what % does houston have against golden state without paul?
damn dual game 7s is pretty rare and fun.
i'll bet golden state wins by 10+ regardless -

no i don't think getting to the finals this year is his best accomplishment, nothing will beat coming back down 3-1 on the road to beat the 73 win warriors. how there were still any doubters or "haters" (see above) after that performance is fascinating to me
i do think it's more impressive than the angry furries above this post do, though. this team is absolute garbage, bottom-of-the-east drivel without him. it's impressive as fuck
Weird strategy >>>> slow strategy

Impressive shit for LeBron James. He’s carried at least 5 unworthy teams into the Finals now and that in itself impresses me tonight.

The reality is that Boston pissed this game away tonight ... it was an epically shitty shooting game for them ... congrats to the Cavs for keeping the game tight and Boston’s youth finally showing up at homeBaldwinIV said:lmfao

Pretty sure jerry west(the LOGO) won only 1 out 7 or 8 trips to the finals. Lebrons history will not be defined by not winning "enough" in the finals. The fact that you're spending this much time trying to prove a negative is actually comical and truly sad.Tequilla said:

Is getting this team to the finals the greatest accomplishment of his career?
I'd probably say yes. This team wins 20 games without LeBron.
They barely survived in Round 1 against a flawed team with a mediocre coach who couldn’t make basic adjustments
They won Round 2 against a team that LBJ has made his personal bitch for years
They won Round 3 against an up and coming team missing their 2 best players, the next best player being more of a supporting role, and 2 future stars that are 20 and 21 respectively.
And in 2 of those series they needed 7 to get the job done.
Swallow LBJ’s balls while you are at it if you really think that a player that all of you LBJ cum guzzlers think is the GOAT somehow just ran through the greatest performance of all time just to get to a Final by beating 2 flawed teams and a team that tries really hard but is a year away -
For the record, the only times that MJ went out of the playoffs early in the 1st round was against the Celtics.BaldwinIV said:in the annals of history beating the 73 win warriors will be more impressive, yes. individually though, what he's doing now in year 15 is imo more impressive and difficult. if that makes sense.
and bot i never said appearances are better than championships. just that 6-0 in a vacuum disregards all the times MJ flopped out in the 1st and 2nd rounds. looking at only the w-l finals records is incredibly simplistic and disregards like 300 other factors. out of respect for gladdy i'll bow out and stop repeating the same shit. teq is too unintelligent to respond to, and to think his hilariousness on the TSIO podcast is what brought me here. can't believe it.
The only teams to ever beat MJ in a series all went to at minimum the NBA Finals (at least in Chicago - don’t think he ever made the playoffs in Washington) -

I’m a big believer that you have to take a few lumps along the way to learn what it takes to win at the highest levels. I think a lot of that happened to the Celtics last night -
And for as great as Jerry West was, why is he further down the list of greatest players ever than one would expect for being The LOGO?FreeChavez said:

I’ve said elsewhere that LBJ is in my Top 5 of all time at this point. I think it’s a splitting hairs argument to pass Magic. It’s hard to compare him for/against Kareem. I personally don’t think he has passed Russell or MJ yet.
Given how the game continues to evolve and change, it is hard to compare across generations. There’s no question that LBJ is the best player of his generation with Kobe and Timmy in a battle for 2nd -
I'll take the Rockets and the points.

Update: Lebon at 9
