The 10 Biggest NBA Finals Mistakes Ever Made That Potentially Cost The Team A Title

[@everythingin2544]

In 2018, it's not only JR blunder alone because there's a George Hill missed a free throw too. If he didn't miss, Cavs would be up by one and JR blunder would not be what for all of us to remember. Even though GSW might call time out and call the play for them to win.

[@AGW891]

Your logic isn’t really helping your case. They still had possession of the ball and could’ve simply called a timeout.

[@jay7949]

They were gonna lose in the grand scheme of things anyway

[@leclark5067]

Yea you right George Hill should've made the free throw

[@xDreMack]

Let's not shift the blame. LeBron should have taken that shot instead of Hill. MJ & Kobe would have never passed in that situation.

[@henrypope4225]

I’m surprised the phantom foul called on Bill Laimbeer in game 6 of the 1988 finals wasn’t on here. Pistons were up 3-2 and if they had held on to win the game it would’ve been the first ring in an eventual three-peat.

I think this video was more about player mistakes rather than ref ones

[@EWCMILK]

I appreciate the knowledge you bring out on your channel.

[@WilsonSy]

Thank you

[@pesky716]

I would argue this might be your best video yet. Really thorough and well explained.

[@WilsonSy]

Thank you

[@akidotaco]

Another great video Wilson. You should teach an NBA history class. I always learn something new with you.

[@leonjustleon]

Too true man

[@buenvidanadz1969]

I don't think the JR Smith blunder should even be an honorable mention because at best they would've won that 2 games at most, and that's being generous already. That didn't cost them a title, that only cost them a potential win over an inevitable series loss.

[@westbrick6393]

It's just one in a century type of mistake

[@petersonofleo11]

The thing that pissed me off of the JR Smith blunder was that he wasted one of the best Lebron finals performances ever. Lebron scored 49 points 7 rebounds and 8 assists and was 19 for 28 from the field before overtime.

[@slanderman3296]

In surprised Wilson doesn't have 200k plus subs. I've been a fan of his for years now. Love how he always sounds tired :)

[@futureDreamer4]

Pop not having Duncan on the floor.

[@moemoe-jb2fw]

Not really a mistake Duncan old this was the beginning of small ball

[@ramensobatv]

Everyone should just forget the 2006 championship. Mavs were robbed of their championship. Wade was given unnecessary free throws.

[@noahnajjar3075]

Lol

[@joshcampbell3641]

Nah dirk choked

[@ramensobatv]

@@joshcampbell3641 nah. Even wade admitted to the unnecessary FT's.

[@StatiCRjm]

Then we'd have to forget the 2015, 2019, 2013 championships as well. Stop making excuses.

[@joshcampbell3641]

@kokoy tv prove it cause you Capping😂😂😂 you must be a mavs fan dirk Choked came up small in 4th quarters just Like wade and lebron choked in 2011

[@Bluebirdfalling]

Awesome, Wilson. Thank you.

[@leonjustleon]

Best NBA channel on youtube 👍🏾

[@WilsonSy]

Thank you!

[@theinktician]

With all due respect to Wilt, even if he was in I don't feel like he wins the game for them. The Finals were a different breed for him compared to the regular season

[@jalen4945]

Lebron and Wade were dead wrong and I’m glad Dirk took it personal.

[@chrisuncleahmad789]

In regards to the 2016 Warriors going for the record: they didn’t lock up homecourt until they won their 70th game The Spurs were tailing them all season so they had no room to relax

[@doctajay376]

Quality content 👍.

[@WilsonSy]

Thank you

[@danielwilliams5139]

Stockton for 3 with a minute to go in Game 6 1998 Finals down 1 or 2 or ahead by 1, Terry Porter saying that they are going to the crib and not going back to Detroit but that was different maybe there are some can't find 1940s-1970s. But game changing shots in the Conference Finals or go ahead or buzzer beater or 10 mistakes a team made that cost them a trip to the Finals

[@johnnyconde2650]

Good stuff.

[@jrome1771]

I was rooting for the Heat on that series, was so happy they tied the series at 2-2. Then game 5 came, and I was so disgusted by the calls in game 5 that I have questioned myself if they are rigging the game. Even in game 3 where the Heat won, Mavs were called on so many shooting fouls. Game 4 as I recall is the only Heat win that was convincing. Games 5 and 6 were so blatant(25 FT for Wade and another 20+ in game 6) that so many things are going through my head. Do the league want to gift Shaq another ring to get ahead of Kobe? Do they want a big market team winning over a small market team? Do they want Wade to win because they want him to be the face or one of the faces of the NBA that will rival Lebron and Melo and Kobe who is a SG himself? As much as I see Dirk choked on that one, the preferentail treatment by the refs on Wade is hard to ignore.

[@micahkiyimba8641]

Draymond and Klay MUST show up or else GS have no chance tonight. Klay must score at least 25 Efficient pts and Draymond must get to 10 pts at least. Poole needs to gt to 15 and Wiggins must get 20...I am already factoring in 30+ pts for Curry. Kerr needs to adjust his Curry mins..right now he plays full 1st and 3rd Qtrs and misses 1st half of the 2nd and 4th Qtrs..I think Curry should be playing BOTH the 2nd and 4th Qtrs full. GS gotta win tonight..or else they are dead and buried

[@rasxiel2493]

xddddddddddddddddddddd

[@MoNehNeh17]

so curry should play 48 minutes?? or am i misreading that?

[@Hooch_is_crzy]

The pistons one is kind of wrong... Lindsey Hunter was a better on ball defender than Chauncey, that was a normal sub during the season.

[@MagicMike-rd8mz]

How can you forget about Patrick Ewing and the Knicks vs Houston Rockets . When he decied to finger roll the ball instead of dunk it I think that 94 or 95.

[@WilsonSy]

That was against the Pacers in 95 semis

[@jonjonbailey4314]

I hope Draymond don't F up dis Finals fa Da Bay. We West Coastin WEST Oakland 😎

[@jonjonbailey4314]

Dem calls n Bulls vs Jazz seems shady str8 up

[@JamesJohnson-ip2by]

Wilt should have just subbed his on ass back into the game and beat the shit outta of him after the game but he probably would have faced a lot of consequences being that it was 1969!!
