Personally, I'm a Celtics fan being from Boston. But right now, I'm just trying to enjoy watching LeBron at the height of his powers. With all the minutes he's playing, who knows how much longer we'll have this version of one of the all-time greats.

He absolutely clobbered Terry on that “block”
 
Again, this is not great basketball. I don't want to hear abour how outstanding the defense is.

I mean, the ball has to go through Al or Tatum every possession.

Terry and Marcus are killing them on O. And Jalen is colder than the north pole

Jaylen is cold, but Rozier is in some kind of frozen stasis. He’s the ballgame. He’s giving them nothing.

Why would anyone say this is great basketball?

Not sure why you would even bring that up, that has never been the narrative...

Someone should have the FBI arrest Ainge. He committed grand larceny by getting Tatum. Kid is fearless and has talent dripping like water.

That said, how good is Lebron? He Can't blow by guys anymore and he is still ungaurdable.
 
3:47 left, the same time that KD decided not to attempt a shot in both Game 4 & 5...

Let’s see what the KING does..

Huh?

Kevin Love who?

Jeff Green way better for this moment, just like I said...

No, but ok. Love they respect so he effects the defense. Green is often open because they don't respect him which allows them to clog the paint.

Just a brutal game from the Celtics. Game 7 at home and you score 74 points, absolutely nothing from Brown, Rozier, and Smart. Oh well. NBA gets what they want with another Warriors Cavs series.
 
KING JAMES!!

Like I said over and over again, no matter who’s there, who’s not, who plays, who doesn’t...

One common result over the last decade, the KING will be playing i he NBA Finals!!

Greatest player I’ve ever seen besides MJ!

Great game. Lots of thoughts here.

1. Horford and Tatum absolutely killing it in the 1st half and LeBron has minor foul trouble - they should have sent the offense through Tatum for the rest of the game. Terrible coaching by Stevens. Too many shots taken by the 2nd string - Marcus Smart is a heady, energetic player, and I respect what he brings - but he took too many shots.

2. Tatum is going to have a nice career. Fine player. I know he's young, but he gave up the ball too much tonight considering how hot he was.

3. The bad call on LeBron when Smart faked the charge almost changed the outcome of the game. LeBron had 4 fouls relatively early. This looked headed for overtime until the moment got too big for the Celtics late in the 4th.

4. Morris should put as much energy into practicing his jump shot as he does into screaming all the time. Pick your moments kid.

5. JR Smith actually showed up and played a key, if small, role.

6. The question somebody asked about "would you take Brad Stevens over a great player like Lebron" has been answered. Stevens did not have a good night - got away from what was working and made no adjustments late to get the ball to the hot hands.

7. Tyron Lue did a nice job - when he went to doubling Al, that's when the tide shifted, and suddenly.

8. I thought the officiating was acceptable, if not great. Cavs were in early foul trouble often - Celts should have crashed the rim more - waaaay too much distance shooting by cold shooters. If they pressed that advantage, they win - bad coaching there.

9. Guy who said he predicted two blowouts - 1/2 way to the worst call of the month on the BY.

10. LBJ is the greatest player I have ever seen play, and I've been watching since the late 70s. Him winning on the road versus the Cs in a game 7 after their home dominance with the bunch of bums that he has is absolutely miraculous. Not one all-star in the group other than him, and he's in the finals. Bizarre and impressive and unreal.

11. All the pressure is going to be on GS tomorrow.

12. Rockets vs. the Cavs with a healthy Kevin Love and the Cavs have a shot.

13. If Cavs beat the Rockets, the number of people saying LeBron is better than Jordan was is going to go from <20% to about half.

Besides, he did what everybody thought he'd do tonight.

This game was lost by the C's. 7-39 from three tonight. 7 of freakin 39. 17.9%. And 34% shooting overall. That's just....idk

Terry Rozier 0 of 10 from three.
Jaylen Brown 3 of 12 from three.

The KING made it all happen! He just gave them a glance and they cowered in fear because he is the KING!!!

If they play GS, no chance in hell they win. You're about to see the difference between the East and the West.

If Houston without Paul, it's a possibility.
