Anyone giving the Cavs a chance of winning the series?

 

[Hewson]

Absolutely.
Last year should be enough evidence that they have a shot.

More importantly, we need one road victory by someone for a free taco.

No

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Double no

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Kyrie is good at making shots.

 

[LemonMelon]

What a choke!

 

[speedracer]

What a choke!

Legs and decision-making ability suffer when you play balls-out for 44-46 minutes.

 

[coolian2]

Fuck it they're still going to have to wear 3-1 despite the success.

 

[brooklynmike]

Jordan never put himself in this position....

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Triple no

 

[PhilsFan]

What a shit season.

 

[Diemen]

If the Cavs can't close it out with Kyrie and James playing like that? I never thought it would even be a remote possibility but they just might get swept.

 

[Hewson]

Well, most importantly, Warriors got a road win, so free taco for everybody June 13 from 2 to 6 PM at Taco Bell...
So see you next Tuesday Taco Bell.

I haven't been to TB in years. How much is a taco these days?

They never should have lost last year, if not for Draymond being a complete fucking idiot. And they're twice as good this year.

The only chance the NBA had was for Durant's injury to be worse. This was written from the preseason, and may be written for years to come.

They may actually be too good. They're like the Heat, only they play basketball.

 

[brooklynmike]

At least the Cavs are putting up a solid fight before this sweep is complete. It's time to unravel now.

 

[Hewson]

3 hours for a basketball game.
Brutal.
The refs probably went to the monitor to see what color the sky is.

 

[cobl04]

Still think they'll get beaten 4-1 but it's been lovely to see the Cavs at their best in this game. That first half was insane.

 

[phanan]

It took everything the Cavs have to win just one game.

Let me tell you bout the good ol days...

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Regardless of how the eventual loss the Cavs might suffer, I think the fact that LeBron has seen seven straight NBA finals is damn impressive. I'd like to see him get six rings, if only for the life-long debate.

 

[cobl04]

He's better. End of story.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

He's not, and that's not an insult.

Top 5? Absolutely.

Top 3? Probably.

1? No.

Jordan is still better in every measurable category, from simple stats to advanced analytics, career or best seasons (and is still on top when you include the two sub par Wizards seasons)... and wins, and championships. And that doesn't even measure that they're playing two different games, that Jordan did what he did in a game that allowed the defense to play a considerably more physical style, and that the defensive three second rule eliminated the dominant post player on both sides of the floor, clearing things up for greater guard penetration.

LeBron is an all time talent, a starter on the all time team. He might just be #2.

He's not #1.

 

[LemonMelon]

Millennials are the only ones that think LeBron is the best ever and they should stick to avocados and Snapchat.

 

[cobl04]

And the only ones who think Jordan is the best ever are Gen Xers addicted to nostalgia.

 

[Diemen]

Okay.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

And the only ones who think Jordan is the best ever are people with a clue.

Fixed.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

And so it begins...
