ruh-oh.....I hope Chris Paul can recover quickly. If he does I like our chances to win 1 of the next 2 games. Without him it's the Warriors in the finals.
Cleveland managed to win in Boston, much to my surprise. LeBron seemed to will the win, like him or not.
IMO LBJ clearly is the greatest player of THIS generation and one of the 10 greatest of all time. Those with poor memories or no exposure to past generations, usually among the younger set, may consider him the GOAT, but IMO he's not in the top 5. He's somewhere between 6 and 10. Possibly #5 behind Chamberlain, Russell, Kareem, and Michael, but then you'd have to put him ahead of West, Baylor, Bird and Magic. Don't think so. Like I said, just my opinion.
Lebron is a great player, one of the greatest no doubt. I wonder where he'll be playing next year. I think he can opt out of his Cleveland contract and there has been speculation that he want's to play for the Lakers.
No one should have been surprised. One week ago I told you how this would go. It's probably sAfe to bet your house on the Warriors.
OK. So the heavily favored Rockets miss 27 three point attempts and blow a big lead to lose Game 7. The NBA gets the matchup they craved So now we have the Warriors as a prohibitive favorite agains the LeBrons who, I believe have been underdogs in every series ex maybe the Pacers? How does the NBA maximize its exposure when one team is so clearly superior to the other and its two golden boys are in contrasting uniforms? This series should be comfortably settled in five games. But I predict the full seven will be played. The winner? I'll let you know.
Well while injuries are a part of the game, the Rockets might have had a better chance is Chris Paul had been 100% healthy for games 6 and 7. But then maybe he got the word from the league to go down and stay down! I don't expect the finals to go 7 games, Warriors just have too much overall talent, none individually as good as James but collectively they have so much talent in their starting 5.
You guys have been waiting. Liquifying your portfolios. Here is the word. I'm the guy who told you to bet your homes on the Warriors against the Rockets. I also told you that the Celtics were dead in the water when they were leading the LeBrons 2-1. My logic? The NBA wants the matchup of the Warriors and the LeBrons. And now we have it. Coincidence? Fuggedaboutit. So now what. This is a no brainer. On ESPN this morning I heard that the Warriors are the best team EVER assembled in the NBA! They are an overwhelming favorite against a Cleveland team who was unsure they would make the playoffs as late as April. This matchup has five games and Golden State written all over it. Not so fast! Lebron is getting more face time on TV than Trump. He has something to say about everything. Billboards in Los Angeles are begging him to play there next year. Nobody can name two other players on the LeBrons and nobody cares. He is the NBA's Poster Boy. This will be a typical NBA playoff series. Each team taking turns slaughtering the other. Inexplicable twist and turns. But in the end.... The LeBrons take the crown in 7 games. He is canonized by the Church, he refuses to be honored by Trump, he puts Cleveland in the rear view mirror and takes his trophies to the Lakers. And now you know.... the REST of the story! Good DAY!
Ha! Piece of cake. Kevin Love and........and.......Uh, never mind. P.S. ESPN is full of it. GSW not close to best NBA team ever.

I'm a Cavs fan. I think Golden State in 6. I think there is a better than even chance that LeBron stays in Cleveland.
Recognizing how difficult it can be to make some of those calls... I feel that we had some rather inexplicably unfortunate decisions made by the officials. :? But even more inexplicable was JR not putting the ball up immediately after getting the last rebound in regulation. I guess he had the score wrong.
How in the world can a player not know the score when his teammate is on the free throw line with only seconds left in the game? One of the worst boneheaded plays that I have ever seen.
