Barea was defending Lebron that series. Zone defense or not if Lebron was a real basketball player at that point he should have shot over him time and again. But he wasn’t good back then. That’s why he needed a beating to make him work harder and develop a shot which he did come 2012.
Spacing? Michael Jordan had Pippen, Rodman/Grant, Longley, other scrubs who can’t shoot, yet he still won 6. So you’re admitting if Jordan had better spacing he would even win more, just like how Lebron won chamoionships when he got his spacing and shooters.
It's always cringe when people try to downplay the 2011 epic fail. Fortunately it doesn't happen that often.
I know you aren't talking after you called the 2014 Spurs a bunch of old role players. Your entire gimmick is doing anything and everything to make everything LeBron did seem bad in retrospect. Not my fault you don't know what you're talking about.
The Spurs had literally zero players to average 17 PPG. Kawhi was still a baby and their big three were all in the wrong side of 30, two of them older than 35.
If any other superstar lost by record margins in the Finals to that team, that would be an instant legacy killer as far as you're concerned. But since it's LeBron, he gets a pass from you. Because Bron fans are the most disingenuous fan base in sports history.

no. 1st half, they favored OKC. First ~6 minutes of the 3rd seemed fair. The last ~12 minutes has been in favor of the Pacers. Call a spade a spade.

Incredible to think some people tried to tell me he's better than Edwards or Doncic.
His bag isn't quite as extensive as I thought it was.
That's not fair. He has a huge bag. Its just when things get super tight, he does what he's comfortable with no matter what the defense is, and its literally one move. That could be an offensive foul.

calling timeout with a free throw left is smart. lot of time for nesmith to think about it

Why is Mark D trying to match IND small ball lineup? Hasn't he realized that it won't work after 3 games?

Feel like this game being only 1 day rest has gassed even Indiana. Finals games are just different.

I absolutely hate seeing that. Reminds of the guys in pick up that say offense can't foul while they're elbowing you in the face and call it on you

Playing the Pacers must be so exhausting.
They're putting pressure on you the whole game on both sides. There's no time for you to catch your breath even with subs in.

Luka plays like he thinks he's Messi.

Guys. Whoever wins this game could easily win the series. Kind of crazy to think about.

He's excellent, don't get me wrong. A lot of credit here goes to Nembhard. But SGA seems to have nothing but try to drive and get to the mid-range. I could be watching DeRozan.

The Thunder would be down by 20 without the refs.
