Bron lost this game
I don’t wanna hear shit about JR or no one Missing shots
Bron needs to guard KD and he was running away from him all game
Bron ain’t the GOAT and never will be. No GOAT would ever force it to Tristian Thompson right there
Fucking choker
That 4th to me is as bad as his whole Dallas series dude just ain’t have it
Listen you know I'm not a LBJ apologist by any means..
Yes, he did get outplayed by Kevin Durant in game 3 to go down 0-3 for the 2nd straight year. That is true. He needed to be better.
BUT.....all that does is maybe gives a game or two at most. The Warriors outclassed us talent wise and showed us why these last two games. The Cavs I think played harder and better than I think anyone even expected us to and we should have won game 1 for sure and that changed the entire complexion of the teams outlook on the series...
so yes, LBJ had a disappointing game 3 and now the series is essentially over.
But that's about the worst thing you can say about him this series. He's been magnificent otherwise and doesn't really deserve too much criticism for tonight. He at least tried. I think we finally saw LeBron take one or two "dings and bruises" too many and it started affecting him maybe 5-10% more than usual when he turned that ankle which was the 2nd time hes turned an ankle this series.
The Cavs needed a crazy unexpected win OR massive Warriors injuries to have a chance.. Game 1 was stolen by the refs. Game 2 was too much Warriors shooting. Tonight? Bad refs and Durant outplayed LeBron. Can't have any game where LBJ isn't the best player on the floor.
But I dont BLAME LBJ. You can only ask so much of him.
Refs stealing game 1 really helped Warriors in games 2 and 3 immensely, IMO. Went from feeling literally all the pressure and weight of expectations, being down 0-1, etc....to up 1-0 comfortably after surviving a 51 point LBJ game where they should have lost the game like 6 different times. The entire series should be void hover that shit. Woulda rather gotten blown out in game 1, woulda maybe stole 2 or 3 instead.
