What's the point of basketball playoffs when the first two series are basically given? Cut this shit down so I just get the Cavs and Warriors finals we are bound to get again.

When LTG and FF are silent then you know LBJ did something crazy. LTG woulda wanted LBJ to pass to Kendrick Perkins on that last play because LBJ is a "ball stopper" who needs to pass more.

:lol: @ the silent comment. Any time you want to debate the relative GOAT merits of LeBron and MJ I’m more than happy to oblige. It won’t end well for you.

Pro tip: you literally only have longevity in your favor. Nothing else. Good luck.

There are two instances in which the "shitty ass East" argument is ignored by you. Its only ignored while assessing the respective "greatness" of

1. Lebron

2. Thibs.

Hmmm
Maybe
Love how the whole year was spent talking about how Derozan expanded his game and was so great then ends up sitting the whole 4th quarter in a playoff game

No they aren't. I take Lebron over Derozan and I take Kevin Love over Kyle Lowry just to start off with.

Their crew was tight. Fell off after Erick Sermon and Parrish Smith had their falling out. They actually could have been the Wu before the Wu with that clique. There wasn't a bum in the crew.

Why don't you keep going down that list. That's what I thought.

59 wins to 50
8 point differential
34-7 at home.

Better team is Toronto by far.

If Toronto is better than Cleveland then that certainly hurts the LeBron = GOAT argument. It's somewhat understandable if a team filled with future HOF players is better. If Toronto is then that's sad.

I know it would take an enormous toll but they need AD to guard Durant. Nobody else can come close and they're wasting Jrue defensively by making him try.

So if Krause traded Pippen, Rodman, and Kukoc for a draft pick and Mookie Blaylock then Jordan is all of a sudden not GOAT? Why does the quality of one's teammates matter when it comes to judging someone as GOAT?

The Raptors were 24-21 against above .500 teams this season. Their defense sucks. They’re not better than the Cavs.

From the guy who repeatedly argues that it is a five on five and only winning matters Also the same guy that repeatedly bashes Kyrie for not making the playoffs even though he had the worst roster, worst coach/org in the league. Somehow his inability to win was a referendum on him the player and not the team but in this instance that sort of thing doesn't matter.

Talk about a windsock.

The Cavs had two completely different rosters this year. NBA playoffs aren’t one and done. Cleveland’s up 3-0. They’re better.
