I didn't mean any sort of confrontational tone in that post, I apologize if it came across that way

Also, that post should say 4 of them, as Jordan didn't need 200+ games, which is ridiculous

LOL, i didn't take it that way.

The Celtics should never have won a game.

7 straight finals berths is video game ****, this is the actual timeline

Tye Lue gives the conference trophy to Derrick Williams, of course, where would they be without him?

In the finals?

 

[weastern bias]

In the finals?

Without a heart and soul player like D-Wil?

The match up we all expected is now official. Can't wait until June 1st.

Great accomplishment for James Jones for sure. Legend.

The GOAT, no doubt

The finals we all expected. The match-up (almost) everyone wanted to see. June 1st cannot come soon enough.

The NBA- Where LeBron Happens.

To put this 7 straight finals in perspective, the last time we had an NBA East Finals- let alone an NBA Finals- without LeBron, his Cavs were eliminated in 2010 by the Celtics the day before the Flyers completed their historic 0-3 comeback.

That Lakers/Celtics Finals was so long ago, games 3-4 were sandwiched in between Patrick Kane's Cup winning goal.

Cavs in 6

 

[Stylizer1]

Durant is going to shut down Lebron.

 

[Voight]

It took Jordan 179 games and 6 titles. Lebron 230ish and 3 titles.

MJ"s playoff PPG is also a solid 4 points higher. And of course he never lost in the finals.

The Celtics should never have won a game.

BS - they almost won 2 games.

 

[weastern bias]

I pick the Warriors in 5

GSW can have 2 of their stars play badly and still win by double digits (Klay Thompson has been bad for the whole playoffs and they are undefeated), but if Lebron has a rough night the Cavs can blow a 20 point 2nd half lead

It truly is the best team vs the best player, if Cleveland wins it's because Lebron goes God mode

 

[Melrose Munch]

Cavs in 6.

 

[Stylizer1]

BS - they almost won 2 games.

And they were embarrassed in the others. There's nothing like destroying the Celtics 4 in a row and not remembering how to play in a tight game against worthy competition. When GS clinched Cleveland still had 2 games to play making their off time less that the Warriors.

 

[Fantomas]

It took Jordan 179 games and 6 titles. Lebron 230ish and 3 titles.

Not to mention Lebron's legendary choking against the Mavericks.

Giving up against the Celtics.

 

[weastern bias]

I also heard someone point out that while Lebron played like 130 more games to claim the scoring record, that he did it in about 120 less shots

 

[Hadoop]

MJ also took 2 years off when his motivation for basketball waned after 1993.

 

[SB164]

Durant is going to shut down Lebron.

Ah yes, Kevin Durant, the perennial DPOY, is going to shutdown one of the greatest and most athletically gifted players in NBA history.

MJ also took 2 years off when his motivation for basketball waned after 1993.

If by "motivation for basketball" you mean his gambling problem, then yes.
