    Washed. And Dumb. Made some good defensive plays. But stubborn chucking and turnovers. Now he has another excuse.

    If you're looking for optimism, Bron has the know how for this kind a thing

    Much dumber to be honest.

    That dunk is one of his trademark plays. He converts that 99.99% of the time, and I think it’s the kind of play that would have really energized the team. I’m not too upset at him trying that. It’s not like it was some insanely athletic dunk that he has no business trying at his age, the ball simply slipped out of his hands.

    But the 3’s? Yeah those were crushing. I really hope someone in the media calls him out on it.

    Honestly though I thought he played well for most of the game, and I liked his defense on Jokic

    it's pretty messed up how often he and AD get hacked around the bucket. i wouldn't complain if it was called evenly, but i don't think it is. nobody gets to hack jayson tatum.

    the refs called two identical block/charge plays both in denver's favor, too, which seems like no biggie except that's 4 points in what was a 4-point game.

    Players do dumb stuff when their tired and I think if we have him guard Jokic and he was awesome there, we have to get the offense going someplace else.

    Need AD and DLo to step up here otherwise the pressure is going to fall on a tired old guy who will go back to depending on what he was able to do in the oast

    except i don't think lebron's specialty was ever the three.

    i don't like that we can't trust russell or schroder to initiate offense late in games. it's reaves or lebron. that's it.

    Stupid chucking again.
    He’s been a really dumb player when it comes to shot selection.

    Doesn't trust his burst? They're playing under? He's been a very good 3 PT shooter in the playoffs for the last 10 years? He's stubborn?

    Whatever it is need to have DLo or AD step it up on offense because DS is best as a secondary playmaker and that leave only Reaves .

    I wish that ankle stopped you from shooting 3s.

    He’s what now, 0-10 on threes for the series? Not gonna get it done, sorry, sucks, but here we are. I don’t know if he’d be this bad if he weren’t injured, but he is, so the end looks like it’s coming quicker. Nobody dominates forever, that’s just reality. I’m super grateful for the title and this last run though, this franchise was on a baaaad path and he chose to come here and turned it around, he gets tons of respect for that.

    This man has been so efficient on two pointers its crazy that he shoots so many threes. Media was too scared to ask him about the threes postgame. He seems calm, I have faith that he will bounce back.

    He's got to stop with the threes. Yes, he missed some other gimme layups which were uncharacteristic, but still managed to go 9 for 19 overall. But 0 for 6 from three is unacceptable. We needed scores on those late possessions especially.

    Yeah, I'm not worried about his missed bunnies those are outliers for the most part. The threes have been a season long issue that hasn't been addressed. He seems to chuck way more on the road.

    The guy is already playing heavy minutes on a foot, that he's probably going to have to have surgery on, nevermind an ankle sprain. The 3's are in his head at this point.

    Didn’t watch Ham’s conference, but this sounds promising? Seems like a diplomatic way of telling Bron he needs to stop shooting those 3’s.
