I can't believe it. I scheduled a vacation being almost sure than neither series would go the distance, and now it looks as if both very well may, and I will miss them. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Legendary LeBron in elimination games versus the Cs who are perfect at home this post-season.

Champs Warriors on the brink of elimination when almost nobody gave Houston a shot. Will GSW find and execute its team game or get lulled into playing and outwitted by the more ISO-centric style that Houston likes to play?

I'll read all about it... :cry:

Yeah, there is a big difference between being a front runner and playing with a top ten all time great team vs. carrying a bunch of scrubs on your back.

Stillwater wrote:Looking forward to ending Bostons home winning streak, I think the biggest game of these young celtics lives will be to much for them. Brown will probably still get his, doesn't play like a young player, but Tatum definitely showed his youth in game 6 and Horford was a non factor without Love to exploit.


I personally thought Aron Baynes should have seen more playing time to help with securing defensive rebounds (eliminate Cleveland second chance opportunities) and move down Horford to the 4 spot to avoid the ill-fated Thompson/Nance matchup. Scary Rozier should have also seen more minutes in the clutch, and the Celtics should not have switched so easily to allow LeBron James to get his preferred mismatch. Very Doof Casey-esque coaching from Odd Stevens tonight, no wonder Stevens praises that bum.

The Cavs did not impress me tonight. I was just more disappointed in the way the Celtics played. Really dumb basketball from Morris and Smart in the 2nd quarter did the Celtics in and Stevens was really bad coaching the team. Horford also decided not to show up in one of the biggest games in the season. Just strange time to suck for him. :crazy:

One day, at some point in time, Marcus Morris will no longer be a Celtic...and I'll be one of the happiest people in the world. He's not a Lebron stopper, can't finish at the rim (I"m not sure he has one dunk on the year) and is the biggest offense killer I've ever seen in my life. The bum turns the ball over a couple times every game and he never even passes the ball. /rant

Fun fact: Boston has scored 2 more points than the Cavs in this series. So if you take away Browns complete garbage time dunk in game 4, the teams are dead even

Love is not a great defender so that may have thrown a wrench in the Celtics offensive game plan. Larry Nance really crushed the Celtics small ball (Horford at centre) like a tin can in the fourth quarter. George Hill was also unusually aggressive on offense.

In terms of being the biggest offense killer, I'll see your Marcus Morris and raise you a Jordan Clarkson.

How do you miss LeBron wide open under the basket..

I always as though the cavs would have been more lethal had love or kyrie accepted the Ginobili role off the bench. Cavs aren't better off completely without love. If they could use him off the bench, that would work wonders.
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.

This series is exactly how Celtics/Wizards went last year. Neither team could win a road game to save their life. I don't like to bet against LeBron but I have seen nothing from his teammates to suggest they have a chance. Cavs are going to lose.

Lebron please don't leave Cleveland. I know the team ain't gonna win championships but I like watching you open a can of whoop aS on the raptors every playoffs and getting coaches fired and other stuff

One thing about Lebron and his great or bad games is that the other players due to attention get a free pass from criticism like Al Horford lol

All I know, son, is that it's clear to me that if Chris Paul doesn't go down, the Warriors would have lose that series. Now, they probably sneak into the finals on the back of another injured opponents star player. But GOAT team, my ass. Durant is a major reason the Warriors would have lost to Houston. They still might, but I doubt it. But Durant is not even close to Lebron when it comes to greatness. He's a frontrunner. Now, I don't blame him for heading to Oakland when he did. It was the easy way. Good for him. He got his ring and he might get another. But, I know Lebron James and KD is no Lebron James.
