Did you just say Steph Curry is better than LeBron James?

I think this thread is done...

Tatum is gonna be special. I compared him early to Tobias Harris, but his ceiling is clearly much higher.

Cleveland wins the right to get crushed in the Finals. Congrats haha

I wouldn’t say MAYBE top 5. That’s crazy. He’s up there with greats.

The first one isn't part of the streak, but who's reading?

I can't stand that guy.

Celtics has their chance to rout Cleveland in the first half. Let LeBron hang around you know how it’s going to end

It's just a losing proposition year in and year out betting against him in that conference.

Agreed

The East is so weak its a joke

This game looked more like a bad regular season game than a playoff game

Compared to the West series this looked like high school game

[BostonNut]

LMAO...LeBron is collapsed on the floor while his team is huddled around the trophy....

Baseball players stand around all game and pick their crotches. A bit different

Would they have shot that horrendously against Toronto? Methinks not. The game is just as much about psychology as it is physical gifts.

Pretty much. They struggled hard with the pacers and the Celtics without their top two players. Get the GOAT talk in tonight everybody. Expiration date is coming soon

The coach who subbed out Jaylen Brown for Terry Rozier with 2:34 left and down 4. That was the worst possible “play” of the game. Almost as bad as Casey sitting DeRozan for the 4th.

[pgisback]

Imagine if Cleveland wins the Finals. What would Lebron haters do? Talk about Dallas again?

[IamRalpho]

Celtics offense just ran out of gas. Unreal how bad Rozier and Brown were tonight.

Lebron is amazing.

A game the Celtics shouldve won.

Warriors in 5

[volblorx8634]

Wow the bickering is so funny. Who even cares? LeBron is great, the Celtics had a heck of a run, and it was an ugly, yet entertaining game 7. Hopefully tomorrow night and the finals are entertaining as well!

Rockets scoring 25 in a half is more high school like

It's a shame that people, and this goes for both sides, can't just calm down and watch one of the best athletes ever perform without bickering nonstop.

AMEN....

[BostonNut]

Doris Burke sounds like she is going to start crying any second now...what the heck?

[pennywise]

Maaaaan.





Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.


Counting on you, Rockets. Please give us something different this year.

You can't predict a top 5 3 point shooting team shoots 9-36 either.

And losing by 41 points another game, lol

So if a boxer or mma fighter knocks the opponent out of it early on he should continue to beat their head in. You get paid to win and Jordan always won

[aaron2]

I like the Lebron interviews, he keeps it pretty classy I think
