I don't know if any of us would have predicted the current standings in the conference finals and which teams would be 3-2 up... Some great competitive back and forth games. The playoffs have been excellent viewing, compelling sporting contests - I'm loving it....

Crazy stuff from LeBron. Huge Game 7 in store now. Can he do that again after playing 46 minutes?! Celtics haven't lost at home yet this postseason

Goodnight Boston. Delighted. LeBron is probably the GoAT now.

A real pleasure to watch him - unreal

What a game! Go Cavs!

Carmen Stateside · May 28, 2018, 04:19:42 AM

That was some show from James. Superb entertainment !

He's something else.

Cavs will be cannon fodder for whoever wins the West.

I think this is the season that LeBron deserves the most kudos for. Fair fucks to him.

Greatest Of All Time.

I still can't go past Michael Jordan, because I saw him in his pomp and he was incredible. But I haven't seen nearly as much of James or Curry.

Same for me. LeBron is amazing though. Jordan will always be one of my heros though and I cannot see him being eclipsed by anyone.

I'd be inclined to agree. The roster he has is absolute dogshit. They made an absolute mess of the Irving trade and he's still dragged them to the finals.

Going to revise my earlier assertion that the finals are a foregone conclusion. If the Rockets win through and CP3 is out, Cavs have a chance.

Yeah I know what he means I just don't see how last nights game decides the debate, not that it can be decided in my opinion.

Yeah I don't give them much of a chance against GSW, but I think they do against Houston. Cavs 9/2 to win the finals

Oraisteach · May 28, 2018, 08:24:43 PM

Sadly, I fear that the Cavs will be devoured by either GSW or Hou, but then again, I never imagined that they'd win win the East with one player and four plastic cones (ie minus Love).
