Bunch of great guys on that Toronto team. Happy for that group.
KL has been my favorite player to watch the last 5-6 years,
I view choking as pressure busting pipes, I’ve never seen that look in dudes eyes. He’s a guy who shoots , shoots a lot, and majority are bad shots. That’s what makes his statistics so amazing.
Two of his misses tonight were three quarter court launches ( most nba players won’t do that , hurts stats ).
Then mix in running non stop off of screens the entire series , while having 2-3 guys bumping , grabbing or stepping out.like I’ve akways said , he’s either going to miss it, or make the shot. There’s nothing you can do.
He’s the main reason they make this run every year ,while depending on those bad shots.
He was playing 44 + minutes with then entire d geared toward stopping him beens kt was the only legit scorer left. They were literally trying to steal rest , and on top of that being a shooter who’s entire game is launching using nothing but legs.
Imo he’s been on fumes for a few games.
I view a choke what Lbj did against the mavs , completely shrinking , while not even wanting to take a shot because he’s afraid of the moment. Hence why they put barea on him in second half.
I just know him and gsw has huge haters and won’t respect the greatness , and how insanely difficult what he does at that size , athletic ability. While depending on all skill.
But I get today’s fan , if it’s not 50 % shooting and a triple double “you choked”. KL had some bad fg percentage games, but unlike gsw he has a bunch of guys go off in this series , sometimes 6-7 guys going for double figures. But they won , nobody will remember that.
Honestly I’m amazed they keep making these runs depending on god awful shots from thirty feet , but oh well. I get it.
He’s a huge choker. I mean he went one game in a row without hitting multiple clutch shots.
