The inverse is what I am getting from KD in these post-game interviews, ust slouches his shoulders and vibing a fake humility atmosphere.

When Lebron is on like he was tonight with that killer instinct, there is just something that is enthralling. Curry shimmies, Durant posts under fake handles on Twitter. Lebron will eat your **** face off.

Whether the Cavs or Celtics come out of the East and the Rockets are supposedly the easier route for the Cavs or Celtics to play than the Warriors than I rather see the Warriors make the NBA finals. So whether its the Cavs or Celtics in the NBA finals get it done the harder route against the Warriors instead of the easier route vs the Rockets.

If your the Cavs or Celtics you want the easier route to get the NBA championship but someone that is neutral to both teams, I rather see the Cavs or Celtics get it done the harder route vs the Warriors.

That’s why his nickname isn’t a dumb joke. They been calling him that since he was just a kid. Like naming your child Champ and having them win a super bowl. Just mind numbing how far beyond he has succeeded his ridiculous expectations.

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


And with that, Morris will score 20+ points on 5-6 shooting or some **** in Game 7. :lol:

Boston has a good team even without their best player. Philadelphia also had a winning record against the West which is pretty good considering that none of the teams you listed are there. Toronto fired its coach after winning 59 games this season (including 19-11 against the west), specifically because his team couldn't beat LeBron.

This is silliness and I think even you know that. I hope you do.

Nobody cares about the regular season.....Sac, Atl, Brooklyn, Lakers beat the Cavs...SA bounced em twice w/out Kawhi...not sure of your point


You said the East must be bad because they can't beat LeBron and his substandard teammates. Yet the East teams in question did just fine against the west so they obviously aren't that bad. I didn't think it was that hard to understand.

It is the same tired old tautology of "LeBron isn't that good because he doesn't beat good teams, and I know they're not good teams because he beat them". It's just nonsense.

I didnt say that....somebody wrote LB is carrying a bunch of scrubs so I said if thats true how bad is the East

gtfo.. you're acting like he seeked him out.. tatum just happened to be in the way


He was screaming and bumped him with his chest. That’s taunting. Protected species.


It's been this way since he entered the League. What an idiot.

As for the GOAT claims... when you are able to push with your off arm on every drive, barrel into defenders and take 4 steps whenever you want, you look better than you really are. LeBron is a great player, almost a top 5 all-time, but he's not on Bird-Magic level, and Kareem, Wilt and Bill Russell are light years away.

That said, congrats Cavs fans, on to a great game 7.

Even if the Celtics win game 7 they will get smoked in the finals. They can’t win on the road and they won’t have HCA in the finals.

I like our chances in a game 7 at home and Kevin Love out.
