It's good basketball but a closer like MJ or Kobe want to take the winning shot.

And James doesn't do it as often as he has in the past so he's clearly wanting to be the man and cement his legacy.

Found this article on sportingnews.com: LeBron James' game winner draws comparison to Michael Jordan's iconic shot

One thing it mentions. Go-ahead shots in the final 5 seconds of 4th quarter/OT in the playoffs. LeBron's 6 for 13. MJ was 5 for 11. The myth that LeBron doesn't hit clutch shots seems false.

Love is out for Game 7.

Just got placed into the concussion protocol and there's just no way to clear all of the required steps by then even if everything went perfect.

As I previously stated, he's been trying to change that the last 4-5 years.

My bad. Must have missed that part. My head is a little cloudy right now. And I'm thirsty. Need some iced tea.

So what you're saying is if the Warriors win the series you called it correctly. But if the Rockets win the series you called that correctly as well. Got it.
No. You've got to learn to read otherwise you make ridiculous statements like the one above.

Of course. Whay a silly question. Who would pick the Rockets without Chris Paul?

Um, me?

Gordon is averaging 18ppg this series. He can easily up those and replace CP's production.

And Harden will most likely have a monster game.

You are ridiculous.

Again, if the Warriors were completely healthy this series would already be over. Iggy is essential for this particular matchup.

Now you will toot your own horn like you were right all summer regardless of the outcome.

BS. If the Warriors win you were wrong regardless of whether CP3 plays again.
LOL! Too ridiculous to even comment on. It was the poor play of Curry, Thompson and Durant that was the problem, not missing an aging sixth man.

And yet you couldn't help yourself. Just like you can't help being wrong on the internet.

Won't be enough unless the Warriors come out over confident and lackadaisical which is a very real possibility.

The only thing ridiculous in this thread right now is you.

Been spot on in this year's playoffs. I know this galls you but it makes you look silly denying it.

So, the home team has won every single game in this series so far.

That certainly favors Boston in Game 7.
