last 4 mins Durant 12 pts

Lebron 4

results.

korver has been trash all series long.

He played an AMAZING game up until the closing minutes. He's been the best player in the playoffs but God... there's literally not a single ounce of clutch or killer instinct mentality in his body.
I can understand deferring to Kyrie cause he's a great closer and had a great game. But really? Dishing it to Korver for what is essentially the key shot in the game and also dishing it to JR to lay bricks just doesn't add up. Yeah Korver and JR hit a few in the second half, but they also missed a handful of good lucks and JR was beginning to chuck some random shots.

You are never going to be able to outscore these guys in a million years. I wonder if some team just needs to Moneyball it and go the other way and be extremely physical on offense.

If you could put a decent team around someone like Anthony Davis, you could probably compete at least. You just need a large athletic freak that the Warriors don't have the personnel to defend. Or you need a team who can slow the game down effectively. Something to try and make these guys play defense and wear them down a bit. Even that's not a guarantee. But what the Cavs are doing right now just isn't going to work.

spurs are a team that can match up with them

This. I heard Chris Paul is gonna give the Spurs serious consideration during free agency

Nobody did the NBA Playoffs better than NBC.

Watched most of this expecting something great. Realize the moment but did not deliver.

Wouldn't say there isn't an ounce of killer instinct. He just doesn't close games the way MJ does. I've always said it's easily the one thing that separates him and MJ. He's still a solid enough closer. Just not even close to the same level as the GOAT.

Both of you are wrong. LeBron didn't have an easy lane to the basket because Durant came down to help and korver also didn't have an easy shot because Curry stepped out and contested it.

But since both plays are low percentage, LeBron should have kept it. There's a higher % of him making it or at least drawing a foul than korver making a contested 3. Especially given how he has been shooting.

Tristan Thompson gets a lot of money to be bad at his role

So, I had a look at the average minutes per game in a finals. Jordan averaged 46.3 minutes per game in the 1993 Finals, while Pippen averaged 46 minutes and Charles Barkley averaged 46.4 minutes in that same series.

And none of them sat out regular season games just to rest for the playoffs.
