Anybody who feels sorry for LeBron needs to remember he made Cleveland give JR $55M, Tristan Thompson $80M, and Iman Shumpert $40M. He also tried to make Mark Jackson his head coach but settled for Ty freaking Lue.

The man is the greatest basketball player of this era by far, and he’s still by far the best player in the NBA, but his team is trash because he built it. Kudos to him for dragging his late lottery team to the Finals, though.

I don’t even like the Cavs and I’m frankly pissed for them. I can’t imagine how bad LeBron feels. There’s a big chance this went from competitive series to a sweep after this stupid ending.

I always hate saying these things, but if that offensive foul on James doesn’t get reversed that’s pretty much game over. Not that it makes any difference, but would like to see the assessment on that one in the final 2 minute report.

Great game tonight, Cleveland got flat hosed on a lot of calls including Tristan Thompson getting ejected on a phantom flagrant at the end. LeBron was unbelievable but he could not overcome JR Smith’s stupidity.

James just might average 40 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists this series in a losing effort. Incredible.

Best comment I have read so far post game 1:

“It took 4 all-stars, 3 refs and JR Smith to beat LeBron #GOAT”.

Pretty spot on IMO

LeBron has played probably the best playoffs in NBA history this year. It took one of the dumbest plays in NBA history and some favorable calls for a home team with two prime former MVPs and a prime 2x DPOY to beat Lebron and a team with one or two good NBA players. I still think the Cavs are getting swept but that was an incredible performance.

Nicos in the 90s Draymond would have been plastered to the floor for his antics.

I don’t know why you all have to be so adversarial towards each other. Jowles generally is short now because of his arrogance but he gets a lot right.

On the other hand everyone else who is deep into stats make good points as well.

Good reads for me though. 🙂

The stats are there to inform your vision, not to replace it.

The fucking irony of this sentence.

I kinda wish Draymond Green played in the ’80s so someone would just take his head off. Terrific player but his behavior on the court is completely unprofessional. He should have been called for a taunting foul when James on the line late in overtime- that’s what really started the whole mess at the end. And how do you taunt a guy who just completely lit you up?
