    I know we still have Game 7 to play but assuming we squeak it out, can we beat LeBron with the way he’s playing?

    We beat them without CP3 early this season.
    and with Bobby brown as our backup PG.

    cavs = yes.

    cavs+3+silver+tripple h+thanos+eagles = maybe not

    Capela would turn into Shaq in this series.

    I’ll come back to this thread in 24 hours.

    I dun think it was bad against the Raptors and against Boston inconsistent. I dun think they win it because Boston is that weak.

    But I am surprised that Boston did not make it........it ain't Underdog day.

    I just don’t see CP3 coming back at all this season, James can be shaky at times and I don’t know if tuck is thicc enough for LeBron.

    Their defense sucks, so yes. lebron could score a hundred if he wants to but the whole rockets or warriors team badly defended could score 130 plus. The only way cavs could win if lebron turns into an offensive and defensive monster for 48 minutes. EVEN that is too much for him. Or his team suddenly turn hot offensively and he would not have to carry the offensive load that much and could focus his energy on defense.

    I think we would sweep them. G.S. would sweep them with double-digit margins. This is the real championship.

    lebron is 3-5 in the finals.

    just because he beats up on a weak east doesn't mean he's unbeatable.

    Depends on if Love is playing. I think Rockets would rather Love play so they can attack him in pick and roll. Jeff Green has killed us this season.

    They also traded for Rocket Killer Rodney hood knowing there was a chance they would play Houston in finals.
