazz could've doubled as they did in game 6 in 1997 and what happened? Jordan passed it to Kerr for the game winner! If they had doubled on that play you had Kerr, Pippen and Kukoc for open jumpers, all of them had made big shots before unlike the Raptor scared straight buffoons (which the Warriors were well aware off LOL).

Jordan would've NEVER let a scrub like Van Fleet take that ball to initiate the offense with 15 seconds on the clock ON THE TITLE DECIDING PLAY (plenty of time to get a decent shot off).

Kawhi is neither the creative playmaker, decision maker, athlete or scorer that MJ is thus making him easier to defend but he should've taken that ball from the 15 second mark onward and put the fate of the game in his hands, not let a forgettable role player waste 7 seconds off the shot clock.

That's just bad offense by the Raptors and Kawhi.

Ok... Youre right on the initiation but again...

Why didnt Karl Malone double jordan? From the video it looks like his man was Scottie Pippen, who was standing behind the 3pt line.

Ironically, ALL the bulls were standing behind the 3pt line ...standing still. Except Rodman who ran across the court to near the 3pt line on the left side.

Where's all the midrange movement you speak of?

WHY didn't Karl Malone double when his man was an awful shooter standing still 25 feet from the hoop?

Please tell us...

Because kawhi got hard doubled. Apples and oranges defense.

They literally hard doubled Jordan in the previous year's game 6 and watched him set up the championship clincher. They got burned and decided they'd rather have Russell defend an exhausted Jordan 1 on 1 (Jordan had barely rested in that 4th quarter and was taken out of his usual rest, early in the 4th, because he had to carry a depleted Bulls team). His jump shots were coming up short and he was hitting front rim in those last few minutes. He looked absolutely exhausted and Jackson took a 20 second timeout just to give him a breather before the free throws he took with 50 seconds left.

This isnt even something I should have to tell you. As superduper said, its obvious some people here dont even watch games. They Google box scores and then waste our time attempting to discuss a game they never watched. Come on now.

[Showtime80']

Teams used to LIVE with Michael Jordan talking mid range jumpers, they were ALWAYS scared to death of his drives to the paint, that's why you see all the other four defenders ignoring the people that are at the 3 point line for the Bulls and having one foot outside the paint ready for a Jordan drive.

If you notice even with that defensive setup look at the Bulls beautiful spacing from one another on that final play, all five players are perfectly spread out to avoid crowding.

By the same token look at the Raptors two FRIGGIN SCARED IDIOTS in Laure and Gasol basically standing RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER in the paint for the entire play allowing Draymond to defend 2 PLAYERS AT ONCE!!!! WHY THE FARK IS GASOL IN THE PAINT AND LAURIE RIGHT NEXT TO HIM!!! It looks like they are hiding from the play!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

JESUS CHRIST!!!! Just because of that level of idiocy I want the Warriors to TROUNCE this dumb asses tonight and in game 7!!!!

Modern NBA I tell you.

:roll:


Wait a second...

Your chief complaint before was that modern nba has all guys just standing around behind the 3pt line, with little off ball movement, just waiting for a pass.

And that is EXACTLY what the bulls setup was in 98. Exactly. Now you say the spacing for that is beautiful?

:wtf:

I thought it was dumb downed?

And I'm sorry...you don't "live" with jordan taking a midrange game winner...literally the greatest midrange shooter ever for Christ's sake get a grip. Karl's man wasn't paxson or Kerr. It was SCOTTIE PIPPEN a guy who shot like 30% in those playoffs and jumper was broker than his current bank account.

There's no excuse...the jazz ****ed up on defense there.

Kawhi had it tougher.

[Showtime80']

Again my complaint with the current NBA is that the 5 out concept is basically ALL THEY DO!!!

The Bulls had it as part of a vast arsenal in what the triangle offense offered which could be operated from the high post or low post and also allowed isolation plays for guys like Pippen, Kukoc and Jordan as well as mid range and 3 point shooting for guys like Kerr, Longley, Harper and the other role players. That's called VARIETY tpols and they went with one those variables on the final play to decide the title knowing that the Jazz were caught in the dilemma of doubling or not thanks to Kerr's shot the year before.

Kawhi makes it tougher on HIMSELF by not being a playmaker or quick decision maker like MJ and lacking the confidence in his game to let a scrub like Van Fleet dictate what the TITLE DECIDING PLAY is going to be combined with the two dummies in Laurie and Gasol hugging each other in the paint allowing Draymond to cancel them out on the play. PATHETIC!!!

[tpols]

Nah the only team that spams 5 spread is Houston.

Watch these games there's a ton of off ball action and passing. Huge team assist totals.

The fred van vleet stuff is such a non point youre harping on. He passed it to kawhi and ran to the same spot Jordan's teammates were standing for him.

What difference would it make if kawhi held the ball for the 7 seconds van fleet had it and then attacked as opposed to catching it and going quick strike from the top? The double was coming either way and the end attack was exactly the same for both players. Total non point mate...

He's a better player than Lebron, as is Kawhi. Deal with it.


LBJ > Kawhi > MJ

Wait a second...

Your chief complaint before was that modern nba has all guys just standing around behind the 3pt line, with little off ball movement, just waiting for a pass.

And that is EXACTLY what the bulls setup was in 98. Exactly. Now you say the spacing for that is beautiful?

:wtf:

I thought it was dumb downed?

And I'm sorry...you don't "live" with jordan taking a midrange game winner...literally the greatest midrange shooter ever for Christ's sake get a grip. Karl's man wasn't paxson or Kerr. It was SCOTTIE PIPPEN a guy who shot like 30% in those playoffs and jumper was broker than his current bank account.

There's no excuse...the jazz ****ed up on defense there.

Kawhi had it tougher.
Kawhi should've pulled up for a jumper just like MJ did - infact, he should've used the exact same move that MJ did

There was no one touching him either, so he had an easier pull-up opportunity than MJ - but only MJ knew how to set his man up perfectly to get the separation - only mj

The guy you responded isnt aware that Jordan stole the ball from malone. He's literally not watched any of the games that you're talking about. Save your breath.
