Much tougher test from the West though I'd be shocked if it went more than 5. Lebron vs whoever is always a fun finals though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(although Tatum will surpass Heyward soon, if he hasn't already) They will own the East for a long time. Just imagine the 76ers had selected Tatum instead of Fultz...they might be the favorites instead, especially if they could add one more big-time FA to their current mix.

Just really hard to imagine (especially after CLE winning) that it's possible for G.S. to not be their opponent. From a fan perspective, CLE vs. Houston at least opens up the possibility that the Cavaliers could actually win...though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my gut You should hope that Houston wins tomorrow to throw some on the cavs in the finals. Cavs are going to be very, very large underdogs against them. I know it's only one game, but the last time those two teams played it looked like the Globetrotters vs the Generals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 (edited) Terry Rozier 0-10 3PA and almost all of those shots were bad. Probably cost his team the win. Edited May 28, 2018 by SoxAce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still kind of crazy that he had more turnovers than the Cetics had made 3s. And they had 38 attempts. Just an impressively bad display of shooting.

thxfrthmmrs Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 (edited) I am impressed by the numbers Lebron put up in the playoffs, but I don't buy that taking this team to the Finals is the greatest feat of all time. The East is probably the weakest conference in recent memory. I can't remember a time where there's such a disparity of talent between East and West, not in the last 20 years. The conference was already significantly weaker than the West in the past 5-10 years lost Butler and George. Celtics sign Hayward but he was hurt all year, and Kyrie was done before the playoffs even started. If you squint your eyes, you could maybe see 3 top 10 players in this conference in Lebron, Giannis, and maybe Embiid. In the first round an upstart Pacers team lead by a single player who has been a written off before this year to a hard fought game 7. Lebron then faced a Raptors team that's been virtually the same team the past 4 years, led by 2 all stars and a bunch of role players and simply choked. In ECF this young Celtics team who no one gave them a chance to even get pass the first round after Kyrie got hurt also took them to a hard fought game 7 and Cavs pulled out simply because they're a lot more playoff experience than this young team. Was Lebron amazing in the playoffs? Absolutely. But the competition he faced to get to the Finals is extremely underwhelming.

Boogua Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 If you guys ever get a chance watch Lebron rebound. I found it interesting that he only averages 1.2 offensive rebounds per game for his career with how much he's around the basket, so I decided to watch more closely. Last night for example he had 15 rebounds. All defensive. I didn't count one that was contested, unless the person contesting it was lebrons teammate. He also failed to box out 3 times on defensive rebounds and gave up two offensive rebounds to Baynes and one to smart I believe. He's so big and athletic I thought he'd be better there, but he might just be a bit older now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
