    You see pancakes, like Lebron, are really, really good.  But if you consume too many pancakes, you just get fucking sick until you puke and you no longer want to see a pancake, much less consume it.  Same goes for the NBA Finals.
    Not a fan of the bulls run in the 90’s?!?
    Thankfully Jordan retired and the Rockets gave us all a break halfway through.

    That said... Jordan  > Lebron.
    Jordan in championships is greater than lebron. As a player LBJ is by far better...

    LBJ as a GM is horrible and Jordan knew who to surround himself with. 
    That is the funniest thing I've read today,  "far better" better than Jordan. I can understand why there is some argument on the GOAT, but in no world anywhere is LBJ "far better" than Jordan. 

    I have Jordan as the GOAT and until this year, had James at 3rd, but he has surpassed expectations this year and has moved to number 2 for me, but he's still not better than MJ for me


    Not only was Jordan better, he was more enjoyable to watch. I hate the fucking Cavs. It's boring basketball.

    Obviously it's an incredible accomplishment to get this team to the finals. Reminds me of AI taking the Sixers to the finals in '01. Saying Lebron is far better than Jordan is utterly ridiculous though.
    AI's my favorite (hence the username) but he had a perfectly built team of strong defenders and rebounders.  Lebron has a bunch of average-at-everything guys and the artist formerly known as Kevin Love.  If he somehow wins a ring this year it ends the debate in my head. Never thought i would say it either.

    I would agree somewhat, if Lebron can the the title this year he would climb to being even with the cast of players he's playing with this year. Also this team was changed almost entirely in mid season. Grant you I cant stand Jordan, Lebron somewhat and yes i don't right now believe he's better than MJ.

    Why wasn’t Kyrie at the game supporting his team? 

    Lebron is superior to MJ in almost every way.

    the celtics youth finally showed. it was anyone’s game with 7 minutes to go. then, the C’s disappeared and the GOAT took over.

    george hill, JR and korver CAN be good but they sure seem to stink on the road. surprising for veterans.

    go dubs!

    Kyrie was home recovering from surgery for a deviated septum.

    The better question is why is Mark Jackson such a self righteous, uninformed, pompous jackass?

    7/44 from three. As a coach, how can you allow that to happen.  Lots of time left, within striking range, they were getting some stops but waste them by shooting terrible 3s.  Why not attack the basket when (other those 2 Harden fouls outside) they were getting calls inside all night?

    Completely agree. IF Lebron can beat the Warriors, then I will put him next to MJ as equal GOAT, because that would be the greatest finals victory ever

    What is up with the Warriors and the 3rd quarter blitz?

    I just heard a stat that they outscored their opponents by some ridiculous margin.

    I really hope the Cavs play as a damn unit and shut everyone up.

    That would make me very, very happy.

    I'm actually hearing talk of the Cavs not winning a game in this series?!?  I think everyone is going to be surprised with this series.

    If Harden by himself with the team he had last night can give the Warriors a fight then I do see the Cavs as having a shot.  The rest of the team has to show up and they can't die by the 3 pointers.  If the Rockets drove to the hole in the 2nd half then we would be seeing a very different outcome.

    Lebron needs to pound the ball inside and get the Warriors in foul trouble early.

    The rest of the team needs to make some stops and some plays on the offensive side too.

    Stop Curry and his third quarter slaughter.

    I needed to add that if Igoudala doesn't play then The Cavs have a shot.  He is an X factor for them.
