You think losing in the Finals is worse than losing earlier in the playoffs? You're essentially saying it's better to lose in the first round than to make it to the Finals and lose. That's some silly shite.


What is the bigger game?? Do you want your best player to play great during the first round win and disappear in the finals on a lost? Playing great and winning when it matters the most is by far more important. Anything else is just a participation trophy type thinking.

Which game bothers LSU fans the most 21-0 lost to Bama or losing to Penn State in a minor bowl game. Of course the 21-0 lost does.

I hope you don't procreate. Losing in the first round matters, because when you lose your season is over.....

The Finals, obviously. But the entire playoffs matter. When you lose, it's over. It's doesn't matter when you lose.

Seems that you would rather your player disappear in the first round and get bounced early than even make it to the Finals.

That's ridiculous.

It's objectively better to make it further in the playoffs. The Lebron v Jordan shite is the first time in my life I've seen someone argue that it's better to lose earlier in the playoffs than later. It's a plus for Jordan that he lost in the first round, and a negative for Lebron that he lost in the Finals.

You're arguing that disappearing in the 1st round of a loss is better than doing it in the Finals.


Doesn't get any better than that, MSB folks!!!

This guy thinks a bowl game is the equivalent of the 1st round of the playoffs. It actually did get better than that.
