It's just not a good one.

This is bad for a young Celtics team going to Game 7. Brad have done a great, great job on this Celtics team but talent still trumps coaching imo. Lebron and the Cavs has no business losing this series against this Kyrie and Hayward-less Celtics anyways. They're a freaking huge favorite before the series started.

huh? Didn't seem him **** the bed with the Hawks against the Cavs?


Yeah that’s different though because he and his team was outclassed, this is a game to go to the finals and he lays a massive choke job. By far his worst game as a Celtic at least

My Man he's been your best player in the playoffs, he'll turn up at home for sure.

It’s almost embarrassing how big the gap is between LeBron and whoever is the 2nd best player in the league. He has straight up mastered basketball.

true, but the cavs will win the series


I guess it comes down to: what does it mean to truly win a series? That's my perspective on all this


For a Conference Finals series, it means that you don't have to buy tickets to go to the Finals.

Boston employing the Pacers strategy which is smart, but when the Cavs get physical there seems to be a quick whistle. Really blatant when you look at all the contact LeBron took. They missed some fouls for Boston too, but damn that was bad.

I really can't be so upset as a Cs fan even if the team loses Sunday. Most of us would be lying if we anticipated this team making it to game 7 of the ECF. Let's enjoy it.

Actually it is. Go back a few pages and you will see a post that says "Boston doesn't even have a star on their team" to discredit how great LeBron played.

Like, if you don't like him, just log off after a game like this.

LeBron is amazing but I'm picking celtics in the last game at home. LeBron can have the same game he did tonight and still lose.

It's insane how good Lebron James is at basketball. We take it for granted because we're so used to it, but he's easily the 2nd greatest player of all time AT LEAST. And def in the conversation for GOAT with MJ at this point.

Hope the young people find a way to appreciate what they are seeing. This guy is one of if not the greatest to ever lace em up.

What a performance, hope his teammates bring that game with them for G7.

I don't expect to win the game. LeBron played 46 minutes and several players are banged up. Plus the role players have played like trash in Boston.

Nah this whole series has been about neither team being able to beat the other when not at home.

Boston has home court advantage which has been huge this series.


Yeah, but this forum shifts back and forth based on who won last. :lol:

Lebron and scrubs ain’t winning in Boston. Celtics have the clear talent edge outside of Lebron so idk what you’re talking about. Even if the cavs are favored doesn’t mean squat because everyone looks at Lebron but the roster isn’t good. The role players showed up well today for the Cavs but let’s see how they do on the road which they haven’t once showed up
