People laughed at me when I said the Raptors are better then the Celtics. Well the evidence is right there.
Brad Stevens deserves a lot of credit for making this team competent
Remember when Jaylen Brown was a reason why Celtics are better. He is really bad. Boston regretting the draft pick?
Lebron has exposed this fraud Loltecs team.

the celtics just took the cavs to 7 games without kyrie and hayward.
How one can say the raptors are better than them is mind BOGGLING. Raptors got their asses swept.
Both teams still better than the one he had.
He dragged that trash ass squad to the finals. Old heads gotta accept the new reality.

Our "best team ever" couldn't even win 1 game; a team that's mentally fragile starting with DeMar DeRozan
A team missing their 2 best players took the Cavs to 7

I think that I would have no problem if we pushed them to 7 games and lost. I'd accept that, because LBJ is the greatest player ever. I don't accept a sweep and looking like a bunch of wimps.

He already quite literally did the impossible in the 2016 finals when he led both teams in the 5 major stat categories and took down a 73-9 team in 7 games after going down 3-1 in the series. Stickty, among others, can't recognize the greatness.

That was probably the most amazing thing I've ever seen in the NBA. Lebron is simply incredible!

It helped that Thompson, and Curry to a lesser extent, absolutely choked down the stretch in that series.

Does that invalidate the feat? The Jazz should've beat the Bulls in '97 but they choked in crunch time.

No, but let's not act like Lebron single handedly defeated the Warriors at their peak performance either.

I think choking is such an overused phrase and it's really getting ridiculous. There were people calling WSH chokers when they went down 3-2, that looks pretty dumb now doesn't it? Top golfers were always losing to Tiger Woods when paired together in the last round, does that mean that all the top golfers in the world at the time were chokers except for Woods himself? Maybe it's hard to play your peak when you're playing Lebron or Woods?
It's really hard to be in that spot and not be even the slightest bit intimidated and play at your absolute best. I think we should give some credit to all-time greats for being so great that they're hard to play against.

Well yeah, you can likely say that about every finals winner beating a team that didn’t play to their peak.
However, seeing LeBron control the game at every aspect on the floor is simply unmatched by other finals performances.
