    Celtics rolling. Amazing that they have done all this without Hayward or Irving

      Cavs close to within 4 at the half. Hold the phone on the Cavs demise..... If the game is close I seem to recall LBJ plays for CLE

        JR Smith is just horrible. With a couple of vaguely competent teammates around him, Lebron would have won this series in 5. Instead he's surrounded by the Washington Generals and somehow they are still alive!

            @barbarian he's also playing against a team without their two biggest superstars....

                Lebron too good.

                Felt like Celtics lost it more than Cavs won it though - the young Celtics just went ice cold in the 4th - not surprising at all but a little bit of an anti-climax.

                  Yeah the inexperience caught up with the Celtics. But the play from Rozier, Morris and Smart was infuriating - Tatum and Horford were clearly the best two players out there, but they refused to give them the ball. Just kept bricking shot after shot. Madness.

                  Somehow Lebron survives. They will make docos about this season. Surely he can't do it again... surely!?!?!

                    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.

                                          @mimic I was about to mention Kyrie but you beat me to it.

                                          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.
