LBJ isn't going to get lucky enough in this series like he did in Boston where the best players for his opponents were 20 and 21 years old.

Best case scenario for him is that they lose in 5 games.

And the Throbber could bed Rihanna, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift in the next 12 hours.

The series isn’t over. Not looking good but Cavs could easily win both at home.

Game One went to overtime. Last I checked the Cavs still have LeBron. The Rockets took the Warriors to game seven. The can win the games at home.

Fuuuuuck. Kevin Durant is a bad bad man.

If Durant had done this for OKC vs the Warriors then they would have beaten them.

Umm that was a winnable game at home for the Cavs.

Tequilla predictably slithers out once the Warriors win, arrogantly proclaiming the up-by-six Cavaliers were doomed to lose at half and mocks anyone who thought otherwise as worthy of scorn. He makes Dawgman basketball posters look like Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Except it was Westbrook that shit his pants in the last 3 games.

Game 6 and 7 of that series-

Durant
20-50 fga
57 points
14 rebounds
6 assists
3 steals
4 blocks

Westbrook
17-48 fga
47 points
16 rebounds
24 assists (ballhog)
6 steals
0 blocks

That is dead even. Which is a loss for Durant because Westbrook is your number 2. He produced like a second option. Durant came up small.

Some context-

Durant went 10-31 in game 6, a home close out game. He went 1-7 in the 4th quarter as his team blew a 8 point lead.

In game 7 he was better. 10-19 shooting. 10 fourth quarter points. Great. Why did he only shoot 19 times? I know “Westbrook”. Except Durant took 31 shots the game before. Oh and they were down 10 the whole 4th quarter so great job getting meaningless points.

Durant is the best when you’re up 2-0 playing an inferior team. Oh no if Durant hadn’t been so great the Warriors would have won in 5 instead of 4. What a hero.

Lebron is the best ever when it fucking matters.

Swaye

No matter what Durant ever does I will always think he's a bitch.

And Durant dropped 40 in game 5 which you conveniently left out of your stats. Throw that in and the ‘context’ changes entirely.

You can't ignore Game 5 in your analysis of a series where Durant's team famously blew a 3-1 lead.

If you play about as well as you can play for a half getting contributions that are above and beyond AND 2 of the other teams 3 best players basically did little in that half and you are only up 6 at half ... yeah, you are in a bit of trouble ... the whole regression to the mean thing
