It's fun hating on LeBron, I'm enjoying it myself, but let's stop the "Quitting" narrative. Fatigued does not equal quit
Yea even the haters we admit he is completely gassed by the 3rd quarter bc Lue insist on running and gunning vs Golden State.

Any way to see their actual minutes on the bench, instead of just game minutes?

It is pretty incredible how much he still does on his own, despite two teammates who could/should carry some of the load.
LeBron has made 36 FGs to Durant's 37, yet only 8 of LeBron's makes were assisted, compared to 25 for Durant. That is an astronomical number.
Hell, even isolation specialist Kyrie has been assisted on a higher percentage of his makes than LeBron.

KD played 5 less minutes last night.
Curry is averaging 5 less minutes.
Draymond is averaging 10 less minutes.
Thompson, 3 less minutes
And actually you have to multiply those numbers by some factor because game minutes don't include dead ball time when you're still on your feet.

It's also incredible all the excuses I'm hearing for the crybaby. When GS lost last year, it was GS losing fair and square despite the Warriors being fatigued, Curry hurt, and a star player getting suspended that initiated the comeback.

There's a difference between excuses and reasons.

, what is the excuse? What LeBron is doing in this Finals, despite the 0-3 record, is nothing short of incredible. That is a fact. Have I ever suggested GS isn't beating Cleveland fair and square?

Right. So GS being tired last year was an excuse. Being tired this year is a reason.

GS is giving him his and tamping down on his teammates. Lebron can score 50 and keep the rest of the teammates in check for all they care as long as their own team scores more.

I think everyone can agree that the Cavs just don't have the talent to match up with GS this year. Being tired is a symptom of that.

jangalang doesn't even understand the basics of the NBA salary cap/CBA. Trying to reason with him is pointless imo

Also, not sure you get to use the excuse card for a self inflicted suspension.

Has anyone responded with "Look at their minutes" without acknowledging that Lebron sat because his arse was beat, and he was physically exhausted?
Posted on 6/8/17 at 3:38 pm to League Champs
Durant > Lebron

Because they were gunning for 73 until the end. You remember Curry playing hurt in the finals?

Because getting the other teammates going creates the snowball effect and does the real damage.

I understand enough to know that if KD says he wants extend his contract for less, that he's not "probably going to opt out this summer."
Come on, get schooled again.

That's all on Tyronn Lue...
The regular season is, as we clearly saw in the postseason, meaningless to this Cavs team.
I aware they suffered some injuries, but still LeBron should not have played that many minutes in the regular season. There really is no excuse for that.
