Update?

[Angel Oracle]

How does a team that is essentially Lebron and four parts get to the NBA Finals?     Greatest post-season for any player since?

LOL at the Rockets 3 point futility in game 7 against the Warriors.    Take that D'Antoni, for sucking while with the Lakers!

and does it four years in a row, too. pretty dang impressive.

[BackUpTheTruck]

Warriors in 5.

[Lou]

The Lakers will be better without LeBron

four years in a row of the cavs and warriors in the finals. can't think of another time that's happened in sports though it's certainly possible when the NHL only had six teams.

[m0nkey]

I don’t get it, what else is a man supposed to do to win a game?

[Angel Oracle]

JR Smith is a mo-ron.   That is all.

LeBron probably would have won it too if Smith had simply passed the ball to him. ABC showed a replay with Smith saying "I thought we were ahead."

That was 100% brain dead basketball with the scoreboard right there after the tying basket. Look up, get the score, react accordingly. No spatial awareness.

Cavs will have a much better chance next year once they get rid of that old, regressing LeBron.

[Angel Oracle]

Looks like he's even saying "Give me the @#%^@ ball, JR!"

Uhh JR, you aren't some newb.   You've been in the NBA for like forever!

Some things just don't change

don't play against the dubs.

[mrwicked]

Boom.

[nando714]

Lebron about to have a .333 win pct in the finals 

[m0nkey]

Well that’ll settle it for some people. Lebron will have the legacy of being the worst player ever

Right. I love the people bitching about them as a "super team."

They have one superstar free-agent, and a bunch of home grown late round draft picks.

It wasn't the joke of the Heat with huge dual FA signing. Or the Cavs with more first overall picks than the Oilers.

Folks just love to hate. But the Warriors have been built from scratch as the premier organization in the league.

They'll win 5 championships with this core.

3 down.

But really should be #4.

I had no real interest in this series, but I was in a casino tonight with time to kill, and Game 4 was on center screen at the sports book, so I watched the second half. Cleveland played like a completely defeated team instead of one trying to stave off elimination. When LeBron hit the bench in the fourth quarter and both teams emptied their benches, I wondered whether we have seen the last of him in a Cavaliers uniform - and how much next year's Cavs team will suck without him.

They may not win 20 games next year, even in the east.

Dwight Howard says he's going to be a better teammate with his new team.    I will believe that one when I see it.   Just glad it's not the Lakers allowing him to try it here. 

[failos]

Lebron James just shot himself in the foot. I don't know how much the rest of you know about basketball culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in baseball where you can become successful by being an a******. If you screw someone over in the NBA by leaving your hometown TWICE, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance. What this means is the NBA public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to support the Lebron James or the Lakers, nor will they watch any games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Lebron has alienated an entire market with this move. Lebron, publicly apologize and re-sign with the Cavs or you can kiss your fame goodbye. 

[Blarg]

Yeah, you've pretty much used up that joke.
