Doug’s Four-Point Stance: LeBron’s greatness seen when it counts

LEBRON JAMES:

The fourth quarter James displayed is exactly why this human being could become the greatest player of all-time. The fact we had to wait through 23 quarters of the NBA Finals to see it is exactly why he isn’t the greatest player of all-time.

BOSH/WADE:

The Heat dominated the Spurs during times when Bosh/Wade were on the bench. San Antonio controlled the game while Bosh/Wade played. Hard to call them the Big 3 just because both played well in the OT.

GREGG POPOVICH:

I realize you’re a very smart man. I realize you know more about basketball than I do. I also realize Tony Parker didn’t play a good game. Those three facts notwithstanding, may I ask why you trusted Manu Ginobili over Parker at the end of the game?

D-BACKS:

MVPs end losing streaks with walk-off home runs. Five hits against a pitcher in his first start and one of the weakest bullpens in baseball is pathetic. Give Delgado and Goldschmidt a ton of credit but the offensive problems are real.
