    The more I "witness" these playoffs, the more I believe this dude wants to leave The Land with a title this June.

    2 in Miami
    2 in Cleveland
    2 in LA?

    16 vs 17 becomes 18 vs 17...

    LMAO.

    It really did, dude player all 48. He also continued to play his usual game and didn’t start jacking up shots and his teammates started hitting the threes. That opened things up and he started finding guys on the break, it was really an incrdible performance. I don’t like him, but I love basketball, and that was good basketball from him. Mark Jackson at one point in the 3rd kept calling for LeBron to take over with scoring, saying “if this was Michael Jordan he wouldn’t go down deferring to the Pips”, but that’s now how LeBron plays. He continues to play his game and either win in the end and get all the credit or go down with the ship and THEN blame his teammates later on.

    1st ... time ... ever. I was rooting for the guy. Incredible job carrying this squad into the finals and especially this squad in game 7 without Love even with the way everyone was playing except Green and him in the 1st half.

    Wasn't even a big head all about himself while interviewing with Doris on the court. If he and PG come and somehow Rob can pull off retaining the core lineup in my sig .... look the hell out league we're back in the hunt. Really hope we can keep Lopez to have a talented true big man. Dump Deng with picks and Zubac and Magic's gold sparkle dust.

    LeBron...I'm not sure how he dragged this sorry squad to the Finals, but he just won a Game 7 on the road with JR Smith as his second best player.

    It reminds me a bit of the '15 finals though they lost in 6, LBJ threw a terrible team on his back. No Love, no Kyrie. Kyrie played in most of the first game before going down for the series but the Cavs lost that one anyways. The 2 wins were LBJ. His 2nd best guy was Mozgov (really) who played well enough to get some idiotic FO to pay him that summer. Other notable teammates were Thompson, JR and Dellavedova. That's your top 5 in the rotation right there. Take LBJ out of that squad. Wow. For a couple of games Bron seemed to beat GSW single-handedly. I really don't know who else could have done that with that team vs GSW.

    2 more seasons of Love's toxic contract. That situation has long grown tired. No flippin' way LBJ stays.

    Looking at GSW... and even Houston, im fairly sure that Bron and PG (with our young guys and Lopez) is more than enough to take us to the finals.

    Lebron played great but are we forgetting he's playing Al horford and a bunch of rookies/sophomore/role type players? I get it, C Bags have some really nice
    young talent, but people are acting like he just beat the 87 lakers. This shouldn't have even gone 7 in the first place. C Bags don't have a closer or go to
    guy. Its a miracle they made it this far. Im more impressed with the C Bags than lebron.

    Acting like he beat the 87 Lakers? Come on now. Just because LBJ is getting high praise doesn't mean that the people praising him are clueless blind fans. His support is pretty sad. That was no playoff worthy team in this last game backing him, uh uh. Love was the only other player scoring double digit points in the playoffs in this series and he was out in game 7. He averaged a whopping 12 pts anyways so, big deal. Love is an upper tier role player anyways. 6th man of the year ceiling if he wasn't always getting injured. And he's #2. LBJ had a couple of good role players. Green had a decent game but who was killing it? C-Bags aren't star heavy either but they destroyed a team full of young stars in route to the conference finals. They are not a team for the ages, no. or yet. By saying it shouldn't have taken 7 games I think you are actually are putting a hell of a lot of stock in LBJ because who else was getting it done? If anyone was going to finish the C-Bags off earlier it was him. And stars or not, Celts were clicking. The '04 Pistons didn't have super stars either and they beat the hell out of the theory that you had to have them. A 33-year-old man has no business winning the conference finals with team ranging from low tier role players to a couple decent role players.

    Can’t I be equally impressed? There’s no way Boston should have gotten to the conference finals without Irving (and Hayward missing the entire year), and there’s no way Cleveland should have reached the Finals with this crappy roster. Boston could have lost in round 1, but they were unbeatable at home. Cleveland should have lost to Toronto, but they were their usual fraud selves. This was easily LeBron’s most impressive run to the Finals in his 2nd Cleveland stint, regardless of opponent, because his team is made up of spare parts.
