LeBron. I've liked him since I was sneaking out of my room to watch his high school games when I was in 2nd grade. 

Would you rather IU lose in the NC game or the sweet 16? 

I would say the NC game but not 4 damn times out of 7. There's a difference if it's one or two times. But more than that and it's just a bad story

With the refs help. And dominated it so much to have a losing finals record?

Yes it's being dominated when you go to 6 straight finals. It also took Jordan 4 years and Pippen to even get a winning record. Lebron took a team that won 17 games and in 2 years he had them above .500 record and over 50 the next year.

And won 3-3. And he did those things with the refs help. The fact he was successful doesn't mean he did it by himself.

Going 6-0 is more impressive than 3-4. 

 

Vogel would have won this game btw

I'm not arguing that 3-4 is more impressive than 6-0. I'm arguing that it's more impressive than 3-0.

And 3-0 is nothing. You invented so you could say 3-4 is better than it.

Well on the actual game, I wouldn't have called a TO. I would've let the Pacers play it out

This. And if you call the TO you put 5 shooters in

I didn't invent it. You used Lebron's finals record against him, I said that it's better to make it to the finals than not make it at all. If LeBron had lost before the finals in the four years that he lost then he would have a 3-0 finals record. It's not like Jordan only played 6 seasons and won championships each year. There were plenty of years where he lost before he even made it to the finals. Why do you think it's better to lose in, say, the conference semifinals than the NBA finals?

I honestly thought CJ had it. But go to the basket. It's a one point game and a layup wins it. Go to the basket

The Cavs would have fouled and it  would have gone uncalled.

Nate should've never called that timeout. Let PG make a play without Cleveland setting up their defense. Then after the timeout the play he called was a PG iso with not 1 screen. We needed that one, game 2 is a must win.

Very possible but you still go to the basket

I think it's better to win it all. Which Jordan did half his full seasons in Chicago.

No you put 5 shooters so they can't double team with the threat of a triple

A triple should never have been the mindset in the first place. How you don't go to the basket is beyond me

The Cavs threatened a triple team. Because we didn't have 5 shooters out there

[Hoosier Guy]

I wonder if Drake is gonna take shots at the Bucks lol

Indeed. I've got a victory to celebrate though [emoji14] I hope they can finish this series quickly because the Pacers worry me.

They should worry you. The Pacers showed today that they can win this thing. Game 2 is going to the Pacers

The Pacers always seem to play LeBron tough and George always plays well against him. I think the Cavs win game 2 and then lose one in Indy. I'm expecting a 5 game series but I expect every game to be competitive.
