His teammates shot 39.77%. He shot 55% fwiw.

It’s maybe been done before, but remarkable nonetheless. And those percentages aren’t skewed by awful numbers in losses/great numbers in wins. His teammates shot the following:

Game 1- 38% (Loss)
Game 2- 41% (Win)
Game 3- 44% (Loss)
Game 4- 41% (Win)
Game 5- 33% (Win)
Game 6- 41% (Loss)
Game 7- 33% (Win)

The two most important games of the series, 5&7, his teammates shot 33% and he won both.

His averages for the series were 34-10-8. It’s year 15 of his career. We’re very lucky to get to see this kind of excellence.

Agree. He's a generational talent. I'm not personally a fan of him, but you have to respect the work he does on the court.

He’s incredible, but it was the fricking Pacers. Are Oladipo and Bogdonavich future HOFers now?

If you take out Lebron and replace him with an average NBA SF, the pacers sweep this series. If you replace him with an all star caliber player, the Pacers also still probably win.

That’s why it was so impressive what he did. But if you’re always looking for reasons to downplay what he does, you will always find reasons I guess.

Meanwhile, Houston won by 20 when Harden was 2-18.

Houston is a better team. That's not earth shattering news.

But tho

insert some obscure stat that shows that Harden is the real MVP “and it’s not even close.”

I know, that's the point. Cleveland can ONLY win when LeBron is great.

Also important to note that Lebron set up wide open shot after wide open shot all series long.

What does that have 2 do with what Harden did in a game 2 weeks ago?

LeBron has a ton to do with the makeup of the Cavs roster and their coaching staff.

The teammates LeBron wanted and had Cleveland trade for? Those guys?

You'd have a great point... if you weren't incorrect, but you are.

Is that really hard to imagine? Oladipo is an absolute stud and Bogdanovic played out of his mind, dropping bombs from everywhere and doing it with some great athleticism.

He gets away with traveling and lane violations on free throws all the time. Jordan GOAT.

His GM'ing abilities have nothing to do with his playing abilities. The Jordan acolytes should know this better than anyone
