i never said russ was a better player and i am not saying that now. i am saying russ was better tonight. russ coming back 20 down by going HAM is not something i remember lebron doing. maybe i am wrong so show me if you'd like. because i know i can show you lebron quitting in multiple situations. maybe i am wrong, but didn't he even sit most of the 4th when the spurs ran the heat out of the gym to closeout?


Wait, didn't Russ just start crying like a little child last game and went around trying to start fights because he couldn't deal with losing?

If you want to bring up what they've accomplished in their careers, the discussion is a non-starter.


don't make me give deshawn stevenson's phone number to the pacers!


James said he wouldn't respond to the criticism by responding to the criticism, saying that responding to Stevenson would be like "Jay-Z saying something bad about Soulja Boy."


Who beat who? Anyone actually remember who this bum was or what he did? I'm guessing not.

LeBron scored 30 points four times and had a 27-point triple double in a series-clinching Game 6.


What is Soulja Boy up to these days? Anyone know? :lol:

I think you might be the sensitive one. You said Westbrook had a better game, someone disagreed, you felt the need to defend your position. They responded accordingly. Dont lecture the board on a typical debate that you could see in a thousand other spaces.


thanks for sharing your thoughts. and also for lecturing me to not lecture. but i think by the team icons next to your name we both know where the sensitivity lies.


Youre welcome. For the record I couldnt care less about who had the better game, personally i think its a silly childish argument that accomplishes nothing. You think having a rooting interest in a team or player automatically presumes a lack of objectivity which I also happen to think is silly neophytic and childish, but thats my opinion.


that you keep calling it an argument is the problem. it was never meant as an argument. some just took it that way. let me rephrase then. on a night when lebron delivered a game so amazing that it would stand above the rest of the playoffs for years to come, we only had to wait two hours to see something even better.

i am not trying to accomplish anything. i am sharing an opinion on a message board. but again, you call me childish twice. and silly twice. i don't know what neophytic means so i'll choose to take it as a compliment.

Tell the ex Clippers that, who we closed out in 7 on their home court last year.
The Clippers were always pretenders. They also let Houston come back from a 3-1 deficit just like Utah might do. They made blowing 3-1 deficits a thing.

wait a minute. you seem to be referring to the wizards' days of deshawn. are you really not aware that deshawn was the starting 2g on the 2011 mavs title team? and that he led the defensive effort on lebron by dismantling his brain? should i post the picture of him in his "hey, lebron, how's my dirk taste?" tee shirt?

and i am sorry but that series is why lebron will never be goat. he looked like a dismantled ceethreepio by the end of that one. was getting owned by jason terry and jj barea. didn't even want the ball.

First of all, no one said LeBron was GOAT and certainly not me. MJ is GOAT.

However, LeBron will be closer to MJ than WB will ever be.

LOL @ Utah fans blaming the refs for calling fouls on Gobert. Adams was in foul trouble for two consecutive games with some weird calls and Westbrook got 4 fouls in the first half with 2 nice Ricky Rubio flops (that was smart but still...) Everyone was criticizing Westbrook for it instead of criticizing the refs.

Anyway, you guys have a better team and will probably end up winning the series. Good luck!

As a neutral fan, I thought his 5th foul was pretty ridiculous.

Never said the opposite. It's just that many other key fouls in this series were ridiculous too :)

The fouls on Adams in games 2 and 3 were also ridiculous.

Kanter went to the game to support the Thunder wearing a stache bro's shirt. Gotta love him.

If you only complain about bad fouls against your team and grow quiet during the fouls that benefit your team, then your crying is just sour grapes.

Gobert got a tough whistle tonight, but Thunder had a tough whistle in previous games. That's home-cooking.

Only fouls against my team are unfair. Therefore yours is a false statement. Ironclad logic.

Can't do much but tip your cap to the Thunder. They didn't give up while the Jazz just let their foot off the gas and paid for it.
