I started liking them in 2012-13 when they finished second in their division.  My favorite team is the Boston Celtics (who, if they had Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward, would have easily beaten the Cavaliers).

First LOL, you're in "pure ecstasy" over a team you started to like when they happened to start contending for titles???  Oh and you mean how if Chris Paul didn't get hurt in the closing seconds of Game 5, this thread easily doesn't exist?  Same logic applies to your "Cavs should be 0-3", Warriors shouldn't even be in the Finals this year.

Game 7 was average for LeBron in terms of his production. The Celtics pooped all over themselves and showed their inexperience. 

It was more than simple inexperience, especially since the most inexperienced player, Tatum, did his part, including posterizing the King of the East.  I like this celts team, but Lebron is the GOAT.  

1 assist away from a monster triple double, that may be average for the GOAT, but it was still an absolutely dominant performance on both ends of the court.   I never thought I would switch from the "MJ is the greatest" camp, but when you see what Lebron is doing at 33, and his absolute dominance and command over the game vs the other guys in his draft class like Melo and Wade who are in the twilight s of their careers, and then taking this garbage Cavs team to yet another finals, without Love in game 7, there is no question- Lebron is the best all around player in the history of the game.

Being from the Bay Area, I am in ecstacy that the Golden State Warriors just reached their fourth consecutive NBA league championship, as did the Cleveland Cavaliers yesterday. This got me thinking: who was the last team to reach four straight finals in the four major sports? Oh, that's right: the Buffalo Bills. Which led me to think of their four straight Super Bowl losses and how everyone makes fun of that.

 

Well, in about two to three weeks, the Cleveland Cavaliers willl lose yet again to the Warriors in the NBA Finals. They also lost last year in 2017, and in 2015. They should have lost in 2016 too when they were down 3-1. So, basically, the Cavs should be 0-4 in the last four finals, and 0-5 overall. So, 0-5 is worse than 0-4 for the Bills (who really should be 1-3 since they should have beaten the Giants in SB XXV), so the Cleveland Cavaliers will be the new worst team in the four major sports.

 

LOL. Cleveland sucks; Buffalo rocks.

This is one of the least clever troll attempts I've ever seen.

Quite a bit actually. He's looked a lot more tired than he's ever looked. No one can go forever and I truly think LeBrons time is coming to a close. 1 more elite year and then a couple of "just good" ones then retirement.  

Wow.  Just wow.

It’s a totally different era of hoops, the east is a joke. You mention Love’s absence but not Kyrie and Hayward. A bad Pacers team in 7 games, the sweep of a soft Raptors team, then a win over the short handed Celtics. The best player on an opposing team may have been Victor Oladipo, I’m not sure this is some great feat. 

 

FWIW the Cavs were better without Love in plus/minus before his injury. Love is one of the most overrated players in the NBA.

No but having the longest playoff drought in all of sports would be the reason the Bills are up there....

I agree that Love is past his prime, which is just another testament to the greatness of Lebron.

Different eras for sure, but those Bills teams with Jordan were more akin to the current Warriors team without the challenges they've faced in the west- Thunder w/KD, Spurs, and now Rockets.

Irving and Hayward weren't mentioned bc they weren't apart of this playoff run or series, unlike Love. I mean if we're going to do that, why not start drudging up what the Western Conference would've looked like with a healthy Boogie, and Kawhi?

 

This Cavs team is a top 3 lottery team without James- When MJ left the Bulls they still won 55 games.

 

The eras aren't drastically different either like with the NFL when you compare now vs the 90's.

I'd also hardly call a team that won 59 games "soft", and to eschew sweeping them doesn't seem prudent, especially when you once again take into consideration, the complete lack of talent surrounding Lebron and the fact that he was coming off putting the team on his back to win that 7 game series.  

The east is much better than it has been in past years, Celts, Sixers, Bucks, Pacers are all loaded with lots of talent and maybe the Raps can find a coach who doesn't fall apart when the post season rolls around.  

You hate on every team Lebron beat, despite the fact that if you take Lebron off that team, and the Cavs don't sniff the playoffs.  You take Hayward and Irving off the Celtics, and they still come within a game of the finals.

The NBA? Yawn.

 

 

NBA playoffs were fun to watch at one time. Now, its all about 3 pointers and one-on-one drives to the basket.  What happened to pick and rolls, post up's in the paint, and guys moving without the ball?  It's a terrible product.

But if you listen to ESPN it's going to dwarf the NFL soon

So you clearly didn't watch much of either Conference Finals series.

 

Terrible product growing more rapidly than any other sport on the entire world.

 

But I will say that Cavs Warriors 4 isn't doing the league any favors. Wasn't happy at all when Paul went down.  

But if you think that's all he NBA is then you simply don't watch it, or you would notice teams like Boston and San Antonio playing the style of ball you talk about.

I hate being rude, but serioisly? Is this an actual post? The Cavs DID win in 2016, so this post doesn't make sense. Am I being trolled here?

 

I'm gonna vote "yes"

[SoCal Deek]

As a fan of just about every sport and sporting event, I find the NBA to moving in the wrong direction.  I agree with others on here that cite the focus on 3 Point Shooting and the One-on-One drives, while the rest of the team stands out at the circle and watches. To say nothing of the officiating and league-paid announcers. Yuck!

 

I'm fearful that the NFL is headed in the same direction, in what I think must be their quest for increasingly more offense and an expanding international market. I'm never quite sure what the Commissioner is doing.

You realize hes 35 right? 

[ThunderGun]

People just love to complain.

You want low scoring snoozefests, then go watch soccer or baseball.

Guys have gotten more proficient at shooting 3s, it's not as if somebody moved the line closer or made the balls smaller.

Teams are still playing TEAM basketball and solid defense (Jazz, Celtics, Spurs), but the success of the Warriors is overshadowing the things other teams are doing/building.

 

The only thing I really dislike about the NBA is the hypocrisy of allowing Golden State to essentially build a starting 5 of All Star talent, while blocking CP3 from going to the Lakers before he went to the Clippers.  But when you find me a perfect sports league, lmk.

I just don’t see it. In games 1, 3, and 5 he had a total of 2 points in the 4th quarter against the Celtics. That’s not the goat sorry. In the 2018 playoffs his primary defenders have been Bogdanovic, Anunoby, Morris. The best player he faced was who? Tatum? Victor? That’s a nice smooth ride into the finals.
