We can always trust Nick Wright to have it right in this debate, though. LeBron has been the GOAT since the 2016 Finals series ended with the 3-1 comeback and nothing is going to change that from this point forward.
They were down 3-1 to a healthy Warriors team, right?
He's won 2 titles with two hall-of-famers then beat an injury depleted/suspended Warriors team.

I thought that call was fair b/c he didn’t plant his feet. If he planted his feet, then you may have a valid point? Plus, I didn’t see any planting of the shoulder by the Raptor player (forgot who it was....it was Siakam okay memory refreshed now after watching the highlights) and so yeah those two factors make that call a good call.

Ugly game (the Raptors seem to have a way of turning games into defensive grindfests) but I think the right team ultimately won in the end. Kawhi carries them despite seeming to be hurt all game and the much maligned Gasol actually played really well too. [Reply]

Its about time man. We really needed him to step up. He was good today on all phases defense, offense etc. Hopefully he plays the same way in game 4.
Lots of guys stepped it up. Powell, Lowry, Siakam (aside from the missed free throws late in the game, overall he was really good) all were really good.
Thats how they have to beat Milwaukee by getting contributions from most of the team. They do that, and they have a good chance of winning this series. Game 4 is a must win. They win that game and the momentum swings in their direction. Its a series if the Raptors tie it up.
And Danny Green and Fred Vanvleet man....they’ve been terrible. Those guys gotta step up man. Especially Danny Green. Im kinda surprised he is playing this bad. I remember him with San Antonio he had some good, productive playoff seasons w/ them. Not the case w/ the Raptors man. We need him to step up and get his 3 ball going especially a sharp shooting team like Milwaukee. [Reply]

The decision to drop the ball back on the fast break to Middleton when he was surrounded by three Raptors near the end of regulation. [Reply]

Ah, yeah that made no sense. Middleton's decision to try that shot making no sense either. The only Bucks players who played well were Brogden and Hill. [Reply]

Well Gasol has kind of anchored the team's great defense all playoffs. He's a great defender. He does need to hit his open shots (which the Bucks will give up), though, and he did that yesterday. [Reply]
