What's your favorite RAMBO type performance in the 'YOFFs? 

Post#1 » by Karate Diop » Thu Aug 4, 2022 2:19 am

The 'YOFFs are a different animal. You either come to kill or get killed. Over the years we've seen a lot of great individual performances across various 'Chises in the playoffs, but what's your favorite RAMBO type game where one dude was just firing away and willing his team into a game despite having all odds stacked against him?

when lebron ran thru detroit and they made the finals despite having no business being there.
AI in game 1 vs the lakers.
Kawhi 39 shots against philly.
durant vs bucks when durant had his foot on the line.
Giannis vs boston without middleton
lillard vs denver when he hit all those clutch shots.

As far as the ‘yoffs go, the ‘randon ‘oy comeback game against the ‘ricks was so great.

Why is Rambo capitalized? I’m missing how that’s short for anything? Or am I missing something

Dwyane Wade 2006 Finals. If you want a specific game I'll go with game 3 when Miami was down 0-2 in the series and trailing by 13 midway through the 4th quarter

Maybe recency bias but Curry in game 4 of these past finals challenging every Celtics fan to a shimmy-off to take focus off of Draymond when he was mentally tanking. So gangster.

Lillard finishing off the Thunder, game 5 2019. A really satisfying 50 point performance. Damian was at the peak of his powers and nailing stupid difficult 3s all night.

It was also one of the most one-dude-against-the-world games. Not because his teammates were bad but because most of those points were Lillard alone, just shooting off the dribble.

OKC was playing really well too, including good defense against Lillard.

Giannis after he had his, "does this knee work?" game. I don't think Giannis's performance last year in the finals is as lauded as it should be. Just a GOAT level finals performance even before you consider the context.

I will laud Giannis's 20-21 Finals G6 like it should for one main reason. For a career 72% free throw shooter to go 17 of 19 from the line to close out the Suns was one of the most baller things I've ever seen on an NBA court. He took his biggest weakness, turned it into a strength and broke the opponent's back with it.
