He had 30 points for the game. He had 7 points in the 4th. That's pretty much on par for his game average. And he had 4 points in the 1st, so it was hardly his worst shooting quarter. This is also his best Finals performance by quite a large margin, and it's just Game 1.
For comparison's sake, he averaged 2 points in the 4th during the last Finals series, where he legitimately choked. And you're seriously arguing that a statline of 30/9/4 is returning to "that guy." Who is "that guy"? The reigning MVP?
I just really don't understand some people. Why post about sports when you clearly have no clue how to analyze sports? It just leads to embarrassment.
No, the guy PETRIFIED to touch the ball in crunch time in the fourth, ou know, the guy who stood behind the 3 point line and did not move 1 single inch during the last 2 (relevant) possessions. What did he have during meaningful minutes of the fourth quarter? 2, maybe 4. On 2 for 6 shooting and utter fear to take the ball. That guy.
