LeBron James is a man amongst boys in this league. It's insane 

 

He has been that way since grade school. He started shaving in the 2nd grade.

He could probably get to the basket at will against 7 footers back then too. I'm not a fan of some of his antics, but there is no denying his place in the sport as one of the best of all time. 

LeBron doesn't even look like he is working hard either....i have been following the NBA for 30+ years and he is the best player i have seen play.

 

Not looking good for Celts... as I type this they're down 50 - 22....  Oh well.

What a joke. Should have just let the Spurs and Celtics play for a consolation trophy.

Spurs could beat GS if Leonard didn't go down.  The minute he went out they went on a what, 18-0 run?

Leonard and parker they would be up 2-0 I think.

They should start doing that next season, then phase in the everybody gets a trophy era.

I am not sold on GS but it also may be i am partially based to their exploitation of the rule changes.  I mean you can't defend with an arm anymore, you can play zone defense, they cater to stars etc....

I still think Curry is overrated and in no way shape or form should have been the first and only unanimous MVP in NBA history.

d**n! I just turned on the tv and it's  72-31 to start the 3rd quarter. The only way I can see the Celtics making the Finals would be if the winner of Patriots vs the Browns decided who would go. 

Number one seed playing with home court advantage just can't get it done.

Indeed. Only able to catch the score online and DANG!

Cavs on fire. Finals will be excellent, especially if they

go a full 7.

The only way anyone besides GS or Cleveland gets a trophy is if it is a participation one.

Remeber though, about a month ago, Durant-less Golden State completely dismantled the Spurs IN San Antonio. But it's a pretty safe bet they would have lost game 1 had Kawhi not gotten hurt. I think the Warriors would have rebounded game 2 whether he was playing or not though.

No argument there.

As a Cleveland native, the one question that has been resonating in my head for a while now is: If healthy, how long will LBJ keep playing? The way he has been unleashing during playoffs is mind blowing.

 

It will be years even before he his below superstar status and just "great".

 

I am along for the ride and I hope it is long!

 

 

(I am still a little salty about "the return", it is like taking a cheating ex-girlfriend back... But, when she is out of your league, you take her back with open arms!)

Sure seems like he could play at this level for several more years, considering he is 32 and arguably playing the best basketball of his career. Maybe the best basketball of anyone's career lol

Not a LeBron fan by any means............but he is the most dominating player I have watched play on every level of the game. Shaq of course dominated in the paint, but LBJ does it from everywhere and anywhere he wants.

The only thing regarding Lebron's years left is that he has played a ton of NBA minutes. Straight from HS, as an 18 year old, right into the 82 game season. Looking at others who have done it, the drop off comes around 35, and can be drastic. He plays a physical game, and is not shy about banging around, that certainly takes it toll on anyone.

We were born in the same hospital. So I probably know a little more about him than you do. What's creepy is some guys humor or lack of it.

I agree, lack of humor can be creepy..I was born in the same hospital as thousands of other people,but I don't have any inside info on them.

Well, if not for the David Lee injury the Spurs would have won this one as well. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well well well...Boston anyone?

Can't fool me. That was just one game. I'd like to see the Celts in it but I don't play "make believe".

I'm just happy they won and didn't get swept! 

 

Make believe was thinking they'd even win one!!  

Great game last night....
