Yea clearly impossible. It’s not like games 1 and 3 were winnable in the end or anything.

It was either going to be KD if GS won or LeBron if Cleveland won.

MJ would have won at least 2....Game 1 he would not have quit in OT like Lebron did, and he would have shut down KD in game 3 and pulled that one out as well.

Lebron’s teammates in game 3:

69 pts

KD’s teammates in game 3:

67 pts

Impossible to win one with this roster though :-)

Imagine MJ letting the second best player on the court be the difference in a game 3 down 0-2 at home when his teammates scored more.

And running away from that guy in a critical possession.

If the game 3 performances were reversed, though, I think it's Curry. He wasn't missing in the first 2 games.

You dont honestly believe if roles were reserved KD would win with the Cavs

Bill Simmons once wrote about the “42 Club.” It pointed out how truly elite players averaged a total of pts, rebs and assists greater than 42 in the playoffs. Well, LeBron averaged 34, 9 & 9 this year - he just created the 52 Club. Hope he has a better supporting cast next year.

And in the only story that really matters tonight, the Lakers are rising...

Lebron does not have the balls to play in the West.

The Pelicans were able to get 1 on GS.

That’s not the point I’m trying to make here. I’m simply pointing out that game 3 doesn’t fit the narrative, therefor it’s not an excuse:

Houston or bust
