If Michael Jordan had the likes of JR Smith instead of Steve Kerr as some of his teammates to rely upon, he wouldn't have 6 rings.
Tonight was a prime example why the LeBron naysayers comparison's to MJ or Kobe are way off base. The guy played about as well as a player can play -- almost had a triple double while scoring a highly efficient 50+ -- and still lost because his supporting cast can't make uncontested shots or plays.
How many uncontested, open shots did LeBron create for his teammates tonight? Yet they still shot under 45%, including and 27% from three.
George Hill can't hit a lead changing FT and JR Smith has zero excuse for not knowing the situation after securing the offensive rebound.
The stage was set for the upset tonight and LeBron's teammates let him down. There's not much more the guy could have done tonight sans forcibly take the ball from his teammates the last 5 seconds of regulation ala the Teen Wolf and hitting the FT or calling the TO himself.
A W tonight could have made this an interesting series rather than the expected 4-5 games and out.
Nice job guys!
