    I accept that the CAVS are the superior team.
    I accept that the CAVS should be winning

    I hate that they get more favorable calls in the process
    Cheating against the Celts is just *****ty

    Well, sure.

    But I can reference the Mavs - Heat, Spurs - Heat and Lakers - Pistons. I think the Heat both times and the Lakers were all expected to win their respective Finals, but I think coaching was the major difference in those series.

    I'm not sure how you're so hung up on this coaching thing. You're questioning how people can even rate coaches - can you tell me that McHale is on an even level with the Pops and the Thibs of the world?

    It's easy to talent level trumps most everything. If that were the case, the most talented team should win the title every year - but that's not the case.

    Celtics get hit with a barrage of fouls at the beginning of the 3rd and Cavs now in the bonus with 8 minutes left.

    I'm putting it out there.

    If LeBron played his career in the West.

    I'm not so sure he makes it past the Conference Finals.

    He is SO lucky to have dominated an absolutely abysmal Conference.

    Here is record against the west since 2008:
    18-12
    20-10
    25-5
    11-7
    20-10
    23-7
    26-4

    I don't think he would have much of a problem being in the west.

    I'm not sure why Crowder saying he isn't intimidated by the Cavs is such a big topic of discussion.

    You're trying too hard to be edgy. LeBron would have no problems.

    Crowder's awesome. Brandan Wright is effective. Rondo ruined their team.

    That trade is epically hilarious.
