He literally did nothing in the third but settled for jumpers When they lost the whole lead

What more ca. He do?

He needs to go 50 and 20? Lord. They aren’t that good.

Quite possibly true. This summer there could be major movement of real talent. He may still have another run if he plays it right.


Absolutely not true. Lebron is the best player by a good margin still, I'm comfortable saying that he will be through the end of the decade. What is true, Lebron is leaving Cleveland, unless he is done trying to win titles. I mean what move could the Cavs make at this point, they have so overpayed players. Unless they can pull a miracle and get Leonard, I don't see Lebron staying. They need to move the Nets pick and Love for Leonard, or whatever it takes to keep Lebron.

I'm already expecting this. Sucks to be Kevin Love tbh. Kyrie smelled this from afar and bolted once he gets the opportunity.


Yeah LeBron was great but he had help offensively. They just suck defensively and gave up in the 4th.

I really disagree with this. (although he wasn't already top 3 with you? after 2016?) but this season has not been a good look for him. he's not playing against stacked super teams where it's so unfair, his team is shelling out millions for this team, he's had a hand in players like Kyrie leaving, and then turning the IT trade into peanuts.

he's playing a team which is not built with any superstars, it's using team ball and working hard, LeBron has often looked a lot this play-offs not that he just doesn't need his teammates help, but that he doesn't want their help. that's beginning to show in the way this team is expressing itself.


Celtics aint a bad team dude Look at that roster compare it to the cleveland one. I took boston to win the series. Lebron is the only baller on that team love has his games. It aint his fault his teammates are hot garbage majority of the time. Expect KORVER my man

I mean I knew it was possible I just considered it unlikely to make the finals. But to actually be here in this position wow

Always felt like what the Cavs did to the Raps was fool's gold. Toronto looked like paper mache.


tornoto was easily the worst team in the POs
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

I'm glad someone finally did it. Great moves by stevens I always thought that even if lebron is hot keep let omg him settle for jumpers and he did and lebron went cold.
