See if the game was tied, he would've gone for the game winner. He misses, they just go to overtime. Just like against Indiana and Toronto. But he knew he would get blamed for the loss if he missed. So he decided to pass it off to hill, this way his legacy doesn't take a hit.
here 3 years later and I still can't believe that it took the second-best player in the league, the best shooter of all time, a defensive player of the year, another top 5 shooter of all time, the refs, and jr smith to beat this man.
No Lechoke's lack of testicles cost them the game. He doesn't want to be the best and take the game in his own hands and win it. He just wants to pass the ball so if he fails he can blame someone else. Hill should never have been on that line. It should have been little bron bron.
@Anthony Mercado When it's all said and done Green and Klay will definitely be hall of famers no doubt. Klay is a top 3 shooter of all time if not #1 and is currently one of the best 2 way players in the game lol. Easily a top 5 on ball defender in the league. Green is a dpoy and almost won 2 of them. A 3 time champion. He will also be a hall of famer.
This game in a nutshell: 1.Curry made some crazy 3s and got more rebounds than Tristan Thompson (again) 2.LeCarry dropped 51 and still lost by 10 3.KD played like absolute trash 4. OT was Lit AF and a fight broke out 5. The refs were sus & Jr Smith made History
Michael Beale let's not forget Jr intentionally trying to hurt Klay and he came back to outscore the Cavs almost by himself in OT. And the Jr Smith running out of the clock in a tie game lol
Statistically speaking, if you're an 80% foul shooter, then the odds of making 2 in a row is 64%. Add that with him looking like he was shitting himself, I think it was probably close to 30% chance of him making both
John50 Beach Guys miss a lot of free throws in clutch moments. Look at Kawhi or Manu, among others. I've seen LeBron miss a free throw close to the end of regulation. I actually thought the most probable scenario was he would miss one.
Plus the fatigue factor. Fatigue and pressure don’t mix well, makes you lose focus. Happened to a lot of great players as well, just take dirk nowitzki for example back in 2006.
JR Smith actually saved the blame going to George hill. If he made is free throws, then the Cavs could've won. JR Smith picking up the rebound, was better than the warriors doing so and calling timeout.
Hill didn't necessarily do a bad thing by missing the freethrow. If he had made it there would be a possibility that GSW would rebound and call timeout, with a few seconds left on the clock.
Hill flopped the foul he hooked klays arm and went down . look at it from a different camera angle bro hill flopped and got the call and still missed the winning free throw and they say cavs did not get ref calls all game smh
Adrian Pina Nah klay foul him , hill was wide open , klay was guarding 2 ppl , they had 3 people on LeBron so he couldn't drive and hill cut to the basket so LeBron went to threw it to him
Keonta Brown there different camrea angle show's hill arm hooking klays arm then hill throws himself to the ground look it up. Ain't no way klay tossed him that hard its a flopp for a foul
NOOOOOOPE! HE WAS TRYING TO RUN DOWN THE CLOCK BECAUSE HE THOUGHT THE CAVS WERE UP BY 1 J.R SMITH JUST SIGNED, SEALED AND DELIVERED LEBRON'S PLANE TICKET OUT OF CLEVELAND!
alpha omega Jr getting all the flack but you're absolutely right. There should have been a huddle with the players with lue saying "if we miss the second free throw get the rebound and call a timeout. They weren't prepared at all, pop wouldn't have let that happen. LeBron did call a timeout but like u said lue should've called a timeout, there was enough time for a play, but when u look at it why was jr in the lineup to even get a chance at the rebound? After putting it on the coach you start to see even more problems with that whole breakdown. Was korver out there? Is jr dependable? No, he isn't the best thing would have been to call a timeout and get the right players out there. Maybe James love green korver and hill maybe. A lot of people blaming jr but when u break it down lue didn't have his guys in position to make a play.
Lebron had 51-8-8 in this game. And at the end of this video Chris says "GOAT like performance". And Skip says really?...."0 for 4 in OT". I am telling you Lebron could have scored all 114 points. And Skip would have said exactly what he said. Dude just will never really give Lebron his due. I mean his "bias" against him is just over the top!
Kenneth Erickson Different circumstances. Imagine one of Jordan’s teammates making that mistake vs the Celtics back then.😂 We’d still be hearing about it today.
Skip's argument about the play "not being called in a timeout" is ridiculous...Michael Jordan NEEDED to tell Kerr/Paxon because everybody EXPECTS Jordan to take the last shot....Everybody KNOWS that LeBron is going to make the correct basketball play, which is WHY George Hill cut to the basket!!! You don't cut to the basket like that, and not expect LeBron to find you....that's the worst argument i've ever heard!
maurice ballard Jordan has passed it on situations like this before, what made Jordan great was he took the big shots but he didn't force them everytime. He knew he'd draw 2 and take attention off guys and if they didn't help he'd get his.
That's a good point about the expectations of both players. However, in that game with steph curry guarding him, he should have felt comfortable taking the last shot
On the contrary, if Lebron James took the final shot himself (like Michael Jordan would have done and made it) then there wouldn't be a George Hill or JR Smith incident to complain about.
People are still trying to claim that lebron has 0 excuses like he didn’t just take on the avengers thanos style putting on one of the most impressive finals performances of all time. Can you just admit that you hate Lebron James already?
MindofJay he did great but made some mistakes himself. He went 0-4 in OT. And in regulation he made his teamates guard kd and he couldnt get pass curry on many possession which lead to a wasted possession.
Julian Randolph I realize that but do you really blame lebron shutting down in OT after his teammates completely threw away the game after he led them to the promise land? His morale, as well as the cavs was completely snatched from under them by the hill miss and the god awful jr play. He made the right pass time and time again and his teammates missed pretty much all of the open looks he gave to them. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t dare ask lebron to perform better then he did tonight because it was practically perfect.
This man Skip. If there were 5 guys crowding the paint and an Apache helicopter strafing LeBron.... and Kyle Korver was wide open in the corner, he would still say, "WELL MICHAEL JORDAN WOULD HAVE DRIVEN TO THE BASKET. WHY WOULDNT LEBRON? MICHAEL JORDAN WOULDNT HAVE GIVEN IT UP TO KORVER. HE WOULD HAVE THROWN THE BASKETBALL AT THE HELICOPTER LIKE A MISSLE AND TAKEN IT OUT. HE THEN WOULD GRAB A BLADE FROM THE FALLEN CHOPPER AND KILLED THE GUYS IN THE PAINT...." .... ... .. . "And then he would have made the layup."
maniac9565 keep crying bronsexual😭😭😭. Ya the refs also made hill a free throw, made jr run to 3pt line thinking it’s street ball and also made lebron go 0-4 in OT. Lechoke choked when it counted😂😂😂
So the Cavs shoot two more free throws but the refs are helping GS? If anything the refs want the Cavs to win. The NBA is desperate for this series to go 6-7 and not be a sweep.
1. George hill, an 80% free throw shooter bricked a game winning free throw 2. Refs obviously had an agenda in the last 2 mins in the game 3. JR Smith with the worst play of his career At this point, I'm honestly ready to go to Rodney hood and tell him that if he can just knock down shots and play some type of defense, he can start
Dumont Williams Korver is a knockdown shooter, but gets exposed on defense too much imo. Hood is 6’7” and has the tools to be a positive factor if he just focuses hard enough
skip...come on bro...you really gonna find something to blame lebron for? He made the right basketball play, it was a layup...he got pulled back..that was a much easier shot than trying to shoot over someone...skip is straight crazy..his hate has no bounds!
You’re right, but to be fair, with how reliable these Cavs have been I’m more confident in a contested 3 from bron then a slightly guarded layup for the rest of the team
In the last few minutes of the 4th, the refs missed so many calls for the Cavs and the ones they did call for the Warriors were very questionable, some were downright bad calls. When the refs are basically keeping the warriors in the game, there's no way the Cavs could gain any momentum, especially when they're the home team. Also, noting that the refs called a flagrant 2 on Tristan that could possibly suspend him for 1 game, with only *2.6 seconds left in the game!* This is the NBA Finals, officials can't be making these type of mistakes in a game of this magnitude. Because of stuff like this, people are going to start calling the NBA rigged, because we know how much the NBA loves dynasties.
It is rigged.. This is the TOP basketball league in the world and its the finals, and somehow refs in our small bario league officiate better than those 3 well paid cooks.
Had trouble sleeping last night man. Lol Felt for my guy LeBron after putting on such a show... not to bring division but, now i think i see how Kyrie felt after making the finals winning three for the lead and then LeBron and his block got allllllll the praise... kinda crazy how it turned like that :/
There were people who thought Kyrie deserved Finals MVP for that shot. He got praise even LeBron praised up Kyrie during the celebration, Kyrie just wanted to be the no.1 man
Jay Kelz dude cos bron is the best. i’m thankful for Ky and many thought he deserved finals MVP(i don’t think so). But he was great in that series. LeBron praised him as a god also bro don’t forget that. LeBron will always praise his teammates if the media won’t. He’s that GUY.
Dereck Henson no. LeBron left him under a bus when a trade was on the table for PG-13 and Bledsoe for Kyrie. LeBron said do it and Kyrie found out and felt disrespected, obviously. That's when he asked for a trade. This has been widely reported on. Kyrie probably did want to be no.1 but he wasnt about to leave, LeBron pushed him.
Damn, 3 years later and green did the same move in the play in tournament but as usual everyone says lebron flops even though you could literally see him be poked in the eye
I always look forward for Chris Broussard's take on these matters. He always has the most balanced and calm analysis out there. Everyone is blowing their top over that bum officiating and JR's blunder and evreything but he puts eveything in a better perspective.
watch the replay skip, Curry is directly on James while Draymond is eyeing lebron just about to help, hence the reason Hill was so open. Do your Homework first
Tyrone Lue should have called an immediate time out. He was too caught up the moment and for JR he was loss in the moment. Hill has never been in do or die spot before so we can't fully blame him.
Why didnt tyron lue call timeout ?? Theres always a ref next to the coach for plays like this !! I know lebrons called was missed for no reason but really ??? No one but lebron knew what was going on ? Thats sad af. Hard to get back from that loss.
Kevin Caro dont get this argument why would the refs help the favored team which every1 has sweeping. Wouldn't they help the cavs to extend the series to make more $$$
i tried to y'all the NBA was rigged, but nobody didn't wanna listen. I hate LeBron James guts, but to rob that man of a game one victory the way they(refs) did is terrible... As for J.R. Smith, he had a classic Chris Webber moment... Michigan moment... 😱😱😱
caponeike 100% my man, 4 horrible calls in the last 3 minutes of the game that were so obviously favorited to golden state, the corruption is unreal.. a very sad day for Lebron and Cleavland because they deserved the win.
Bruh I'm done with these Jordan worshippers! IM DONE! Every SINGLE TIME, the ONLY ARGUMENT IS "Lebron isn't clutch, he isn't mj". GUESS WHAT? HE AINT MJ, HES LEBRON RAMONE JAMES, ONE OF A KIND BASKETBALL SAVANT. He doesn't play HERO BALL. He's the ULTIMATE TEAM PLAYER. And even last night he was clutch all night long, keeping the cavs in reach the entire game. It's not even about just just scoring 50, it's about how EFFICIENT he was. Yeah Jordan scored 55, but did he do that against a team like Gsw?? And did he shoot 60%?? NO. Keep your Jordan worship to yourself. WE WATCHING LEBRON JAMES, THE GREATEST OF THIS GENERATION AND POSSIBLY THE GREATEST ALL TIME.
MJ dropped 55 against one of the worst defensive displays in the finals. Luckily, its on youtube for people to watch that Game 4 but I bet people won't haha
TrillTandon yeah how did GSW play defensively last night? Pretty poorly if you ask me for their amazing standards. Not taking anything away from LeBron, he was sensational and put on an all time great performance, but Jordan scored 63 on the all time great celtics when he was 22-23 years of age. As well as shooting 54% from the field and 38 of his 41 shots were contested.
Jordan had to have 4 straight 40+pts games, including a 55 pt game, against the 1993 Suns. He had to have a 35 point first half against the Blazers in 1992. He had to have a 13 consecutive field goals' performance (overall 15/18), against the Lakers in game 2, 1991, whilst dishing out 13 assists. Thats a small sample of perfection. All of that, from the shooting guard position, whilst playing intense defense against Drexler, Magic, Kevin Johnson etc and comitting very few turnovers. Pretty much the whole first three peat was Jordan playing beyond perfect all throughout the playoffs. Scoring big, with no defense and a shitload of turnovers aint perfect.
Out of prime magic, Drexler not known as a great defender kevin Johnson ain't 6'4 Bulls were expected to win each matchup. Two different circumstances. Only the 80s 76ers with two prime mvps could be comapres to these warriors, even then that's a bad comparison.
Magic was 31 and MVP the previous year. Dan Majerle, 2 time all defensive, 6,6, bulky, fast, athletic was Jordan primary defender. They switched on to Johnson in hopes of him being able to stay in front of Jordan and avoid him gettting to the paint. It didnt matter, Jordan would take on a shorther, monsterly athletic player like KJ off the driblle, like he wasnt even there. Jordan had already torched the best defense in the league in Knicks for 54 out of Chicagos' 104, more than 50% that is, hitting a single lay up and 17 heavily contested jumpers. Again, the Knicks started 6,6 monsterly athletic Gerald Wilkins on MJ, to switch on 1993 all defensive John Starks in hopes of limiting MJ's drives. Which happened, but it didnt matter anyway cause MJ put up the single best midrange shooting performance in playoff history. All of that is besides the point though. Jordan had to be beyond perfect for Bulls to three peat and he certifiably he was not just beyond perfect, but beyond anything imaginable. Oh, and he was a 6.6 shooting guard by the way. Plus he was a ferocious defender silmutaneously either shutting down prime Clyde Drexler or picking up a much bigger guy in Magic Johnson all the way from 3/4 for more than half the series or forcing an extremely explosive and fast John Starks in to 6 and 8 turnovers etc.
Skip is wrong about MJ saying "You will make that shot." It was Kerr who said if they double MJ, pass it to him, and "I'll make the shot." Kerr called it before the play.
These bandwagon warriors fans where were you when Baron Davis was your point guard 😂😂😂 Lebron just killed your team like he does everytime, just to bad for him he doesn’t have another MVP and 2 other all stars helping him out
He scored 51 points, was that not enough? Teams run the switch all the time in the NBA, it's nothing special about the match up. And if you're lebron, you want bigs guarding you, not guards, because guards are quicker on their feet, especially this GSW team. Their weakness is their subpar bigs (looney and bell), which they rarely guarded LeBron in any iso situation.
If I was dating Earl Watson I'd be salty too. Before she tries to shade lebron or Shannon she need to remember Shannon hall of famer & lebron is one of the greatest players ever. Her man season high was 10pts. Then on top of that dude got 2 kids with 2 different baby mamas. That's an L.
I know all that. But it kills me that she disses Shannon a lot & takes up for skip. When I know how she used to bash skip back in Miami. I know she don't like skip but he signs her checks so I see why she kisses up to him. He may find her old tweets about him. Lol I just know she better than that & she play the mutual field.
Will the Cavs bounce back in Game 2?
Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED yes
Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED Nah, this one was a morale killer I bet.
See if the game was tied, he would've gone for the game winner. He misses, they just go to overtime. Just like against Indiana and Toronto. But he knew he would get blamed for the loss if he missed. So he decided to pass it off to hill, this way his legacy doesn't take a hit.

@Anthony Mercado When it's all said and done Green and Klay will definitely be hall of famers no doubt.

A 3 time champion. He will also be a hall of famer.

@Blake About mine broooo you need to watch a vid about the warriors history
This game in a nutshell:
1.Curry made some crazy 3s and got more rebounds than Tristan Thompson (again)
2.LeCarry dropped 51 and still lost by 10
3.KD played like absolute trash
4. OT was Lit AF and a fight broke out

Michael Beale let's not forget Jr intentionally trying to hurt Klay and he came back to outscore the Cavs almost by himself in OT. And the Jr Smith running out of the clock in a tie game lol
Gregorio Gonzalez you right let me edit this
Gregorio Gonzalez he did not mean to hurt him
Keondre Hayes but if it was one of the warriors players then they're trying to hurt the other team tf is the double standard
Add george hill missed the game winning FT.
Statistically speaking, if you're an 80% foul shooter, then the odds of making 2 in a row is 64%. Add that with him looking like he was shitting himself, I think it was probably close to 30% chance of him making both

When Hill got to the FT line I was absolutely sure he was gonna miss at least one.
Why did LeBron entrust the outcome to George Hill?
JR Smith will win Shaq and a fool of the century.
Lebron said he doesn't blame JR but you know he does because the only way he doesn't is that part of memory is erased.
He should have slapped the soul out of JR right there on the court.
He doesn't blame him. He gonna hold him responsible. That's how you lead.
JR Smith actually saved the blame going to George hill. If he made is free throws, then the Cavs could've won. JR Smith picking up the rebound, was better than the warriors doing so and calling timeout.
WilddogAB yeah he didn't use that rebound very good in critical moments like this

Cleveland had the refs help yet as till lost. Lol
maniac9565 keep crying bronsexual😭😭😭. Ya the refs also made hill a free throw, made jr run to 3pt line thinking it’s street ball and also made lebron go 0-4 in OT. Lechoke choked when it counted😂😂😂
😂😂
So the Cavs shoot two more free throws but the refs are helping GS? If anything the refs want the Cavs to win. The NBA is desperate for this series to go 6-7 and not be a sweep.
It is definitely not all on JR Smith. I mean the refs definitely played their part in handing this victory to the Warriors.
Came back to see Skip contradict himself after Kevin Durant couldn't close the deal in the 2nd round against a non-superteam Bucks
I love how skip has more sympathy for kd against giannis, then LeBron against a superteam WITH KD
@@jusa9022 the biggest hypocrite in sports
😂😂😂
Seahawks should have ran the ball
Gawdlike you damn ryt still will b the greatest blunder in super bowl history what was wilson thinking......have no idea
JR tried to run the ball
Seahawks should've run, Cam should've dove, JR should've shot.
Gawdlike lmao best comment every time I see it 💯🤣
Hahaha #neverforget
Ty Lue has to eat that L too. He could’ve taken a timeout. As a coach, you’re supposed to be as aware, if not more aware than the players.
1. George hill, an 80% free throw shooter bricked a game winning free throw
2. Refs obviously had an agenda in the last 2 mins in the game
3. JR Smith with the worst play of his career
At this point, I'm honestly ready to go to Rodney hood and tell him that if he can just knock down shots and play some type of defense, he can start
ReezyBeBreezy exactly what i was thinking
Or start Jordan Clarkson and have Rodney control and run the back court and only put JR in during garbage time.
ReezyBeBreezy 2 names KYLE KORVER
Dumont Williams Korver is a knockdown shooter, but gets exposed on defense too much imo. Hood is 6’7” and has the tools to be a positive factor if he just focuses hard enough
skip...come on bro...you really gonna find something to blame lebron for? He made the right basketball play, it was a layup...he got pulled back..that was a much easier shot than trying to shoot over someone...skip is straight crazy..his hate has no bounds!
Could not agree more tameone
You’re right, but to be fair, with how reliable these Cavs have been I’m more confident in a contested 3 from bron then a slightly guarded layup for the rest of the team
I knew he was gunna do that
tameone How do you think skip became famous? He loves Lebron... Just an act.
Refs in 4
+Jason Corley why would the refs help the favored team which every1 has sweeping. Wouldn't they help the cavs to extend the series to make more $$$
lol it's Refs in 7, you know what they tryna do lol
Jason Corley good one
Fix is in. 34 stiff from golden girls taking a shot at the end of game, bush league, point spread, etc.
rebelsoundz Idk ask them
In the last few minutes of the 4th, the refs missed so many calls for the Cavs and the ones they did call for the Warriors were very questionable, some were downright bad calls.
When the refs are basically keeping the warriors in the game, there's no way the Cavs could gain any momentum, especially when they're the home team. Also, noting that the refs called a flagrant 2 on Tristan that could possibly suspend him for 1 game, with only *2.6 seconds left in the game!*
This is the NBA Finals, officials can't be making these type of mistakes in a game of this magnitude. Because of stuff like this, people are going to start calling the NBA rigged, because we know how much the NBA loves dynasties.
James Burgess Like the overturned foul call on Lebron late in the game? That was definitely an offensive foul in my opinion.
James Burgess warriors are trash without the refs
James Burgess
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 bronsexual how the refs are helping the warriors keep in the game?? You realy think cavs have a chance against golden state??
It is rigged.. This is the TOP basketball league in the world and its the finals, and somehow refs in our small bario league officiate better than those 3 well paid cooks.
I agree , they were so off they looked fixed .
Lebron cant win because if jr smith makes the layup skip is going to be like Jr smith saved lebrons legacy.
I blame Henny
NUK very original champ
Marcus Williams vs the Vikings, Tom Brady dropping the catch, Karius in the Champions League final and JR Smith now, what a year for sports
Nick Foles Fan Club Brady not catching it wasn't even that bad. The fumble was
Had trouble sleeping last night man. Lol
Felt for my guy LeBron after putting on such a show... not to bring division but, now i think i see how Kyrie felt after making the finals winning three for the lead and then LeBron and his block got allllllll the praise...
kinda crazy how it turned like that :/
Jay Kelz same man, it took me awhile to fall asleep, I felt convicted for LeBron. Lmao
There were people who thought Kyrie deserved Finals MVP for that shot. He got praise even LeBron praised up Kyrie during the celebration, Kyrie just wanted to be the no.1 man
Jay Kelz dude cos bron is the best. i’m thankful for Ky and many thought he deserved finals MVP(i don’t think so). But he was great in that series. LeBron praised him as a god also bro don’t forget that. LeBron will always praise his teammates if the media won’t. He’s that GUY.
Dereck Henson no. LeBron left him under a bus when a trade was on the table for PG-13 and Bledsoe for Kyrie. LeBron said do it and Kyrie found out and felt disrespected, obviously. That's when he asked for a trade. This has been widely reported on. Kyrie probably did want to be no.1 but he wasnt about to leave, LeBron pushed him.
286mic that might have been part of it but kyrie himself said he wanted to be the guy
One thing to take from this game is that Cavs were a 13 point underdog. 13.
Hugo Canizales and they lost by 10 at the end so the odds were kinda right
Jared Hutchins easily? Bron going for 51 and damn near doing everything is easy? lol
It was a combination of the refs, Hill and Jr. That cost the cavs that game
KingMickD my thoughts exactly smh 🤦🏽♂️😐
The refs was against the Cavs it looks like
The lost the game in OT. Lebron was 0-4.
flyofchange the game shouldnt hage even went to oveetime once it did anf the way things happened the Cavs were demoralized.
I'm just glad that someone said GEORGE HILL MISSING THE FREE THROW... especially being 85 percent and for the lead
It was a goat like performance, Jordan did something similar to phoenix in 93 averaged 40 plus on 56% Bron is amazing right now.
People are forgetting how Green is such a dirty player purposely throwing a hand in Lebron's face and stabbing his eye.
Damn, 3 years later and green did the same move in the play in tournament but as usual everyone says lebron flops even though you could literally see him be poked in the eye
@@edwinyounes4934 facts 😭😭😭
2020 been something else you wouldn't believe the praises JR is getting now he is now the savior.
Legend has it J.R. Smith is still dribbling that basketball.
9:39 The way Shannon and Broussard were in sync 😂😂😂
I always look forward for Chris Broussard's take on these matters. He always has the most balanced and calm analysis out there.
Everyone is blowing their top over that bum officiating and JR's blunder and evreything but he puts eveything in a better perspective.
Lets just be honest refs helped warriors win it's that simple
Jayy they shot the free throws for Hill and made JR Smith not know the score???
Anthony Rhodes no but they did callback a charging call in favor of the warriors that would help change the momentum of the game :)
Which Broussard just said was the right call. Broussard is pretty good at his job.
I agree
Montage326 it really could've went either way
watch the replay skip, Curry is directly on James while Draymond is eyeing lebron just about to help, hence the reason Hill was so open. Do your Homework first
Nobody talking about how crystal clear this footage is
You could see in Hill’s face that he was going to miss the second free throw: he was terrified.
Refs more loyal to the warriors than kd is
Tyrone Lue should have called an immediate time out. He was too caught up the moment and for JR he was loss in the moment. Hill has never been in do or die spot before so we can't fully blame him.
I used to think people were crazy when they said the nba is rigged... now I’m convinced. Smh
Why didnt tyron lue call timeout ?? Theres always a ref next to the coach for plays like this !! I know lebrons called was missed for no reason but really ??? No one but lebron knew what was going on ? Thats sad af. Hard to get back from that loss.
YMX Official He was trying starting at 1.7 secs they ignored him...
Refs 1-0
Kevin Caro dont get this argument why would the refs help the favored team which every1 has sweeping. Wouldn't they help the cavs to extend the series to make more $$$
Omega Baby Jesus i would think the same but the ways the officiating was yesterday, the refs gave the game to gs
Omega Baby Jesus exactly they jus making excuses
Kevin Caro that's Huston feel
Kevin Caro it was a block
Skip has been wrong all day in all conversations
Chris Broussard as always being the sound of reason on this show
JR SMITH SAVED KEVIN DURANTS LEGACY!
JR : Just -Run
Great segment. Broussard is most sensible guy in tv sports commentary.
George Hill is so happy JR messed up. He should have MADE the second free throw.
REFS COST CAVS THE GAME
Lmao nah hill and jr smith did. Enough with refs excuse when your fuken team stinks. Did refs also make lechoke go 0-4 in OT?😂😂
Gagan Dhaliwal no one even played in ot they were still stuck in that play it was a momentum changer
H B nope.. The Cavs lost the game in OT
Lechoke pouting in OT is what cost them the game. 0-4 in OT with 0 assists, 0 rebounds, and 0 blocks...
Every call went the Warriors way
i tried to y'all the NBA was rigged, but nobody didn't wanna listen. I hate LeBron James guts, but to rob that man of a game one victory the way they(refs) did is terrible... As for J.R. Smith, he had a classic Chris Webber moment... Michigan moment... 😱😱😱
why would the refs help the favored team which every1 has sweeping. Wouldn't they help the cavs to extend the series to make more $$$
caponeike 100% my man, 4 horrible calls in the last 3 minutes of the game that were so obviously favorited to golden state, the corruption is unreal.. a very sad day for Lebron and Cleavland because they deserved the win.
Massimo Van Hees that’s stupid. Why would warriors want to help warriors when it would benefit the league more if cavs won and extended the finals????
rebelsoundz they will make the warriors look unbeatable so that the they can trap the betters. Warriors will go up 2-0. Cavs will win in 6 or maybe 7.
Rob him how? Like how he was gifted calls against the Pacers and Boston, now those guys got robbed with all those bad calls.
J.R was like "Wait.... Where Ray Allen at for the 3??"
George Hill looked shooked
Been waiting all day for this!
LeBron vs Warriors/Refs/Cavs
George hill looked like a high school player at the FT line
4:33 Broussard with the sneak diss on Javale. "And thats saying something!"
The refs stole this game from Cleveland.
Yeah we all think what LeBron was thinking, more than 20 million people watching I will slap JR right there
Everyone saying the game was rigged were the same people who claimed they were not going to watch the finals
Here when KD put up a similar performance (0/6 in OT) and Skip was defending him but not LeBron. Skip is a certified bum
Refs and JR
Definitely disappointed with last nights game and it robbed me some joy! But I guess that's life.
LeBron passing it up is still shocking until now, we all know he needs a Kyrie or wade
Skip Bayless made all the sense in the world on this one folks.
Bruh I'm done with these Jordan worshippers! IM DONE! Every SINGLE TIME, the ONLY ARGUMENT IS "Lebron isn't clutch, he isn't mj".
GUESS WHAT? HE AINT MJ, HES LEBRON RAMONE JAMES, ONE OF A KIND BASKETBALL SAVANT.
He doesn't play HERO BALL. He's the ULTIMATE TEAM PLAYER. And even last night he was clutch all night long, keeping the cavs in reach the entire game. It's not even about just just scoring 50, it's about how EFFICIENT he was. Yeah Jordan scored 55, but did he do that against a team like Gsw?? And did he shoot 60%?? NO. Keep your Jordan worship to yourself. WE WATCHING LEBRON JAMES, THE GREATEST OF THIS GENERATION AND POSSIBLY THE GREATEST ALL TIME.
MJ dropped 55 against one of the worst defensive displays in the finals. Luckily, its on youtube for people to watch that Game 4 but I bet people won't haha
TrillTandon Calm down my guy , No need to get in your feelings Lol
Loooool awwwwwwwww so cute..lebron dropped 50 against gsw and guess what mj still the goattttt
TrillTandon yeah how did GSW play defensively last night? Pretty poorly if you ask me for their amazing standards. Not taking anything away from LeBron, he was sensational and put on an all time great performance, but Jordan scored 63 on the all time great celtics when he was 22-23 years of age. As well as shooting 54% from the field and 38 of his 41 shots were contested.
TrillTandon Idiot
I don't think Jordan ever had to play a perfect game for the Bulls to be champs.
Jordan had to have 4 straight 40+pts games, including a 55 pt game, against the 1993 Suns. He had to have a 35 point first half against the Blazers in 1992. He had to have a 13 consecutive field goals' performance (overall 15/18), against the Lakers in game 2, 1991, whilst dishing out 13 assists. Thats a small sample of perfection. All of that, from the shooting guard position, whilst playing intense defense against Drexler, Magic, Kevin Johnson etc and comitting very few turnovers. Pretty much the whole first three peat was Jordan playing beyond perfect all throughout the playoffs.
Scoring big, with no defense and a shitload of turnovers aint perfect.
Out of prime magic, Drexler not known as a great defender kevin Johnson ain't 6'4
Bulls were expected to win each matchup. Two different circumstances. Only the 80s 76ers with two prime mvps could be comapres to these warriors, even then that's a bad comparison.
And LeBron has as perfect a game as possible and the Cavaliers lose.
Magic was 31 and MVP the previous year. Dan Majerle, 2 time all defensive, 6,6, bulky, fast, athletic was Jordan primary defender. They switched on to Johnson in hopes of him being able to stay in front of Jordan and avoid him gettting to the paint. It didnt matter, Jordan would take on a shorther, monsterly athletic player like KJ off the driblle, like he wasnt even there. Jordan had already torched the best defense in the league in Knicks for 54 out of Chicagos' 104, more than 50% that is, hitting a single lay up and 17 heavily contested jumpers. Again, the Knicks started 6,6 monsterly athletic Gerald Wilkins on MJ, to switch on 1993 all defensive John Starks in hopes of limiting MJ's drives. Which happened, but it didnt matter anyway cause MJ put up the single best midrange shooting performance in playoff history.
All of that is besides the point though. Jordan had to be beyond perfect for Bulls to three peat and he certifiably he was not just beyond perfect, but beyond anything imaginable. Oh, and he was a 6.6 shooting guard by the way. Plus he was a ferocious defender silmutaneously either shutting down prime Clyde Drexler or picking up a much bigger guy in Magic Johnson all the way from 3/4 for more than half the series or forcing an extremely explosive and fast John Starks in to 6 and 8 turnovers etc.
Skip is wrong about MJ saying "You will make that shot." It was Kerr who said if they double MJ, pass it to him, and "I'll make the shot." Kerr called it before the play.
Blame the coaching staff, for not discussing the situation. So they're all to blame.
The refs handed the game to warriors
These bandwagon warriors fans where were you when Baron Davis was your point guard 😂😂😂 Lebron just killed your team like he does everytime, just to bad for him he doesn’t have another MVP and 2 other all stars helping him out
It's 2022 and I still can't believe this happened
"JR tried to pass to Kryie." - DJ Skandalous
Thank You Chris! George Hill needs that second FT to possibly win the game - why is everyone overlooking that go ahead point?!
So Lebron not taking advantage of the mismatch everytime when Steph was guarding him late in the 4th is just gonna get swept under the rug smh...
sqeze1st he literally got triple teamed when he went into the paint when steph was on him
You obviously didn't watch the game or weren't paying attention
sqeze1st did watch the game and saw everytime lebron went into the lane with steph on him he got triple teamed so stop with that bs
Did you see Draymond staring at lebron right behind Steph. That’s called a double team hence the reason why George Hill was open for the foul.
He scored 51 points, was that not enough?
Teams run the switch all the time in the NBA, it's nothing special about the match up. And if you're lebron, you want bigs guarding you, not guards, because guards are quicker on their feet, especially this GSW team. Their weakness is their subpar bigs (looney and bell), which they rarely guarded LeBron in any iso situation.
Lmao the way this clip ended has me rolling
“That was a GOAT like performance”
Skip without hesitation: “0 for 4 in OT???”
lol at the end when chris said that was a goat like performance, shannon immediately makes a face and looks at skip.
Joy is low key an even bigger LeHater than Kristine and Skieeup
If I was dating Earl Watson I'd be salty too. Before she tries to shade lebron or Shannon she need to remember Shannon hall of famer & lebron is one of the greatest players ever. Her man season high was 10pts. Then on top of that dude got 2 kids with 2 different baby mamas. That's an L.
She's also Jayson Taylor's sister and Jayson was great! He's a hall of famer too.
I know all that. But it kills me that she disses Shannon a lot & takes up for skip. When I know how she used to bash skip back in Miami. I know she don't like skip but he signs her checks so I see why she kisses up to him. He may find her old tweets about him. Lol I just know she better than that & she play the mutual field.
