But they DO have Lebron. Supposedly one of the greatest of all time. Who on the Celts comes close to measuring up to him?
So basically you have a Cleveland team full of scrubs versus a Celtics team full of scrubs (minus maybe rookie Tatum) and only one of those teams has Lebron James. Cleveland SHOULD HAVE won this series easily, just based on the fact they have Lebron and nothing else. |

LeBron too tired to even stand up for the trophy presentation.

I disagree. That's like saying the Angels should win every playoff series in a sweep because they have Mike Trout. LeBron's greatness still doesn't make up for the poor roster around him. |

You have to be a truly twisted **** not to be able to respect LeBron's greatness. Whether you think he's the GOAT or a top-five player, think about how rare it is to see someone that good at something. Just appreciate the greatness instead of trying to discredit it.

Baseball is a horrible comparison. A basketball star is more like an NFL QB.

When one teams best player is the 2nd best player ever and the others is a rookie, it most certainly matters. |

Yep. Losing Hayward was a big blow but it lead to the emergence of Tatum and Brown but losing Irving was the death blow for this season. I predicted right before the playoffs they had no chance to make the EC Finals so this was all gravy for the Celtics. |

Remember that when you try to say Lebron would be better off losing in the 1st round like a moron. |

Totally agree. I used to dislike him but I have come to really like him and respect him because he seems like a really good guy, a good father, a good role model and a truly great player. |
