lebron is back lol

celtics fans keeping it pretty positive in td that is cool to see, lots of love for this team

real c's fans get what this team's potential was

No ball for a week. Ew

Very happy with an east finals finish, it was always gonna end with someone getting mowed down by lebron so it was nice to confirm that the c's are a cut above the other east pretenders

Also found out IT is one tough mofo, he was legit injured, basically had his face popped off, and had a family tragedy and was still a monster

lebron stressed

it was cool seeing a bunch of cavs pay respect to & embrace isaiah at the end of the game

warriors confirmed champs

The @cavs are my @nba championship pick. https://t.co/VvKmLdt22g

lol

hasn't he gotten like 5 wrong in a row lol

http://thebiglead.com/2017/05/26/reminder-stephen-a-smith-has-gotten-his-last-seven-nba-finals-picks-wrong/

incredible

the way the video cuts from his pick to the buzzer of the last game of the finals is just so satisfying

congrats to james jones on his 7th straight nba finals

lmao

congrats to the security blanket

being lebrons weed carrier hgh supplier must be fun

screwed that up w/e

warriors in 5 btw

We're gonna need a new thread for the Finals. It will no doubt run to 4000+ posts all on its own.

the threematch

cavs in 7

my desire for stephen a smith to be wrong again outweighs any feelings i have about either of these teams

my fav outcome of this series wld be cavs winning via bron having the greatest finals performance ever, not cause im really rooting for the them just cause i wld like to see something like that, and it wld be cool to see the dubs lose after adding kd, i do not think thats whatll happen, i think the dubs will win in 5

dubs in 4 wld be p cool for the historic playoff sweep too, tho it wld boring to actually watch

something I was reading today was like the cavs will win bc klay hasn't been himself lately and I was like bruh

Hoping for a sweep and a point differential of 25+ fth

this is a wise and correct take, altho i would wager warriors in 6

Looks like Bron is playing hard for GOAT status right now. Dubs in 4 or 5 would be a blow against his claim to the throne over the Ghost Of Chicago. Dubs in 6 or 7 would muddy the argument. Cavs victory would maybe cement it for him? All this is kinda pointless and hypothetical but I feel like it matters to the players when they're on the court.

the bron james is already the best player of all time

if the cavs win, lebron is the GOAT.

all signs point towards >>> yes

as die-hard MJ fan, I've been saying what kev said. But no matter what Bron does from here out, MJ is more of an athletic genius. More skilled, greater impact on the game.

a funny thing thats happening is the warriors crying abt ppl liking competitive basketball, kd in particular is super defensive

shdve gone to boston bitch

KD's right, g∞n. Free agency and player salaries already have a shit load of restrictions trying to create more parity. Crappy management has more to do with it than unrestricted free agency.

yeah blaming the players for the system that was collectively bargained is a bad look

hmm yes

fwiw as long as u guys are going into well actually mode the the league tried to get the players to agree to salary smoothing which wldve paid the players, collectively, just as much but prevented teams from loading up while the cap bumped up but the players rejected it, so it is their fault, and its made the nba worse

dont let me stop u from caping for multimillion entertainers tho, theyre depending on yr defense

i am conflicted about it tbh, but i don't see how blaming individual stars for making crystal clear personal career decisions helps anything

there's probably a good takedown article to be written about how cp3 runs the union. seems like it benefits stars more than the average players

its just funny that it so obviously bothers kd that ppl are like the nba is boring now, he shd be able to deal with it its not that bad lol

awww
