    I think he was trying to say that it's a 7 game series, and not single elimination.

    But yeah, he could have worded that better lol

    Gotta agree with him, LeBron had a historically bad game by his own standards.

    LeBron shot 5-16, if we are to believe that Harden shot 2-18 one game in tribute to minny's area code, then LeBron did it for New York!!!

    LerBon 2 tha Nicks confrimed!!!!!!!!

    At least the NBA plans to get their money's worth with this series, LeBron is going to '09 Lakers his way to a title, going to 7 all the time, and injuries and (((officiating))) win the games for him.

    he is surrounded by great 3 point shooters. He needs a cp3 that can create and score by themselves.

    He just did that against the pacers. He scored more points than the next 3 or 4 cavs combined. He will probably try to be more of a scorer in game 2 so they don't get down as much.

    This is just nuts. Is this Celtics team without Kyrie or Hayward really going to go to the Finals? The Eastern Conference is an absolute joke.

    Game 1 is always a feel out game for Lebron. Game 2 will be more competitive. However, Love needs to show up.

    This series will be competitive. Cavs got blown out by Pacers in game 1. This series will go to 7. Playing in Boston is tough.

    Celtics have a great system. If the rest of the Cavs don't show up, it might be a gentlemen sweep.

    Harden’s playoff reputation would be so different if he was in the East instead of the West

    we’re facing arguably the most talented team in NBA history, meanwhile Bron is facing a nice Boston squad missing 2 of its best players

    If/When the Rockets get to the Finals, not sure which team I'd rather them face. Against a Celtics team who have given us fits all year led by Genius Brad Stevens? Or against the Cavaliers with a weak team but led by Lebron.

    Cavs. Celtics are by far the better defensive team and they have a stable of versatile, long defenders to throw at James and Chris. It would be tougher to find mismatches for them to isolate on compared to the Cavs who have a ton of players to take advantage of. Their is no one obvious player to shut down, no "head of the dragon" for PJ, Ariza, Luc to focus their attention on. Any players on the Celtics can go off in a given game while it's going to be Lebron for the Cavs most of the time. It would be easier to try slow down Lebron, or inversely let Lebron have his and shut down everyone else. Much more difficult to do that with the Celtics. Also for some reason..Lebron has struggled with the Rockets the last 3 years or so. I'm pretty sure he's lost every game at Houston, and at least half in Cleveland.

    Harden's reputation would be different or do you mean record?

    Harden's rep might be even worse if he had the same playoff flame outs in the East.

    On the other hand, Harden probably wouldn't have had those playoff flame outs if he took his talents to the East because of the weaker competition.
