And running away from that guy in a critical possession.

Doesn’t matter MJ won more games even though he played on teams significantly more talented /MJ deep throaters

That’s not the point I’m trying to make here. I’m simply pointing out that game 3 doesn’t fit the narrative, therefor it’s not an excuse:

Eh if dickheads like Wright and KCC weren't pushing that stupid narrative we'd all agree that supporting cast was trash.

Welp...game would probably been better if LeBron didn't quit in the 2nd half.

LeBron had a great series. You can't really go in on him too hard. He put forth a herculean effort this postseason to drag this team to the Finals. An all-time effort really among the greatest this game has ever seen.

Now, on the other hand, he probably had way too much influence on the roster construction of this team, so it's kind of a double edged sword. People act sorry for him but he's not completely absolved from blame regarding the group of guys he's playing with.

And in the only story that really matters tonight, the Lakers are rising...

Lakers are pretty close to a lock for LeBron.

So why would he go to LA and further taint his legacy? Furthermore why would a 31-32 year old want to play with a bunch of kids? He doesn't even need to go to a huge market he markets himself the money comes wherever he goes.

Was he in the process of being swept in any of those series?

Did he pass up guarding the best player in a crucial moment in any of those series?

Did he lose any of those series?

I don’t see what any of this has to do with what I said. Great rebuttal though you ****ing moron.

I hope they've got a plan to bring in more than just Paul George there with him because that isn't going to accomplish much of anything.

I'd love to see them keep the current cast maybe even get Love. Stay the course a few years continue to develope.
