Agree, though wasn't so obvious in real time and cannot be reviewed.
Agree....nice comeback, but guessing a lot of guys could score 45 on 39 shots. Lebron got his 44 on 24 shots by comparison.,
Love has been a disappointment, but that doesn't mean he cannot play better in another series. They lost, but the guy outplayed Green in the Finals last year.
Yea, anyone who compares LBJ and Westbrick are way off. If LeBron shot 39 times, he'd have close to 60 points. He's crazy efficient, and Russell is crazy inefficient.
Hard to take you seriously since you ignore the blatant missed call on the prior possession that was reviewable and wasn't.
That's how I saw it....I think everyone thought it was a block live. And the play cannot be reviewed.
do you think if they called the goaltending and Indiana won, the refs would be suspended for the missed call on the previous possession where, if called correctly, the cavs kept the ball? And if they didn't, would you be crying about it like you are this noncall?
Why would that matter? Watch the replay, it doesn't matter which team/player you root for, that was a goaltend. I don't know what what would have happened if they actually made the right call but the goaltend isn't even debatable.
Dude I'm done arguing about this, I've already said I'm not even a Pacers fan, I'm a college basketball fan that likes IU, the fact that Oladipo was involved in the play was the only reason I looked at the replay. I could care less who won, I just want a fairly called game on both sides and you won't find that in the NBA playoffs.
Agree it was a goaltend, but watch it in real time......could you tell it was a goaltend then, which is how they had to call it.
OK, but why don't you care about the more egregious missed call on the previous possession...the one that could have been reviewed and wasn't?
Exactly. Despite Lebron being generally an average jump shooter/ ft shooter per league standards. He is generally one of the most efficient players year in and year out. Lebrons whole knock has always been closing in crunch time.
Westbrook wasn't crazy inefficient in that Wednesday game. Factoring his 5 3s, he still had a shooting efficiency percentage of well over .500. Lebron's performance was spectacular, but Westbrook's was pretty damn impressive as well.
Threes in the second half were his one bright spot, though. So far in this series.. he’s 10-25, 7-19, 5-17, 7-18, and 17-39 (39 shots for a point guard!?). He will never win a title playing the way he does. I’d rather have 3-4 point guards over him. Not even kidding.
which has always been unfounded, as he makes shots like he did Wednesday at a better rate than MJ.
Let's see it happen in the finals and not worry about the 1st round when it's expected from someone who is clearly superior to his opponent. You know it is Lebron , unless we need to lower the bar for him? Earlier in that 1st round series it looked like we might be seeing Lebron vs Dallas 2011 all over again. Him realizing he doesn't have the horses and essentially mailing it in. He is 33 and Cleveland isn't a trending up roster.
Re-responding to your post because I want to know if you still believe that the Pacers are doomed. Please get back to me with your answer before Game 7 so I can be sure that your answer isn't colored by that outcome.
It’s hard to get in a rhythm when your point guard shoots more than double anyone else.
He just had a bad game (and he also got robbed over not having the opportunity to take three free throws to tie up the game). Paul will look great with the Purple & Gold next year.
Definitely wasn’t a good fit. Not sure anyone can be w Russ, which sucks, cause I love his fire.
Yeah, I'm a Lakers fan and for a while Russ was rumored to be LA bound. Glad that that's now off the table. I'm not sure if he's innately unselfish. He seems to get lost in the moment and forget that delegating can have its moments. Truly a physical talent, though.
LeBron is on another level right now. He’s hitting step back 21 footers like he’s in his backyard
