    As has been said, his stat line looks good, near triple double, but that doesn't tell the story. He didn't have a big impact. Steph's stat line looked ok after he hit some shots in the 3rd quarter of game 3, but he had a garbage game. Even tonight Steph was just very good, not great.

    He needs to get traded. It's just not working for him with Lebron and Kyrie hogging the ball.

    I wonder what the time is on that clock. Is this before or after LeBron steps over Draymond and loses his cool?

    Supposedly this is what set him off though.

    As explained by Kobe about all floppers he clearly doesn't. Except when threatening to beat up Steph Curry.

    now I hate LeBron as much as the next guy, but tonight was ridiculous. He CAN NOT be stopped when he drives to the hole yet he continues to pass or shoot jumpers. I would literally drive to the hole every single possession until GS proves they can stop it.

    also I noticed numerous times when draymond would get a smaller guy guarding him and fully take advantage. conversely, LeBron had curry, Livingston and others guarding him and either passed it out, took a tough shot or did something else. he seemed to refuse to back down smaller players.

    its just nuts with how (physically) good he is, that he doesn't take more advantage. its maddening. just like we always talk about kobes brain in shaqs body would be the GOAT, I feel like kobes brain in lebrons body would be just as dominant

    I disagree. It might be easier, but it ain't easy.

    After listening to those clips, I think Van Gundy would be a great coach for our young guys. Play the right way.

    In this series LeBron can get going towards the rim, but the Warriors have done an elite job of stripping or blocking him near the rim. Through four Finals games LeBron has had 23 turnovers to 35 assists. Near the rim the Warriors are getting their hands on the ball consistently either on the ground or in the air. Part of that is fouling him, part of that is LeBron's declining athleticism in space, and part of it is just fantastic defense from Iguodala, Green, Barnes, Klay, and Livingston.

    You're right though that going to the rim is his best shot. Through over a decade of play LeBron still hasn't developing a consistent jump shot or post game.
