like any prudent evaluator skip will likely take a wait and see approach, of course you can't hate on labron's game 6

i mean loliggy boston has a great chance to win if the heat (outside labron ofc) play like they did today offensively. defensively their rotations were great, battier especially seemed very active altho he had some lolflops. but wade was horrible again, bosh airballed like a wide open 8 footer. as a team they were 18-50 from the field if you ignore lebrons FGA.

how far can lebron carry this team? theyre definitely not beating okc if wade doesnt play better/they dont get better performances from role players. especially if this is what theyre gonna get from bosh.

not yesterday you wasn't

Keep it classy, Boston fans btw lol

i'm shocked that wade didn't start crying for his mother right there and then, kinda sickens me that such a weak willed person exists on this planet. humanity is ****ed

i'm absolutely mesmerised by that gif for some reason, just checking every single person's face for a reaction. i wish it was a second or two longer.

I agree that the haters will not care and keep going on hating. However, the critics is who we're talking about here, which is different. There are many (myself included) that believe that Lebron just doesn't have that clutch gift that many of the greats before him have had. He tends to choke in clutch situations (not entire games but the last seconds of games). If he's able to make a few really big shots in key, final play, situations, in a final, I think that will silence most of the critics.

the ball thrown in dwyane looked like a genuine mistake from just a fat biz dude w/ no athletic skills and a limp wrist. no beef there, was actually pretty funny. and the crowd seemed like they were more shocked then pumped that he got hit for whatever reason. it like barely grazed his head.

I haven't read most of responses on last nights game but I would hazard to guess there are many that are counting the C's out. My feelings are this:

1.) The C's have shown time and time again that they show up for these big games. They play the absolute best when they have to.

2.) Lebron is not going to shoot as well as he did last night.

3.) Pierce and Garnett are not going to shoot as poorly as they did last night.

4.) Rondo is not going to make as many mistakes as he did last night.

I like the C's in game seven (of course, I'm a celtics fan so no surprise there).

I agree. I don't think it was intentional.

However, even it was, who cares really? People need to chill out. It's funny as hell if it was intentional.

Game 6 set another ratings record at 8.2

Stephen a smith: "playing a whole game and getting 30/10 is standard and what we expect from lebron. who cares what he can do in a whole game were looking for the last minute. he's still not a closer"

Skip nods head furiously.

Nice that's nice

How would this rate against that yankeesdouchefan.gif

someone post it plz thx

yankeefan.gif is the wire and celticfan.gif isn't even true blood

Not really. Yes he had a horrible Finals last year but the guy has hit all kinds of clutch shots and come through down the stretch in every way multiple times in the playoffs with Cleveland and even in his short time in Miami.

I'll be honest, I haven't watched every playoff game he's played but he's had a chance to win two games in this series and has failed to do so and I think there was a stat they gave last night that talked about his terrible shooting in game winning situations.

He certainly doesn't have the clutch resume that folks like Jordan, Bird and Magic have.

he failed to win one because he hit the game tying 3pointer a few seconds earlier, what a chocker

So, now game tying = Game winning? Huh?

Goodie itt

are you like senile too goody? that would explain alot

is that your way of admiting defeat?

Maybe not exactly but it's a lot closer than you think.

If you take the first 7 playoff seasons of each guy Lebron compares quite favorably in the # of clutch playoff performances / moments.

lolboston and all but the 4.75-1 for boston does seem like pretty good value. game 4 was not the kind of game that made me think miami is just a far superior team who can switch it on. celts missed everything, got no oboards for most of the game, and had some dumb turnovers. while heat ran pretty nice on jumpers and just generally had their **** together

think boston are more like 25-30% to win g7 than the 21% those odds imply. altho that said they've been running hot all series so my perception of what's reasonable for them in the four factors is prob skewed. reg season numbers certainly would've predicted more game6 type games from boston in this series

So if he does manage to make a few of these big, high variance shots, what will you conclude? That he finally learned how to be clutch? Or that you have been a moron the whole time?

Sick strategy say that he can't win until he does win at which point he can win. Good stuff

Finally learned how to be clutch. Obviously.

It's not for lack of opportunity. Listen, the guy is an amazing player but the non-clutch stigma he's carried hasn't come out of no where. It's not like I'm the only one that thinks this. It's a pretty common belief.

No f'ing way the Celtics are 21% to win this game. No way. They literally JUST beat this team on their court THREE f'ing days ago in an game that was almost as important. That's just insanity.
