Whats worse in terms of performance? Forget about the outcome. Lebron 8 points in 48 min OR Kobe 6/24 ?

He would be more productive off the bench, imo.

Guys, stop being so hard (II) on Lebron. He has a skillset that Jordan could only dream about. It's not always about stats. He's still on pace to win 6 maybe 7 rings and go down as the GOAT .. just ask the guy who played with Jordan.

Wade is clearly to blame for this. He shouldn't of emasculated bron like he did at the end of game 3. What an awful team mate. smh

Lebron's 10-30 and 4-16 against the Spurs in the 07 Finals didn't become one so I guess no

Jordan hasn't, but Kobe came close in Game 3 against the Pistons in 2004 when he dropped 11 points on 13 shots. That was against an epic defense though, and the Pistons ran away with that game in the 2nd half.

LeBron is like the modern day Wilt -- always disappearing when it matters most.

For people saying he didn't have that bad of a game... I was waiting the entire game for him to turn it on, but he didn't. For his standards he was just awful, and it's really puzzling. It's not just the percentages either.

Jordan's lowest in a finals game was 22 points. His lowest series in the finals was 27.3 ppg.


Somebody needs to let Scottie Pippen know that a lot of this game DeShawn checked Lebron.

Marion had 16 points with James on him. Stevenson finished with 11 points and Dallas won.

That kind of thing would have NEVER happened to MJ.
Bye bye Beal.

There were a bunch of possessions where there were switches between Marion and Terry/Kidd and Wade passed the ball to him to exploit the mismatch in an ISO and he just swung it back to Wade, who was being guarded by Marion, without even dribbling. It was like he wasnt trying.

It's hard when he can't get the ball after that initial pass.

I somewhat defended him for Game 3.

There's no defending what happened tonight. LeBron wasn't "deferring" to anyone out there, he flat out played TO NOT WIN.

Jordan demanded the ball.

Maybe James is just unselfish. Either way I'm starting to feel sympathy for James.

Forget about the outcome? Right....

Kobe had 15 rebounds in that game and made a major contribution to the Lakers winning the game and series. Lebron disappears and Heat lose, even though Dallas's only real star is severely hampered by a bad fever.

What a scrub.

Dallas really played tremendous defense against him.

This is why Lebron went to join Wade.

Because he wanted it to be easy.

He wanted to win WITHOUT putting in the kind of balls to the wall effort.

I'll give Wade credit, D-Wade BRINGS it and gives it his all, win or lose.

Lebron? "OMG SAVE ME DWAYNE!"

LeBron honestly looked like he just didnt care.

He played exactly like he did agaisnt Boston last year.
