    The Celtics were 7/39 for 3 pt shots. Those 2 attempts from Rozier near the end summed up their problem on the night.

      LBJ. Jesus what a playoff run. If he can beat the Western Conference finalist then i might change my GOAT vote.

        I have always been MJ but I am now starting to ask the "If LBJ was in that Bulls team would have they still won? Prolly Yes. If MJ was in this Cavs team, would they still have won? I just don't know"

          LBJ has never had a player like Pippen at the Cavs.

              @kiwimurph one of the major sticking points for Lebron sycophants is that Jordan never had to play anyone tough to get his rings.

              Lets all just remember that the Cavs were taken to 7 games by a rookie led Celtics..

                MJs Bulls had to play teams stacked with hall of fame players.

                Portland; Drexler Duckworth Williams Jersey
                Lakers; Magic and Showtime
                Phoenix; Charles, KJ, Majerle, Chambers, can't remember the rest but they were the best Suns team ever
                Seattle; the Glove, Rain man
                Utah; Stockton Malone Hornacek

                No scrubs there.

                Then again I'm not sure MJ ever had a supporting cast as bad as this current performing Cavs roster

                  I have never said that, and I'm not a LBJ sycophant either. My favourite player is neither of them. 😉

                  The NBA is very different now and I'll take the 1980s and 1990s over what we see today because there were great rivalries (Lakers vs Celtics, Bulls vs Pistons, Knicks vs Pacers, Rockets vs Knicks etc). My only point was to say that Pippen was a better no.2 than anyone LBJ has had at the Cavs. That doesn't diminish what MJ did.

                          The funny thing is that if the Celtics had Kyrie, I think they would’ve won. Kyrie is class and a future HoF’er. The Celts lacked the class to close it out when it was there for the taking.

                            Irving and Love are very good players but I don't see either of them in the revised 50 Greatest NBA players list. The skinny dude from Central Arkansas is.

                                        @mariner4life slight caveat. See game one is at 4-4 in the NHL. Super game!
