Greatest back to back Finals performances in history?

[tmacattack33]

ahhh no.

Michael Jordan vs Suns 4+5 (1993)

48 ppg, 7.5 rpg, 5.5 apg, 56.1 FG%

No, the extra 7 points doesn't mach up to the extra 5 rebounds, 4 assists, blocks/steals/overall rim protection, and low amount of turnovers.

Basically, only an assh*le wouldn't give credit to these two games. The meltdowns are funny, but seriously if you consider yourself a serious NBA fan and you don't give credit to these performances, you're a straight up asshole. Period.

Oooooooh sweeeeeeeeet irony......

you are dumb as hell .. bogut set the tone in those first two games with some monster quarters where he threw a block party and pretty much intimidated love, bron and kyrie from coming in the paint

The **** are you even talking about? Cleveland's most competitive/favorable qtr in this entire series has been the 1st qtr - when Bogut plays the highest share of his 13 mpg ( @ his mpg, btw). His team freaking LOSES when he's on the court. He's a net negative for the series and it was the same story last season too. Had Kerr not replaced him with Iggy in the starting lineup, Warriors would've likely lost last year. Believe me, not that it's going to happen, but there's nothing Cleveland would love more than for Bogut to make a miraculous recovery and play significant minutes in Game 7. They would LOVE it.

Iggy being completely gimped is also huge

GS have also lost 2 games in this series with Iggy being completely fine and LeBron scoring 73 in those 2 wins. And I'm curious to know when he actually got hurt tonight, because LeBron/Cleveland were balling offensively from the get-go today. And that's with Green, the uber-difference maker, playing as well.

Cleveland was the #3 ranked offense in the regular season. And entered the NBA Finals with pretty much the GOAT offensive rating through the first 3 rounds. Scoring is one thing they're really, really good at. Let's stop pretending their opponent has to have some kind of handicap for Cleveland to light 'em up.

If the Cavs pull off one more win, everybody can STFU about 2 for 7. Or anthing else. To come back from 3-1 against a 73 win team and win game 7 on the road while snatching back the "Best player in the game" status from Curry would be a hell of an accomplishment. I want to see this. To snatch this magical season from GSW and make it your own would be...

I absolutely want to see if Lebron can pull this off. No one saw this coming.

Iggy was hurt from a few minutes in dude .. they showed him running up the court, he looked like he had a metal rod in his back how stiff he was moving. if you watched you heard the announcers sayin how bad he looked and anyone with eyes could see it.

Bogut is a banger and a physical presence.. he puts in a lot of hits on both sides of the ball that help set the tone for golden state not to get bullied. Look at their "death lineup" today .. they got bullied out of the gym in the first quarter .. bogut is there to set a physical tone, which sets momentum for the death lineup to continue it. There's a reason they cant go small the whole time..

to act like Golden State's two best defenders being hurt doesnt make a difference in their defense is next level ignorance.. they havent looked like a dominant defense at all the past two games due to this myriad of issues, and cavs now have all the momentum.

you are dumb as hell .. bogut set the tone in those first two games with some monster quarters where he threw a block party and pretty much intimidated love, bron and kyrie from coming in the paint.. his effort is inconsistent, but when he shows up Bogut is a hell of a defender / best rim protector in the league with uncanny timing for helping, and unlike ezli he can dribble and pass and make decisions on offense. Iggy being completely gimped is also huge.. Warriors defense without green / bogut and iggy hurt has been AWFUL the past two games.


I give bron his credit.. hes getting FMVP no matter what, but you're dead wrong here.

you mean he's getting the fmvp if they lose? That's just ludicrous, he has three dog shit games in this series

he's been the best player in this series by far .. there have been some very favorable circumstances leading up to it, all the stuff that has crippled their defense, but bron has stepped it up more this Finals. Last year it was a prayer for him to hit a jumper, he's been hitting everything past two games

exactly, two games.
I also think he was great in G3. But that's it.
He completely wet the bed in first two games, reminiscent of 11 and was shit in G4.
You can't play half the series great and get a FMVP while still losing, it's just ludicrous.
If Curry has another 30+ performance in G7 and GSW win, this isn't even a contest anymore

Yeah, in those heavy 13 mpg he plays, during which his team doesn't even outscore the opponent . You are trolling, dude. So desperate to diminish LeBron's GOAT B2B performances that you don't even care about making sense.

Look at their "death lineup" today .. they got bullied out of the gym in the first quarter

Aaaand? How does this negate the fact that Bogut has been largely ineffective in his this series and his coach simply can't wait to take him out?

to act like Golden State's two best defenders

OMG . In Game 5, they were missing their "best defender" in Green. Now it's suddenly Mr. 13 mpg and a bench player? . Boy, this really has been a rough week for you Kobe kids.

they havent looked like a dominant defense at all the past two games

Gee, maybe because they're going up against what's been a GOAT-level offense this postseason? But....must....diminish......LeBron's.....accompli shments.....at.....all.....costs.....to......sleep ......better......at......night.

Good night, bro. Keep coming up with more BS to find some semblance of solace while the rest of the world celebrates LeBron's GOAT B2B performances.

curry would have to go off .. but honestly what do you want to bet on? Curry ringing off a string of 30 footers on cavs suffocating defense, or bron abusing the crippled warriors interior? one is pretty much a sure thing while the other will take a good amount of fortune that will need to be present right from the tip. idk man

[Xiengqichess]

Let's wait until game 7.
Will never be his fan anyway. He got too much advantage and calls.
Run over people will get it done!

[PJR]

Lol were you clowns caping this hard for injured players when the injuries were holding down LeBron and the Cavs last year? ? When they were limited to like 6 rotation players?

Nope. You clowns were likely "2 for 6" in every thread

"Bogut being out hurts dem!!" "Iggy has a boo boo on his back!"

Given Curry's character and resilience I think it's fair to bet that he's gonna be good in G7, man just has that ice cold blood in his veins.
And the worst thing that could happen for the Cavs was Curry going off like that at the end of this game, he's gonna be motivated and in front of his own fans.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a 40+ performance mainly on jumpshots
