JR apparently not aware there are television cameras at the NBA Finals that can see what these guys are saying at all times ("I thought we were ahead"). Also Lue already said what the truth was. |

KCC care to acknowledge that Kyrie has more 30 pt finals games than Pippen?
Ridiculous stat. Doesn’t quite fit your narrative. |

One ref called charge the other called block. After Lue was saying that never in NBA history has a block\charge call got over turned KD said it happened to him this year. The block call was the obvious right call. |

In 91, just a slight underdog against the Lakers, but in 93 most experts picked the Suns (League MVP Barkley, Kevin Johnson, Dan Majerle, etc.) to come away with the Title. Jordan and the Bulls took em down in 6, with John Paxon delivering the dagger to finish off the Suns in an epic Game 6. |

Why does that matter? There's way more to basketball than scoring and that's all Kyrie does. Pippen did a lot more out there and was clearly the far better player.

ohh..Kevin Love stepped on the court during the fight. That is supposed to be an automatic suspension

It’s not like he also played with Wade for several years who I’m sure also has more 30 pt finals games than Pippen. Lebron could afford to have off nights offensively or count on another guy to make up the difference, MJ never had that, and he also put forth more effort defensively than Lebron does at this point of his career. I’m not saying his teams were better or worse. I’m saying your narrative that there was this huge difference is horseshit. |

So the refs took 5 minutes to decide who fouled Durant? That would have taken them about 5 seconds. They were clearly reviewing if Lebron was in the restricted area and in the process decided to also review if Lebron was in legal guarding position. The refs can do that, but it's still incredibly controversial, especially given that if anything on a 50/50 call you'd think it would go to the team that had several missed calls prior.

Kyrie/Love and Wade/Bosh are better than any #2/3 scoring options Jordan ever had

Lebron was clearly moving. That one was not 50/50. |

This argument is getting tired, but as has already been pointed out in this thread neither Lebron’s teams nor Jordan’s 90’s Bulls teams win a single title w/o their respective alpha dogs.
As far as whose supporting cast was better: Jordan’s Bulls teams were definitely better than the current Cavs and the 2007 Cavs, and maybe equivalent to the Lebron/Kyrie led teams, but Lebron’s Heat squad that he put together was better than any team Jordan ever played on, talent wise. So enough with the excuses about Bron Bron’s supporting cast not being good enough to get it done. He’s 3-5 in the Finals now and should be at least 5-3. The Mavs loss was brutal (including Lebron’s performance in that series) and they should/could have beaten the Spurs. Jordan never laid an egg in the Finals. That’s all that needs to be said about that. |
