Took him 15 years, but people call him the GOAT. :roll:

:roll: All this means is that he has a really **** roster. Not a single player scoring more than 20 even once in seven games? But sure interpret the info as it fits your needs.

No need to get upset, I'm sure it was meant to be a joke.

I'm not upset per se, I didn't mean for it to come across like that. I'm just tired of people constantly trying to find an angle to bash this guy when really we're lucky to get to watch one of arguably the two best players to ever play the game.
Tired of today's time being some of constantly trying to find and point out all things negative. /rant

Sorry :beer:

The question I would have is how often has that happened? Where a team won a series and no one else other than one guy on that team scored more than 20? And it's not like he doesn't get a lot of assists. He averaged over 34, 10, 7.7, 1.4 and 1.

Sure, it can be a bit tiring, I agree. But I think Zero was being sarcastic and was just joking. I don't think they really believe that having a roster incapable of contributing at least one 20 point game in a playoff series is really something Lebron has any control over.

That was the series right there. Raptors needed that confidence.

Cavs will either sweep or win in 5.

Raptors choked big time!

Both teams choked in regulation but Cavs game through with some great shots in the OT. Lebron say for only 6min in an OT game lol the guy is a machine

This was the first game his teammates stepped up. He had a bad shooting game but Korver, Smith , Green, and TT stepped up

Yeah they were huge in the win. Van Fleet also had two wide opened 3's he could've drilled but clunked both of them

Raptors will lose this in 5 IMO.... hopefully I'm wrong... but they are mentally soft... they may be the better team but they will lose the mind games and get beaten by a more desperate team... Soft as butter

I love em. We aren’t competing. F the league. Everyone talked about the Suns because we couldn’t beat the prime Spurs. We had a cheating ref and injuries but people never gave us any credit because at the end of the day we lost. So let the other teams feel good about themselves and ultimately get driven by GS. Lol! When they break-up or down maybe we will have something in place by then. Don’t need anymore fan bases getting full of themselves to talk about us.

As long as I can say, it aint about beating the Suns, beat GS or STFU because your team ain’t designed for a championship so who cares?

Remember when we use to hear, “so, they won’t beat the Spurs.” And people dismiss Amare Nash Marion as a novelty.

Yes I was joking. Looks like Warriors/Rockets will be the real finals this year. Even if Bron takes his team to the finals they aren't getting past either one of those teams.

At double, maybe triple Len's potential salary?
