Why did Deuce pass the rock?

[Millennial_Messiah]

:lmao Pussy too scared to dribble away from the double and sink the game-winning pullup to the right side like a real alpha the way Kobe always did? :lmao Deuce

2/10 He had a solo 8-0 run to put the Raptors up. Shouldn't have passed but this loss ain't on Kawhi.

[Gibbz]

He shot 9/24 with 5 turnovers. Sure he had the stretch of brilliance that got spoiled by the Nick Nurse timeout, but Klay clamped the fuck out of him down the stretch. The pass to Van Vleet with time expiring and a chance to Chip was hilarious.

Would Jordan have passed?
Would Kobe have passed?

GOATs don't pass in that kind of legacy situation.

Like the bricked free throw which would have put the Spurs up 4 in Miami with the Heatles having only that last timeout left :lol

Jordan = GOAT
Kobe = GOAT
Nephew = goat... the kind that baaa-ahh-ahhs :lol

Should’ve tried to get a foul tbh. I don’t know if the refs would call but they just did on Cousins

You can’t be serious. Easy to poke holes in any player’s resume.

Kobe 6 of 24 and bailed out by Ron Artest.

Jordan 1-9 in playoffs without Pippen.

Ok, Chicago Jordan was a little before my time, I was a little kid. I only remember the rerun games on NBATV and do vividly remember watching him live when he'd lead a completely horrible Wizards roster to at least a respectable 9th seed two years in a row. Jordan before Pippen was really young and there were much better rosters out there in the East at the time (Celtics and Pistons, especially).

Kobe, on the other hand, was a whole different animal. His time (along with TD's) aligned directly with my childhood, and though I hated him because he was the Spurs' greatest nemesis and the Spurs would have won 10 rings if he didn't exist, he was an all-time legend who put the team on his back and took and made the big shot, never backing down from a big moment. He carried some godawful teams to the playoffs and was still arguably the most clutch late-game player of all time. Quitting against Phoenix in 2006 Game 7 was an eyesore but they were already down 20+ against a better roster and let's not act like Kobe didn't single-handedly carry the Lakers' much inferior roster to the 3-1 lead in the first place. They were starting fucking Luke Walton, Kwame Brown and Smush Parker for crying out loud :lol

[LakerHater]

once draymond came up to double, Gasol shoulda shot to the free throw!

Woulda left Lowery Wiiiide open under the hoop for the win!

[CapitalEmm]

Replace Lowry with Nando De Colo or some other scrub tier point guard and the Raps win today. Dude was awful and literally lost the game for them. No wonder him and DDR are friends.

[phxspurfan]

Was the right move. Lowry fucked up by getting blocked

You know you’ve asked a dumb question when Leonard laughs at you. :lol

wait did he have a pre written script when he attends these post match interviews? wondering what's that piece of paper that he was looking at...

It’s the stat sheet. Everyone always has one at the podium

He generally avoids eye contact like a disingenuous person would.

[John B]

Kawhi should’ve still forced them to play him. He’s been successful getting fouled. Why pass to Van Fleet. Kobe wouldn’t.
