    LeBron can't carry a team full of mediocre players to the NBA finals. He's only ever done it once.

    Either Kevin Love steps up, or the Cavs will sink to the Celtics.

    Watching this display of basketball is amazing.. Rockets I hope come out with the same intensity. Golden state like Cleveland maybe the favorites.. But it doesn't mean they can't get punched in the mouth! :mad:

    This is what I like about Brad Stevens.

    Celtics had a 28-point lead cut in half to end the 3rd. No panic. He fires up the troops once again and gets them to stay focused. 7-0 run to start the 4th quarter.

    Good coach gonna coach.

    If Morey gets flack for targeting players that end up playing like trash that don't make it to the Roster, does Morey get credit for drafting Marcus Morris who ends up playing great in the ECF and targeting Al Horford?

    Now they're just toying with the Cavs defense.

    Tatum is such a pleasure to watch. Kid is special.

    Funny thing is either us or the Warriors will destroy whatever team comes out of the East.

    I think Boston’s defense could present issues for both the Warriors/Rockets.

    Boston is a super team starting next year.

    This is what I've been saying all along. He hasn't been terrible today but the Cavs might need 25/10 from Love to get past the Celts, especially when nobody else on the team plays worth a dime.

    Celtics aren't mentally soft like the Raptors, who were very poor preparation for the Cavs. Now that LeBron & Co know what they are up against, I expect the Cavs effort level to improve a lot.

    while i agree, lebron has been lowkey terrible. he's 5-16 and has 7 TO's. easily his worst game of the playoffs (and he dominated the celtics last regular season matchup). lebron has to drive more, can't just be all jumpers.
