    Celtics have to get rid of IT. Can't have your team build around him. It just won't work at all. If Rondo didn't get hurt, Bulls in 6.

    How much better will Boston be after the Draft?
    Will the be #1 in the East again next year? With a legit shot at the finals?

    Cavs are a stacked team, even more so than the hated (I do, lol) Warriors, so when they are focused on offense and defense and lead by the best player in the NBA in generations, they will be a hard team to beat to four games. No doubt.

    Here is the logic: lebron is better than a combined Klay, Curry, Durant and Green BECAUSE there is only one ball and dude can play 42 to 44 minutes a game. So literally, Lebron is on the floor almost the whole game.

    LeBron is not better than those 4 guys, combined. Plus, if LeBron can go 44 minutes a game, so can the other 4. And it's much easier to stop 1 person than 4.

    I remember back when most super teams were always one injury away from being bounced out of the playoffs. Now the 2 superteams can stand to lose two suuper stars and still easily make it to the finals.

    jr should go up to horford and say "who are the best lebron stoppers in the league?

    al says who?

    jr says " the atlanta hawks"

    horford cries, jr laughs, lebron comes out of nowhere and laughs, horford gets in the ground in a cradle and cries harder

    then lebron says "i swept teague 3 straight times. guess who's next al? ;) "

    I think Washington would've been better, their fault anyway, they should've won against Boston

    They could've won a game and the rest would've been close. The problem is the Wiz lost the previous series when they blew Game 2.
