Funny thing is, if Russ were to magically drag this team to the Finals and lose, Paulius would be giving him never ending praise. He wouldn't get any criticism whatsoever for losing in the finals, and at the same time he will criticize LeBron for losing in the Finals when their situations were...
LeBron James 50.1% FG% on 19.6 FGA/G and 4.1 3PA/G on 34.1% 3P%
Kobe Bryant 44.7% FG% on 19.5 FGA/G and 4.1 3PA/G on 32.9% 3P%
Kevin Durant 48.7 FG% on 18.9 FGA/G and 4.7 3PA/G on 38% 3P%
44.7% is still not that good
Lakers fans are always on their high horse about how great they are and how they'll always get the biggest star and now that they've sucked for several years they're happy with tanking and will suck for at least a few more years.
Not a good day in Laker Nation, gonna beat the Spurs and the Suns are gonna lose moving giving the the 3rd worst record in the league and only a 47% chance at keeping their pick
It's not even a ridiculous thing to say, the year he won it both Chris Paul and Kevin Garnett had a better case for MVP, the year everyone thinks he should have won he scored 35 on 27 shots and was a 7 seed. When else was he supposed to win MVP?
I'm an idiot.
I would, however, like some clarification on what "folding in the playoffs means".
Like if they lose to the Spurs in 6 in the second round does that mean they folded?
