LeBron has shown absolutely no aggression to score throughout his whole series. He has an advantage on mostly anyone guarding him yet all he does is dribble pass or take a weak ass jumper.
Fuck the assists and all the MVP awards. Where are those numbers when it's actually important? Like someone that I can't recall said during the game by LeBron being more aggressive that will open up his team mates. He can't be thinking pass first. You think Kobe cares that he won 1 MVP throughout his career? Hell no, he knows how good of a player he is compared to the people he plays against and he's got the rings to prove it.
BTW, I'll put on my flame suit in the morning when I get up for work at 4. So have fun arguing, and I can't wait to read your posts tomorrow morning.

I'm gonna step outside of my "fuck LeBron James" box and disagee with you here. Right now, the Spurs are playing against the Miami Cavaliers. With no one from Miami threatening to be a major problem for them, they can crowd the lane and wait for LeBron. The undisputed fact is that LeBron is as good as advertised, but even that is not good enough to beat a Popovich-coached team. Spoelstra is being soundly outcoached right now.
Players will carry you through the regular season and make you look great, but the coach is the one who is made in the playoffs.

Lots of dunks, dives and crazy shit from the Spurs. Leonard doing dirty work and for the team keeping LBJ under 20 points is definitely a plus for them. As long as they keep that up, Spurs have a good chance.
Great series. Should go the full 7 I think (and hope since after basketball season, there's not much else besides baseball).

This is a MAJOR departure from previous Spurs' championship runs. Historically, they've choked people out on defense, then pick-and-rolled them to death on offense. On the whole, THAT is boring-ass basketball. Funny, they have never faced a #1 seed in any of their championships, and wait until they actually see one to start jamming it down their throats, no homo (don't fine me Stern).
