Cavs v Warriors

What? It makes sense that the best scorer on the team steps up easier when he has better players around him. If anything that helps James' case :?.

These figures are also for a playoff series, not finals.

it makes more sense that the best scorer scores more points when his key points contributing team mates go down injured or if he doesnt have any. it's called picking up the slack. a bit like harvey grant averaging 25+ a game for the bullets/wizards or mozgov scoring 20 in game 4, there's still approx 100 points to share everygame no matter what

What exactly are you arguing? Please don't seriously tell me that you're saying that LeBron hasn't 'picked up the slack' in this series :lol:.

you obviously can't read, i've already posted it

yeah i don't think even jordan himself would have been able to do much with his team say without pippen and kukoc, of course he never had to so it's open to debate. so you can't criticise him too harshly.

but what you can say is that lebron HAS an opportunity right now to bring himself to that echolon if not higher by taking this side by the scruff of the neck for the next 2 games and unloading 55-60+

is he good enough to do it? wouldn't write it off completely

Alright, I'm done. Asking him to score more given what he is already doing, that'll do me :lol:. You're too obsessed with points. If that's all that matters why doesn't he just chill under the basket while his teammates defend and wait for outlet passes....

Enjoy the game guys. I expect the Cavs to hang with the Warriors for about 3 quarters before they gas out.

You don't get it because you're too focussed on being defensive about everyone trolling your hero. I'm not a lebron hater, it's clear he's the leagues best player this season. I'm stating that IF he wants his legacy to go further (that debate you clearly don't want to get involved with because you know you can't put one up) he should produce more

Oh come on man, how much more can the guy do, he is almost averaging a 40 point triple double for the series while every single play is running through him, expecting him to do more is just unrealistic, especially considering this is his 5th straight finals series. The guy is human at the end of the day and fatigue is gonna set in, which you can see with the whole Caves team when it gets to the last 5mins of the game.

Honestly, I am no Lebron fan and have never defended him but I think its ridiculous that people cant give him credit for this, I don't know any other player this year that would win 2 games, lose another in OT and still be in the series with his two best team mates out for it (besides Kyrie in game 1). Saying he should score 55-60 just shows that what he is doing is expected of him cause he is that good but if most other players put up these numbers everyone would be losing their minds.

But anyways, onto game 6, I think the Cavs are going to come out and give it their all, it would not surprise me at all if they win this one and force a game 7 which would make this Warriors squad very nervous but if its close heading into the 4th, then Warriors should have too much in the tank and get home.

Anyone asking more of him frankly has no idea, it's completely geniused and really shows a fundamental lack of understanding of what he has been doing.

Sports scientists have described his workload this series as unfathomable, but what to do they know.

You mean would a Michael Jordon or a Kobe Bryant in their prime be able to take this Cav team to the promise land against GSW?

hell YES.

Michael would take this Cavs team and sweep the Warriors while putting up 60 pg. It's obvious.

LeBron has to score 20 in the last quarter. He needs to ball hog and do his best.

His team mates are role players at best.
