    Default Who scored 31 pts on 99% TS in the closeout game to carry the Cavs to the 07' Finals?

    "carry" is the key word

    Does anyone know who did this?

    And when did Pippen carry anyone

    Who scored 27 straight points in game 5 that series?

    Pippen won 55 games without Jordan.

    Pippen carried the Chicago Bulls.


    LeBron is the definition of "making your teammates better". Allowing other teammates to shine and score while he facilitates. Hence a better basketball player than Jordan.

    But Gibson saved him in the closeout, just like Ray Allen and Kyrie - so it's a trend - his biggest accomplishments are actually teammate bailouts

    Beat me to it. LeBron 25 straight and 28 of last 29 points to get it to a close out game. LeBron broke them in game five and Cavs had a blowout in game six. Wonder if LeBron going nuclear might have had the Pistons a little preoccupied opening up some chances for someone else.

    I think you need to rewatch that game.

    Gibson got hot but Lebron was everywhere. He assisted on 3 of the 4 threes in the fourth. And he was spectacular on the defensive end.

    Got to the line 19 times as well.

    After game 5 the Pistons were determined to make someone else hit some shots. Fortunately Gibson did this time.

    Game 6 was tied at halftime and the Cavs were up 1 heading into the 4th.

    That's when Boobie went MJ and took over in the 4th to carry Lebron to the Finals

    He doesn't need to rewatch (more likely watch for the first time) the game. In 3ball land cherry picked stats have all meaning and trite anachronism like understanding what actually happened on the floor mean nothing.

    3ball doesn't understand basketball beyond Carmelo Anthony ball.

    It wasn’t needed though. They’d already won all of their home games in the series and were leading before Gibson got hot. Plus the defense, led by Lebron, held the Pistons to 15 in the 4th. So even if Gibson doesn’t get hot they would still have won.

    No bailout

    Just a guy getting hot. Nothing to see.

    Bulls down 0-2 vs Knicks in 93 game 3: Pippen: 10/12 29 points, Jordan: 3/18 22 points. Looks like he carried the load to me.

    He got bailed out by Rodman in game 6 of the 96 finals
