jfc

terrible gamesing by cle

i'm kind of reeling from the lack of clock awareness in a must-win nba finals game

Yikes Durant just murdered Cleveland in cold blood

i come here to bury lebron, not to praise him

blergh

man fuck this

i don't think 15-0 should happen in any sport.

game 4's gonna be a dubs blowout

congrats to KD he will get his championship and the rest of us get boring basketball

hardly his fault

last question: sweep?

that was not boring basketball ftr

It is totes kd's fault tho

Hot take: basketball is bad now

Cavs in 7.

wow

o jesus

LeBron James was +7 in 46 minutes and his team lost by five. In a game of incredible stats, nothing touches that.

+7 in 46 minutes and his team lost by five.

Ouch!

lebron was legit incredible and the plus minus thing was real. him on the bench for that 150 seconds or whatever at the end of the first quarter to the beginning of the second was so noticeable

Prediction: Game 4 LeBron plays 48 minutes, more if there's OT.

btw the durant as lebron and steph as wade parallels are so real

when durant leaves the warriors he shd go to seattle

a lot will be said about the state of basketball and whatever after the warriors finish this rampage, but durant has been the best player in this series and his team is going to win. same as it always was.

on the other hand, klay thompson being your clear fourth best player should not be allowed

lebron has been the best player in the series

as he has been every year of this trilogy

i don't think so. they've been about equals on offense but durant's defense especially in the first two games has been way more impactful.

okaaaay

also Steph has been amazing. the gap between best players 1-3 has been small

i don't think it's really debatable that durant has been the better defensive player in this series. to say lebron's been the better all around would mean you have to argue that lebron's been a step ahead offensively, which isn't true either.

the narrative is strong

fellas, both teams played hard.

yeah incredible game not sure how that was boring to anyone

Lebro w the draymo impersonation

Let's talk about this interesting kick by Lebron.. 🤔🤔 pic.twitter.com/6mnjQOFaQd

they've both been incredible. what people always discount is turnovers. durant has had six in 3 games. lebron has had 17

those turnovers explain probably 20% of the difference in this series

game 3 definitely not boring but a likely 16-0 playoff run is unless you are a dubs fan imo

durant also had like 25 uncontested dunks

i don't fault lebron for the turnovers, clearly his burden is greater than durant's

i just think durant is in the top 0.5 percentile of affecting the game on both ends in this series

you can argyle they're a necessary part of his game but i think his ceiling his lowered by that. like those 17 possessions mattered

i don't think it's a necessary part of his game just that vs this team he has to try and make plays. he's in an unenviable situation.

to me, the most dominant basketball games i've ever seen played by one player is lebron in the final two games of last year's finals. durant is not at that level this year, but he's gotten close when you take into account his length on defense and his ease of scoring on offense, and it's been more than enough in this particular series.

i am not sure we are disagreeing, durant has clearly been the best

i'm arguing w/ you and lagoon at the same time

game 3 definitely not boring but a likely 16-0 playoff run is unless you are a dubs fan imo

yeah, I hear you but these type of teams never last as long as people think they will, the league adjusts, teams adjust, players leave, players get injured, etc. last year I was saying to people I talk to irl that I wanted a competitive series but that bit me. I want a sweep after hearing/seeing 3-1 jokes for 12 months straight.

wow

Anyone else see Stephen Curry take a dump on he Cavs floor after Kevin Durant made that 3? 😂😂😂😂#DubNation #CavsNation #NBAFinals pic.twitter.com/Uvo08aQNqY
