Well Cleveland outside of LeBron shot 70% against Toronto. I doubt they shoot that well against Boston, but Boston can win 1 or 2 games.

The Cavs shot exactly 50% outside of Lebron for the Raptors series. Lebron shot 55.34%.

I don't understand how miserable some people can be with regards to trying to discredit or put down someone who is clearly an all time great. What's the point? Do you really not acknowledge that the dude is great at the game of basketball?

The standard for a great player is how good is the player. Are you trying to ask him what the standard is for a great team, is that what you meant?


Are you insinuating that Lebron isn't great?

A team with three HOFs.


Lebron was in a prime super team that season - how the hell does everyone forget Wade and Bosh? And he was playing a washed up old team.

Pierce/Allen/Garnett were the only old guys on the team. Everybody else for the most part at that time were either in their mid 20s to early 30s.

Bill Simmons is already starting to slowly melt on Twitter. LeBron about to dominate.

2012 KG anchored an all-time great defense and had probably his best post-prime offensive postseason. So yeah, that guy.

2006 Gilbert Arenas. People forget how good that dude was for 3-4 years. They had some epic playoff duels.

They do, these sheep will expend all resources and mental gymnastics to preserve Michael Jordan's throne and the thing is, Michael Jordan has an incredibly strong and great GOAT argument, dude's a fricking legend for the ages but when you start attempting to minimize someone's status and accomplishments like a child, your argument and points become very unfairly prejudiced and flimsy and therefore are not as strong as they actually could be on their merits.

I fully expect the cavs to sweep Boston only to then get swept by GS.

People were talking about Boston losing the last two rounds, especially the last one a lot of people were buzzing about Philly. I don’t know how this series will shake down but I wouldn’t be too quick to count the Celtics out against Cleveland
