He still averaged like 30 and almost a triple double....how is that sub Lebron? Idk man.

Watching those games, the only reason he didn't have beefier numbers, was because for some inexplicable reason he didn't pull up over Curry like every time he got him one on one (which was all the fucking time). I mean seriously, the amount of times he back down Curry, only to kick it out to someone as soon as another defender took like one step towards him.….I couldn't believe it, frankly. He could have feasted on that all day.

Steph is a better defender than he is given credit for and he's tougher than he looks. Plus, it certainly helps having a Defensive Player of the Year (Draymond Green), 2 lockdown on-ball defenders (Klay Thompson and Andre Iguodala), and a 7 foot tall all-time great player with very long arms (Kevin Durant) backing you up. It was essentially 1 on 5, with someone always ready to rotate and help Steph by either contesting the shot and making it very difficult for LeBron to score in the paint or force him to kick it back out to a shooter and close out just in time.

1 on 5!? You gotta be joking. Love Smith Hood all played less than 30m and got more than 10 points. LeBron played over 40 minutes and scored 23. Love also got more rebounds.
