I love Dirk.

I lived in Dallas and enjoyed my year there.

He's legit.

WE AREN'T TALKING ABOUT POINTS.

Ok fine. Tell me.

How many shots has Kobe averaged per game in these Finals compared to LeBron?

GO GO GO GO GO GO

****ing idiot

So wait, you're okay with the "Greatest player since Michael Jordan" not taking a lot of shots in some of the biggest games of his career?

No wonder you like playoff chokers. I'd take a superstar who shoots 500 times any day over one that shoots 250 and tries to make it up with assist and rebounds.

depends what you call Clutch! In some of these games they were finals clinchers!

There is also a few more. these were just in wins though. Im sure there are some in losses as well.

Agreed, that's one of many reasons why I picked the Spurs. Their home advantage is stronger.

But you have to think Miami is going to give everything they have over the next two games. We've seen how difficult that kind of effort is to handle on the road, let alone in a home environment with the calls, the crowd, and role players performing better. They have a good shot here.

[Hootie]

that's because you're dumb

didn't you just read Connection's stat?

LeBron already has more playoff win shares than Kobe. That's embarrassing. How many less games has LeBron played in the playoffs than Kobe?

Just because you score a lot of points because you take a lot of stupid ****ing shots doesn't mean you are helping your team.

You are ****ing dumb.

Dumb.

Just a ****ing dumb human being.

Not sure what you're making reference to at all, but again, LeBron is one of the best playoff performers of all time. In the last 50 years, in fact, only one player has contributed more on average in postseason games than him. The guy does literally everything for his teams.

Holy shit.

Stop it. I'm not going to call LeBron a choker. But to use this series as justification that he's on pace to be Jordan. Stop it.

LeBron played an absolutely shitty fourth quarter in two of the losses, and a poor game in general in the third loss. He was absolutely dominant in the playoffs, but he has NOT played well consistently this Finals.

I'll be interested to see who the oddsmakers have as the favorite in this series now. Should probably be close.

Yawn. In 16 less Finals games, LeBron has 2 more games with less than 20 points.

That's even more embarrassing. The best player since Michael Jordan can't even score 20 in the biggest games of his career?

I like Dirk too but a shit load of Dallas fans think he is one of the GOATs.

Lebron is great. Ill never say he isnt. Dude can ball. he just doesnt have that killer instinct. Its just not him and thats the only thing imo that holds him back! he shoudl just totally dominate on the post all the ****ing time.

For some reason, he doesnt

[tredadda]

Although I though SA would win this series before it started, now I am not so sure. This series has been going back and forth through 5 games. If that holds true Miami should win game 6. Something deep down in me says no way Miami loses game 7 at home although I hope I am wrong.

Being Jordan?

Said nothing of the sort. I was referring to his overall postseason statistical contributions (http://www.basketball-reference.com/..._career_p.html). Stop trolling/hating for the sake of it.

This. He's the most talented player to ever step on the hardwood. But during the biggest games of his career, he's an average player.

I agree. I think the Spurs best chance is in Game 6. I don't like their odds in a Game 7 in Miami.

You said he was on pace to be Jordan. And that he was having by far the best series of any player.

For the Superstar he is, he's not playing close to the level he should. He's been stellar in the playoffs. This has NOT been a good Finals. I care less about his scoring as much as I care about how invisible he's been in the 4th quarter of games this series.
