    We got the team we want to beat

    Gives LeBron a chance to take the throne rather easily. That said, the Cavs aren’t going to be able to stop GS.
    lol imagine if lebron pulled a miracle out of his ass and pulled it off. the chances are 1 in 10,000. people will use losing this finals against that warriors team against him. maddening.

    Teq, did you enjoy the LeBron takeover?

    What he can do on the court is extremely impressive ... I was more frustrated during the game at Boston really rushing what they were doing and quite possibly trying too hard to win

    teq - why do you "hate" (your words) lebron? i can see not ranking him #1 or even #2 due to super high standards or really simplistic ones (like finals records and nothing else), but hate? honest question.

    Hate is probably a poor choice of words by me

    As a player, he’s an insane talent but I don’t personally like how he structures his teams as it puts too much of the burden on him. It leads to a narrative that when things aren’t working it’s that he doesn’t have enough help and when he does win it’s how great he is and he’s winning despite his team.

    As a person, I respect what he has done in the Akron community. I was never fond of how he left Cleveland ... not that he left though. I don’t like that he has established a trend of coming in, getting organizations to sell out for him for 4 years, and then leaves the organization in a tough spot. And I think he has a lot of people that shield him from responsibility when things go wrong on the court.

    Will the LeBron haters concede GOAT status if he pulls it off, or will the Trump card be 6>4?

    I really don't see him doing it, but damn if he did...

    In my mind it likely starts to tilt the argument past Magic ... Kareem is still an interesting case but I think it’s probably a good debate. Still don’t put him ahead of Russell or MJ

    There's almost zero chance but yes the debate would end.

    The warriors and Cavs might have as many sequels as American Pie

    Took a walk for some perspective. The Rockets lost because they missed 27 3's in a row. Golden State needed all the help they could get though, the Rockets lost more than they won.

    The Rockets and the Celtics combined 3 point shooting in game 7 was 14 for 83. Fucking pathetic!!
