But Brad Stevens is a genius.

That's where the post-up game should come into focus; not hitting from outside? Post up on a smaller player to get higher percentage shot.

I guess it's the Warriors era. Everyone tries to copy what works.

He is a very good coach.

They don't have a post up player on the roster.

They gave up on trying to beat Cleveland with dribble penetration.

I would’ve liked to see D Rose in the Finals. He’d contribute much more than Rodney Hood next round. Wade too.

LeBron's dominance is as boring as the Patriots' dominance, but LeBron isn't a MAGA chud like Belichick and Brady so it's okay. Appreciate that greatness, baby.

I know everyone here likes to hate on Lebron's number of finals appearances, but this is the weakest team he's taken there since 2007.

I think these conference finals should also put to bed the notion that anyone can challenge James for best player in the league. For all the talk of torch passing last year, and the inevitable win in 5 games or less the Warriors will have in the finals this year, I don't see Durant making it out of the East with the group Lebron just did.

I've always liked LeBron and I was probably the only one who actually liked the whole Miami deal where he teamed up to make a super team.

Not sure why the guy gets so much hate. And for a superstar, he still doesn't get the amount of calls other guys like Kobe use to get.

No hate over here.

I agree with the 2nd sentence.

No you weren't, and I don't think you were posting here when the decision happened.

I will never ever forget all the butt hurt Bulls fans after he went to Miami. It was truly a dark time for the board.

That is something Tatum should work on in the off-season and use his size and length to his advantage.

No I didnt post at that time. But ya I liked it. I was the only one in the world I think. I even liked 'The Decision'. Still don't understand why everyone hated it. Made for great tv.

For their careers, James is averaging 8.1 FTA pg to Kobe's 7.4

because he goes to the hoop more than Kobe did. But there are so many 'superstar fouls' the refs don't give lebron they give other guys.

I think you need a new tv

nope. maybe you missed Kobe's career.

Nope I've watched MJ, Kobe, and Lebron throughout their careers. You forget all the fouls the refs "miss" when James is on defense or the on the floor fouls Lebron draws.

Are there other players on the Cavs? Never see anyone mentioned. Not by the other team, not by the media, not even by Lebron.

Tatum and Smart came to play. Brown and Rozier were the two worst players on the court for either team. Both those guys were awful, not just today but this whole series. Both seemed to be fading as the playoffs advanced.

can't believe at one point there was talk of trading Kyrie and letting Rozier be the PG. That's laughable. If Kyrie is healthy, Boston advances.


If Boston is thinking long term and it looks like they are going to lose the big Aussie guy in the middle and then Horford eventually, maybe the time for another Ainge blockbuster is in order. Something around Brown and Rozier and even one of their high draft picks. I'm sure they can land a high quality big for that package.

Nice to see Kobe trying to get his name brought up in conversations where he doesn't belong

Kobe Bryant @kobebryant
We can enjoy one without tearing down one. I love what he’s doing. Don’t debate what can’t be definitively won by anyone #enjoymy5 #enjoymj6 #enjoylbjquest

I'll enjoy the mere 2 you won as the actual best player on your team Kobe, including the one where you shot 6-24 in a game 7.

very fast thinking the Warriors win?
