Rapties have to realize an L is an L doesn't matter how many points you lose by. They need to pick their heads up and win the next game. But they are mentally weak and Casey is fucking awful as a head coach, so it won't happen. I half hope they lose this series so Casey can get fired. He's shit. We didn't he even ATTEMPT to play Norm when they were down say, 18 points? He's the one that got them back in the game at Indiana last year in game 5.

LeBron was always a 70-75% ft shooter. Ray taught him not to dip so much but he only kept it up for like 2 weeks. Korver is the first one to get him to put his feet like this, he's figuring out the form and I bet you he is shooting better next season.

>>75388155
it depends on the matchup. kyrie and love are very one dimensional players, if their offense is hot they are very good but they get abused on defense.

they are still very valuable but some games they can be taken out early if they are clearly playing like shit that day and let the lebron show go on. remember the 2015 finals? lebron knows how to completely change the pace of the game with different lineups around him. that's what makes him special. all the other so called mvp players play literally just one style they excel at and nothing else.

>>75388179
A good point I've heard made is that Kevin Love tends to play better when he's the secondary option and not the tertiary one, but that's really impossible to do. Kyrie will play 40 a game in the finals and LeBron 42. That's a minimum of 34 minutes of overlap. Love can only play about 14 minutes without all 3 of them. I think they should capitalize on that though.

Tbh, Kyrie isn't a good running mate for LeBron because LeBron is so good running the point. He would be much better with an off guard or another forward. I think he'd play great with someone like PG or Melo.

>>75388250
What are they going to do? Rebuild? DeRozan is old and they are stuck with him. Honest to god think Lowry is better but doesn't show up in big games. Ibaka is also actually old despite his birth certificate so resigning him without championship hopes is a joke. What they are going to build a team around fucking DeMar as their only good player? May as well bring back Rudy Gay. If they lose this series it proves 3 things
1. We have a really sad future
2. Casey is trash
3. Middleton is really good and Bucks should be the 4 or 5 seed and would be if he wasn't out all year.

So will the Raptors blow it up? Their two guards have proven they don't have what time takes to perform in the playoffs, Valancuinas has proven he's a softy, Ibaka is 37 years old. Demarre Carroll isn't playing up to his contract.

>>75388289
kyrie is a great running mate for lebron, besides his bad days he gets offense out of nothing. he's an elite 3pt shooter and can make the most contested field goals (rather than ones created from ball movement or open shots etc.) being able to finish or chuck when being contested heavily is the most invaluable skill in the playoffs.

Fire Casey, and dump some overpaid fucks. This team can be good, it doesn't have to do with choking it's Casey's inability to run an offense. And they have no 3 point shooting.

we see you and the american flag poster same same fagging the westbrook stuff.

Fact is his team is ass, the first 3 quarters it was fine and his fg% was near 60%. He leaves the game ONCE and the lead immediately vanished. NOBODY else was hitting shots....NOBODY else was being aggresive.

In game one he took less shots and was more passive...they got btfo....literally nothing he can do lmao.


After last night he solidified his mvp imo. That team is so fucking awful

>>75388561
His teammates were 1-7 because they couldn't get in a rhythm because he took 12 straight fucking shots. It's not even so much the shot attempts as there was NO ball movement. What were all of those pull up 3s? This "Westbrook deserves no blame" nonsense is insane. They were TIED 104-104 and he started jacking shots like there was no tomorrow.

I think he will too. I think this series will humble him and make him be less selfish, like Jordan when he lost. Not comparing Westbrook to Jordan but Jordan was an all time chucker. Granted he would have won this game because the nigga chucked his way to 51% shooting every year

>>75388704
The all stars didn't play for the whole 4th.

But if you think Westbrook is better than LeBron I'm not even entertaining this discussion.

>>75388729
>Not comparing Westbrook to Jordan but
You should. Jordan did himself

>>75388697
he got literally one minute of rest. all of his shots were short. If that isn't fatigue idk what is.

You tell me what the other option was? truth is there was none. Are you faggots salty SA fans pissed off at last year's bootyblasting? I'm a pacer fan and i really don't get the westbrook butthurt.

Obviously the 4th quarter was bad but when you look at the circumstances you can't be that upset unless you really just fucking hate him

I'm sorry but their second best scorer in Oladipo was a no show with Westbrook on and off the floor, missing open shots.

Literally carried the team the entire time shooting super efficient and couldn't miss from midrange.

Does the same shit in the 4th quarter with the only difference being he missed some shots while his teammates continued to struggle.

This is how they've played all season and you're expecting magic?

>>75388770
I don't care. Jordan was much better than Westbrook. The only thing comparable is their mentality.

im done with this ''''''''''sport''''''''''

literally wwe tier

>>75388767
Kyle Korver has the best 3pt% in the league and made most their shots, JR second, then they had Williams, another great three point shooter, etc.

Low quality b8

Literally half of Westbrook a teammates shot better percentages than him in game 2. Sorry westlipstick, learn to pass and maybe you'll win some playoff games one day.

>>75388807
He didn't do the same thing. He shot 18 shots in the 4th. The most in playoff history. The first 3 quarters they were doing fine. Westbrook chucked them out of the game.

Is it all his fault? No. But it's majority his fault, because the game was tied and very close and anything is better than 6 straight pull up 3s with lots of time on the clock. You have to give him a lot of blame.

This doesn't correlate directly with how much you pass. Granted his other teammates are trash so I can understand why he's hesitant but his usage rate proves he does not pass very much.

>>75388913
The key word is playoffs.

Westbrook's been doing this all regular season and it's not going to change if he's in the playoffs. He's got the highest usage rate ever for a reason and he's carried them in the 4th quarter all season.

It's not suddenly changing.

>>75388948

This is a one time thing until the team can make a move.

You're so ignorant and oblivious it's not even funny.

>>75389066
When the game is tied with 2 minutes left and you take 6 straight pull up 3s, that's mostly on you. I give him a lot of credit for having then there to begin with, and if he had made smart basketball plays and they still lost I wouldn't be saying this.

First 3 quarters were nothing like the 4th. Watch the tape. Those pull up 3s amazed me because he had been playing so well. I understand his teammates gave up a lead so he got frustrated but he can't change his game plan because of frustration.

Just put me out of my misery

I have never seen a professional basketball player have more excuses made for him than Westbrook. Can you imagine the hysteria if Lebron had the fourth quarter Russ had? You would never hear the end of it.

People talk about Russ like he's a special needs kid. He's a good boy who tries is best, and when it comes up short it's just Russ being Russ. Russ' biggest fans say "well, you take the good with the bad." Like, even his stanchest supporters essentially admit he is too retarded to make good decisions. Such a frustrating player.

>>75389152
>>75389152
He does take the critism though unlike """super star paul george" i've never ever heard westbrook throw his teammates under the bus

He didn't chuck them into the game at that level. He didn't shoot 18 times in a quarter. He didn't have 6 straight pull up 3s with time on the clock. He went away from his game plan.

>>75389174
It's not the first season he's ever done it. He had multiple seasons where he had more shot attempts than Kevin Durant, you don't think that's an issue? The Thunder have lost many series with both KD and Westbrook chucking away games. This isn't the first time he's done it. Again I like WB and I think he will change for his team.

>>75389242

3. win
4. win
5. Wade, Bosh both died, can't do it alone
6. Love, Kyrie died, still get to game 6 vs. one of the best teams ever

8*. Has to carry the defending champs on his back in the 1st round from the equal biggest defecit to win, after his 2 supporters decide they can't play for some reason

Because he took the first 3 of them, yeah. Come on man anyone with sense could tell he went away from the game plan that won them the first 3 quarters because he was frustrated. At the end of the day the game was tied 104-104 and Westbrook made some really bad decisions down the stretch. I disagree with worst performance ever, but it was hard to watch for a bit.

I think it's because he drives a lot looking for calls. I see this happen with DeRozan and other players who drive without trying to shoot the ball. Westbrook gets a lot of FTs when he's trying to make shots, the refs award that vs driving with the intention of drawing fouls. Granted he does get some calls against him, likely because they just expect him to make it.

Brons 09-10 seasons were better than this as a one man wrecking crew. 66 wins in 09. 61 wins in 10. 19 wins in 11. That speaks for itself. This is definitely one of the greatest seasons ever, but in my estimation Bron has 3 seasons (09, 10, 13), wilt has a couple, and Jordan definitely has a couple (scoring leader, steals leader, DPOY, mvp season comes to mind).

I've literally seen Westbrook score 14 straigh points in a quarter, carry his team to a win in the clutch, and these same guys on /nba/ that hate on Westbrook say nothing.

They ignore his achievements and magnify his failures in a season where he's carried this team in the clutch for a majority amount of wins and having statistically the most clutch season ever with the highest PER ever and these people are mad he took some threes he'd been winning them games with.

These same shots are what got them here and you're ignoring all this teammate's more glaring mistakes like the blown 12 point lead he'd just created and maintained all game shooting 60%.

It doesn't matter what Westbrook does you'll still hate him because you're all sad pathetic trolls with no life.

You have nothing.

You weren't even alive to watch basketball back in LeBron's first Cavs years.

The NBA then was much worse overall, the teams were weaker outside the Celtics, the east was even more weak then now, and even then LeBron barely scrapped by due to luck and unlikely events.

You're underage.

>>75389761

He didn't break any 3pt records or triple double records. Hell he didn't even lead the league in scoring that year. You're crazy if you think that's even in the top 5 this decade. It was a solid season, but great MVP's are about outliers and storylines not just being really really good

Anyone think the Korver pickup is secretly the best pickup for a team this season outside of Durant? Korver is a ridiculously good 3pt shooter and his catch and shoot is as good as Klay's due to their excellent shooting mechanics. Korver is also a really smart player and defends decently as well as causes havoc on enemy defense due to his running around.

I mean he might be even better because Durant doesnt fit the warriors offense and doesn't really add that much NET positives despite his talent. Korver adds ridiculous value to the Cavs bench and he was best buddies with deron williams so you just know they have some good pnr or two man games they will destroy other teams benches with.

I completely disagree with this. Imagine he's in the west. Instead of losing in the finals he wouldn't make them to begin with. He'd be a nice 3-0 instead of 3-4. I actually think 3-4 is better especially the 2015 series but most people don't. He'd have the same stats at this age as MJ. And he arguably doesn't lose in 2015 because Kyrie likely doesn't get injured playing completely different teams.

You miss all the shots you don't take pussy.

And it's not all time, it's only the playoffs. Kobe has shot way more than 18 shots in a quarter during his post Shaq pre Gasol years yet Westbrook with a similar team has carried them to the playoffs while the Lakers couldn't cut it as Kobe wasn't good enough outside of scoring.

Raptors are shit

>>75389962

>>75389852
>NBA was worse overall

i want this meme to die, just because the pace was slower and teams played much grittier does not mean it was worse overall.

27 straight wins in 2013. His PER was through the roof. He shot 57%, I bet you he was the first player in NBA history with the stat line he had.

Lead a lottery team to 66 and 61 wins in 09-10. 19 wins in 11. So I put all 3 of those above Westbrooks. Westbrook is a godly player but he ain't LeBron James and he won't even retire top 10 all time.

I mean, feel free to say "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take" again, as if that has any bearing on whether or not Russ had a good fourth quarter.

Once again:

Saying that "Russ should have shot less in the fourth quarter" is not that damning of a criticism. I don't know why people get their panties in a bunch about this.

>>75389930
I don't like to play hypotheticals because its always hard to gauge just what could have happened. Would he be able to get a good enough seed to advance? Would playing in the west even make a difference? Who knows but what we do know is that the east during Lebron's run is/has been historically the worst all time. Personally I think if he played in the west, he makes the finals twice tops. He'd always run into the Spurs and we all know they have had his number his whole career.

>>75390002
No, by playoff success and proven records. Notice these teams only last a season then they blow up when they lose after being exposed in the playoffs? That doesn't happen in the west.

Spurs, Grizzlies, Warriors, Thunder (before last offseason), Mavericks, Clippers - their cores don't change. They come back stronger the next playoffs.

didn't they literally invent PER that season just to make lebron's stats seem better than they really were? I don't remember PER even being a thing until they gave lebron the MVP and then retroactively went back and manufactured it so that Lebron would have the highest. Plus that Heat team was stacked as FUCK.
