Kyrie is really good at one thing in basketball...scoring. Mediocre at everything else. Pippen was not as good a scorer as Kyrie (although certainly quite good at it) and far better at EVERYTHING else. They aren't close as players. |

Somebody needs to send these refs to Vegas, because I don't think they have any clue what a strip is supposed to look like. A brutally brutally badly officiated 4th quarter, even with the controversial blocking/charge aside.

Wait, what happened at the end of regulation? I missed this Warrior gifted abortion of a game.

Scoring is #1 though and you’re only dismissing it because it doesn’t fit your narrative. And what about Wade? Much better offensively and a solid defender. Again, I’m not saying one is better than the other. I’m saying you need to stop acting like having a #2 like Wade/Kyrie and a #3 like Bosh/Love is some ****ing crutch and there’s a huge difference in the supporting casts. It’s dishonest and goes to show how ridiculously biased you are. You’re trying to punish MJ for winning by harping on “team accomplishment” and using it against him by making the team surrounding him better than it really was. |

Yes, offensively, Lebron played fairly well in the 2014 series. But his defense against the Spurs left something to be desired. Leonard shot 68% to win Finals MVP, including shooting 65% for the series when being guarded by Lebron.

Really? You're going to rely on a guy who clearly doesn't like Lebron?
Here's what happened with less than 2 minutes left. And either side will agree that this is an accurate story. Lebron got called for a bullshit foul on a legit Durant strip. Turnover turned into a Golden State 3 point play Durant got called for a charge the play after. Refs reviewed if he was in the restricted area. Reverse the charge and Durant scores 2 (but the call was actually correct). Cavs end up charging back. Have a chance to win it. George Hill misses a 2nd go-ahead free throw. JR Smith stupidly doesn't realize the game is tied and runs out the clock. Durant gets another botched strip call in OT. GS goes up and Cavs completely fold. The Cavs had 2 opportunities to close and completely ****ed it up Lebron didn't close in OT. But that doesn't excuse that the refs were an absolute abortion in the 4th quarter on literally the same exact missed stripped ball call on the same exact player 3 times in a 5 minute 4Q/OT stretch. |

Don't have to reach
Lebron should have won in 2011, but you're naive if you think dumping Lebron from the 2011 Heat leads to a Miami win Fact is, the NBA wasn't very good in 2006. The Heat don't win anything from 2011-2014 without Lebron. Maybe an ECF in 2011, but no more |

Pro sports are so corrupt, it's impossible to take these games seriously anymore. Sounds like a WWNFLE finish.

Most importantly and an often overlooked fact - Kyrie wouldn't leave the Cavs because MJ wasn't a team hopper like LeBron is |
