If Lebron loses to this Celtics team without their two best players it will be his biggest failure since the mavericks series. Will be below Kobe again all time rankings.

Did Skip Bayless say that today?  The fact that LeBron has taken this roster to game 6 of the ECF is one of his biggest success stories yet.

    Lebron is the best player of all time, he's always the best on the court.

    No one is saying Jordan had no help. But people saying Lebron has done so much with no help is not put context into the situation. This is the first time in over 10 years where Lebron made the finals

    LeBron = GOAT. Longevity matters. He's been doing it just as good if not better and hasn't taken routine siestas because of a gambling addiction.

That's just flat wrong.

Lebron + NO supporting cast

Celtics - 2 of their superstars still have one of the deepest rosters in the league. Maybe you are unaware who Rozier / Jaylen Brown / Tatum is? Play fantasy basketball, you'll understand.

You sure learn a whole lot about the nba watching the last two minutes of the game. 

It's a bit too complex for plebs to understand, but I am an avid fantasy basketball fan as it is the easiest sport to win fantasy leagues in because basketball fans are amongst the most basic people. It's easy money. 

Looks like Ron learned a new word and is beating a dead horse with it.

He tried this garbage in squared circle thread. Plays a bad guy as if anyone gives af.

Man that is so basic. Its pleb. Are you not keeping up with the Twitch insults that are found on whatever the flavor of the month first person shooter is?

 

Can't imagine the NBA is nearly as excited about a Rockets/Celtics match-up...but it might be better for the sport in the long run, especially if Boston could win without Hayward and Irving.

Of course, it's hard to imagine GS or Houston not wiping out Boston fairly easily...unless Brad Stevens really does walk on water.

Most people over 40 or 45 don't even know what Twitch is...maybe the sequel to Hitch with Will Smith and Kevin James reprising their roles?

Actually, I do remember meeting an "internet model/VJ" in Manila a couple of years ago who went on and on about how much money she made from her Twitch channel.  Her name is Ann B. Mateo.

So predictable that HOU would hold GS to under 100 two games in a row, one in GS, and win both. Anyone who plays fantasy basketball could predict that.

Huh?? So good fantasy basketball players will win championships IRL? You lost me right there.

CP3 out for game 6.  Game 7 should be a wild one.

Hopefully it's not that serious and they are just trying to rest him for an all-in game 7.

Unfortunately, your reading comprehension has failed you. I merely mentioned that the celtics have a deep roster and provided a few names that are relevant from my playing time in fantasy basketball this season. Good fantasy basketball players can be helpful to winning championships.

Unfortunately you reasoning have failed you over and over again on this forum. You cited Celtics have a deep roster and implied it's because Rozier, Brown and Tatum are good in fantasy basketball. I am sure most posters here knew who those guys were by actually watching the playoffs, so if you reasoning is based on fantasy basketball then your opinion don't matter here.

The bold part is just classic. I guess Giannis, AD, and Russ are winning championships this year, and the Spurs dynasty were full of elite fantasy players, oh wait...

There's nothing wrong with my statement. Good fantasy basketball players can be helpful to winning championships. Did you take logic 101 or Introduction to Mathematic Proofs in college? If not, you should consider it, it might help your life.

While your statement isn't false, it's also far from the truth. Good basketball players, team chemistry, and coaching wins championships. Having a team of good fantasy players is hardly a criteria. But then again, for the "simple-minded folks" whose only understanding of the league is through fantasy, I don't expect them to get it.

Lebron is literally doing this by himself. It’s crazy how good he is.

As he should. If he somehow lost to this team he would have lost to the worst team to make the finals in my lifetime. Thankfully he should be able to hold these fantasy all stars off.

His team isn’t much better. But he’s incredible. 

Scary to think what Boston is going to be when their two best players come back next season. (although Tatum will surpass Heyward soon, if he hasn't already) They will own the East for a long time.

Nah, Lebron and his 7 turnovers did it all.

Lebron could have had 25 assists. He’s amazing. Much tougher test from the West though
