    Did he only take 2 shots for an entire half, get 0 rebounds for that half and log more turnovers than assists for the half?

    Who gives a f*ck what his record is against the Rockets? He's only won 2 series in his career, period. He's never even made it past a game 5 in the 2nd round.

    So he did nothing for the majority of the 2nd half instead of for the entire 2nd half and that's supposed to make it better? He had 3 points in the 2nd half, 0 in the last 16 minutes. He had 11 points in 45 minutes to go along with 6 boards, 6 assists, and 6 turnovers...

    Nope... Lebron took 9 shots for the half... so 4.5X what harden took game 6 first half... equally crappy results... but at least he tried...

    Did you watch the game? There was a reason guys like Irving, Love, and Smith were continually open.

    Did u watch the game? There was a reason the Cavs blew a 16 point halftime lead and lost to the Celtics at home with no IT.

    Yep, Marcus Smart hit a bunch of 3's that he normally doesn't make. There's not much you can do when a 28% 3pt shooter makes 7 out of 10 attempts.

    Are you implying that it was Lebron's fault that the Cavs lost?

    It's one thing to take 16 shots... realize it happening for you and curtail your shooting going forward... and another to not try outta the gate...

    if I've got to explain it to you... not worth my time...

    ah, no mention of Lebron's 11 points in 45 minutes as a reason for why they lost, just Marcus Smart :rolleyes:...

    he disappearance was a big reason why they lost and why the Cavs only scored 42 points in the 2nd half

    It wasn't happening for him and curtail his shooting? Lebron can handle anyone on the Celtics with ease. Gimme a break...

    Obviously Smart's hot shooting was the primary reason the Cavs lost. It's a big deal when a 28% shooter suddenly makes them at a 70% rate on volume attempts.

    Out of curiosity, why do you think the Cavs' shooters had so many open looks today?

    and it's also a big deal when Lebron plays 45 minutes and has only 11 points...

    The Cavs' shooters always have open looks. If you're trying to imply that Lebron's 11 points weren't a big deal because he was creating open looks for his shooters like he does every single game then u can go and have that argument with somebody else. All those open looks, and they only had 42 points in the 2nd half while Lebron had 3 with none of them coming in the final 16 minutes. Hmmm...

    If the defense overplays Lebron and forces him to pass to his teammates, why are you blaming Lebron for his teammates missing? If that's how your logic works, then why aren't you blaming Harden when the Rockets miss perimeter shots?

    If I have to explain to u why Lebron only having 11 points in 45 minutes and 0 in the last 16 minutes is a big deal then I no longer wish to have this convo with u.

    "his teammates missing"

    Man, what are u talking about? His teammates went 16-35 from 3. They shot 46% from 3 and Lebron's 0-4 from deep is what brought them to 16-39 which is still 41% shooting. Kevin Love had 28 points on 8-16 shooting. Kyrie had 29 on 10-15 shooting. JR shot 4-8. Tristan went 3-4. Lebron went 4-13. His teammates provided more than enough help...

    Lebron is the one who was nowhere to be found, not his teammates...

    You think that if Harden had done what Lebron did in this game while his teammates played well that we wouldn't be blaming Harden? Don't kid yourself...
