we know the LeBronSxl will desperately scream "GOAT" :lol:

with that ring, but please make sure that it is the MVP of the Finals at least before screaming.
AD is currently the MVP

Lakers sweeping the Heat could help the Raptors with landing Giannis

33-9-9 from LeBron. He literally can post 30 point triple doubles without even getting out of first gear.

This Lakers team is honestly pretty good. They play like a team. AD and LeBron plus playoff Rondo and crew is a legitimate contending team any year. NBA has got to leave their stench though. Some questionable fouls on Jokic didn't feel right. You got to let a big man play. That's what I like about basketball. It's a sport for big men. If Jokic backs up Caruso and incidental contacts hurts Caruso's temple? Big deal. Get someone who can really defend Jokic on him. I feel like the NBA outsmarts themselves.

Heat were exciting mostly because of Bam and Dragic to a lesser extent.

so you think Giannis would be interested in playing with a 32+ year old non-3pt-shooting small forward? and one-way players like Tyler Herro or Duncan Robinson (2-for-10 in the Finals so far, looking like a total scrub)

They are also a trash road team but didn’t get exposed because of the bubble and are probably not gonna make it back to the ecfs let alone the finals anytime soon.

He’s averaging 29-11-9 on the series on 54 percent shooting. You think he’s not winning MVP after he averages a triple double for the series?

LeBron looks great. But lets be real AD looks like the final MVP. It doesn't show because the Lakers don't even need him to be so far.

He’s been great but 33-11-3 compared to the probable GOAT averaging a 30 point triple double in his sleep? I think everyone knows which way this vote is going especially after LeBron came 2nd in MVP voting during the season.

Two games: This NBA Finals thing has been easier than College and High School for AD and LeBron
AD 33.0ppg 63.7FG% 11.5rpg
LJ 29.0ppg 54.5FG% 43.8 3P% 11.0rpg

This has to be the least exciting finals ever. The finals mvp battle is the main storyline lol.

Oakville_Raptor · Post #3516 » by **Oakville_Raptor** » Sat Oct 3, 2020 4:27 am

The easiest championship to win in NBA history...congrats to the LA Lakers.

Most boring finals ever? This feels like 2017 and 2018 finals again. Lakers gonna sweep.

Watching Sixers fans try to rationalize the Doc signing as a positive brings me back to our BC days when we tried to find positivity in each ill-advised move he made. Depressing stuff.

LeBron looks great. But lets be real AD looks like the final MVP. It doesn't show because the Lakers don't even need him to be so far.

I think it's important to also factor in AD's defensive performance when considering finals MVP....he's playing DPOY type defense, we can't only look at the offensive production from AD/Lebron.

Our “best player” looked like a total scrub.
