Seriously? Do you understand the complexity of the motion they run?
Yes. What I find exciting about the NBA is players like Russell Westbrook and Lance Stephenson, essentially the antithesis of the Spurs. To each their own.

You missed a great team (that I hated) that moved the ball with a precision that is not often seen. They were a great team, and one of the teams along with the old Celts, the '80's Celts and the Walton's s Trailblazers that played the game beautifully.jon abbey said:
Before my time.
Again, big congrats to the Spurs and their fans, I was sure Duncan's title days were done but somehow those guys hung around while Buford managed to put Leonard and Green and fucking Boris Diaw around him. Fantastic team, well-deserved title.

Well, 22 year old Kawhi Leonard is going to get the MVP. His insane burst starting in game 3 was what overwhelmed Miami in the end.

I am far from a Miami fan and am thrilled that they are going to lose, but this statement is 100% true. I just don't get the Lebron hate. He has done everything humanly possible this series, except for the end of game one if you want to count that. It just proves that one person can't carry a whole team.

no, I think that was a person doing a backwards walk.Dan to Theo to Ben said:Was that camera on Lebron going to the locker room on some kind of dolly? if not, pretty impressive backwards walk.

Awesome thanks.ifmanis5 said:Steadicam.
Like 2010, Lebron just doesn't want to try and win a championship himself. I think Spoelstra decided not to even ask Lebron to try, so he sat him the last several minutes (even though there was a small chance of a comeback)jon abbey said:

He meant to say heat and humidity, San Antonio is brutal this time of year.ifmanis5 said:Heat? Humility? Are you fucking serious JVG???
He's up there. I'd say top 10 all time nba floppers and its really egregious. I love his energy and spirit but he has always been a professional flopperCaptainLaddie said:I really do. Manu's so fucking great. He's so enjoyable to watch. I have never got the hate.
Sure. But his flopping is balanced out in my mind by the fact that his athleticism is fucking wild. I love his creativity. He's a joy to watch on the court, even with his flopping.ElUno20 said:He's up there. I'd say top 10 all time nba floppers and its really egregious.

More like last 6 minutes? I firmly believe that Lebron has made a rule to himself: if my teammates can't contribute, I am not going to do it myself. So I can't blame him at all for not insisting on going back in.Brickowski said:IMHO LeBron sitting out the last three minutes was extraordinary. He was like a dog that rolls over on its belly and concedes. Can you imagine MJ not being in there, or Bird or Russell?

He played 42 minutes carrying the team offensively while chasing around the other teams PG essentially shutting him down. I'd say he was pretty tired and knew he had no help from his teammates to come back from 18 down.rembrat said:Is James tired or disinterested? He's not getting back on either side of the ball.

@RealSkipBayless
LeBron James is 2-3 in Finals. Dallas meltdown. Saved by Ray in Game 6. Faded in Games 3/4/5 this year. Not exactly Jordanesque.

I'm also wondering how LBJ breaks it to Bosh and Wade that he wants new teammates.
The Celtic's starters left the court as the Piston eliminated them. The Pistons took huge shit for doing this to the Bull three years later.E5 Yaz said:
Down 1-3 and 20 points? Yes
BigSoxFan said:I love how people are holding his 2007 season against him when, as a 22 year-old, with nearly-cooked Ilgauskas as his best teammate, LeBron basically ended the Pistons' run. The Dallas criticisms are fair but LeBron has been amazing the last 3 years. And there was no Ray Allen shot if LeBron doesn't drill the 3 before it.
