The 60 posters hanging in your trailer tell it all.

That and the 4632nd thread saying the same thing. Over. And over. And over
Histrionic personality disorder. It's sad

Bobby if you believe in the Cavs. Don't bet on them. Team USA beach boys will beat them. Media propaganda set up for you to keep thinking he's invisible.

 GOAT = Clutch.  Lebron is not clutch.  Tell me when has he been clutch when it matters . He is Magic Johnson and that's it.

Don't be mean to us here now Bob as we have feelings to you know?

But I will say this you brain washed Cavaliers Gambler....Cleveland did indeed look mighty impressive this series with the number one seed Celtics but they still by No means contrary to what you believe and even myself for that matter after seeing Cleveland in tonight's game...Have a cake walk here in the finals against Golden State....Good luck to you this championship round Bob

I remember last year i got banned for saying Cleveland would win it all and i kept calling everyone a moron that picked GS and what happen, i was right... Just like i will be right this year... I just wanna see who SAS picks now that Skip Bayless is gone, i wonder if they will have him finally be able to be correct... Earlier this season, he picked the Cavs to win, IDK if he still has the Cavs tho...

Stop making up fake numbers.  It is +235 at the biggest book in the world -BM.   -280 for GS.    There is a reason GS is laying almost 3-1.  All espn is doing is taking aboutLeBrick making it to 7 straight finals in .. books know what the outcome is.  It is media that is hyping the Cavs... follow the smart money.

Did they know Green would be suspended.  GS is much fresher team this year.  Burnt out chasing 73 + got taken to 7 in the WCF coming back from 3-1.

They also have a bunch of new loser personalities in Zaza, McGee and West that will drag them down in finals.

MJ needed to beat 67 win 86 Celtics to make finals, one of the greatest teams ever, needed to beat the 87 Celtics to. 

Then he needed to beat the bad boy Pistons, 3 straight trips to finals winning 2 and losing a close game 7 to Magic and Karrem, 2 of greatest players to play.

Piston were a rare team to win back to back and make 3 straight final.

Did LBJ have to beat even 1 team comparable to those teams MJ lost series to, to make the finals in his 7 straight finals run ?

NO................................not 1 team comparable......

LBJ just passed MJ as all-time leading scorer in playoff history.

212 playoff games to MJ 179 , it only took LBJ 33 more games to pass MJ.

Remember back then 1st round was only best of 5 not 7 like it is in LBJ 's time.

And it took changing the rules to allow more offense and make playing defense much harder and it still took 33 more games to pass MJ.

Player effeincy ratings

MJ 27.9 best of all-time.
LBJ 27.6

Win shares, how much a player contributes to his team's success

MJ .25
LBJ .239

Remmeber this includes MJ 2 years in Washington which brought his ratings down and also includes LBJ getting himself on a super-star team with a former NBA finals MVP Wade and a great scoring forward in Bosch

Wade scored about 3 pts fewer then LBJ which took alot of pressure of the defense off LBJ. MJ 2cd scored scored like 14 pts fewer then MJ, Bosch scored like 12 or 13 pts fewer then LBJ  so MJ 2cd scorer scored less then LBJ's 3rd scorer and all that helps LBJ .

With all that going for LBJ he still is not better then MJ.................................

LMAO this thread. Bunch of MJ lovers still trying to hold onto their childhood. Sorry guys Bron is an all around better basketball player. Put Bron and MJ on separate teams and give them the same surrounding players and I guarantee Bron wins a 7 game series. Gotta get over it and accept what you are witnessing...GREATNESS

I bet cavs for the sweep because of your 16-1 explanation, and they all ready lost one game. Do you really think it has a chance and they sweep? A lot of people are saying cavs in 7... I also bet kyrie MVP and added more on the series price. If cavs lose it will be a long slow 3 months until football... BUT IF THEY WIN OHHHH IF THEY WIN
