Other than "Lebron reasons" there's not much to argue. All the stats are on our side.

I hated Bron too in 2013 and 2014, The Spurs were supposed to win in 2013.

The outcome of sporting matches can be unpredictable, that's why most people watch it.

 

[msdstc]

ESPN played up the whole only LeBron will have been to 5 straight finals when his teammate James jones will have been there too. Reminds me of when a few years ago they played up how kobe had the most rigs of active NBA players not mentioning that Horry has more.

This is stupid

 

[tiggerkiddo]

But Cleveland has been to the Finals before...

Just sit back and chill. No reason for all of this and that. Stats means nothing when there are refs lol

 

[panthapanda]

Game 3 was essentially the last game of the season for the Hawks. Game 4 they agreed with the Cavs they would help kyrie warm up for GS

Ggs Cavs. I thought my team would make this competitive but oh well. Good luck next round

Warriors can still fall like every year in the playoffs. Just took longer this year...

Because stats are the only thing that can dictate a championship. Like what?

I wish this wasn't the final Inside the NBA of the season.

Just imagine Chuck in a yellow speedo.

 

[random25]

I guess, I mean there's nobody Lebron Caliber moving this year. Bulls are trending downwards with the headcoaching shenanigans going on right now and Rose lookin broken. Hawks- nah, Bucks will be interesting I guess. I dunno it's obviously way too early, and there are some good names out there, but it will take a lot with the state of the east.

Paul George will come back for us!

I'll just wait for offseason moves to be over before making some predictions on the early favorites.

 

[MIMIC]

If we win a few games (at least 4), I'll be happy

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Better than whatever Cavs fans are using for their justification though now isn't it? Lebron is gonna shoot 80% from the field and guard 3 guys at once something something.

 

[neptunes]

Sports are unpredictable, the NBA isn't.

Why waste your time watching and complaining then? seems counterproductive to your beliefs no?

Whether or not you think the NBA is unpredictable is subjective.

All sports is unpredictable, I thought the Seahawks were a shoe-in to win the Lombardi in February.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Lol. No need to imagine it now.

 

[the_sun_king]

The worst thing about the end of the Playoffs.

 

[slightconfuse]

Cavs still have a solid team without love. Kyrie needs to be a 100%.

 

[TheSadRanger]

Seeing Shawn Marion get to the Finals again before Dirk.. ;_;

Dirk didn't deserve these past four years ;_;

 

[effzee]

I'm really happy for Lebron, but man, all this and Dan Gilbert makes me still want Cleveland to lose. Sorry to all the good fans, but stuff like this reminds me of Eagles fans. And I can't stand them.

The FUCK?

Y'all have fed into the stupid narrative way too much. Every fanbase has their contingent of stupid ass fans who, especially when drunk, do terrible things. You think Philly has the market on that?

Cleveland has been known for tons of terrible fan behavior.

Lastly fuck off.

 

[msdstc]

No no no, no you don't understand... no. oh.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Watching teams like the Warriors and Spurs is nice basketball. But if you want unpredictability you'd be better off with just about any other sport, historically speaking.

 

[alr1ght]

All the tears bringing up Dan Gilbert.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Better than whatever Cavs fans are using for their justification though now isn't it? Lebron is gonna shoot 80% from the field and guard 3 guys at once something something.

But there are serious delusions that GSW will sweep the Cavs as if that something that is on the money.

The fact that GSW couldn't close Houston says what about their stats? Nothing, because stats don't win championship.

Blame Cuban for playing it cheap after they won their 1st NBA chip.

 

[jman2050]

Lebron needs to start shooting again and not clanking shit, Kyrie needs to be at prime level and not be a sieve on defense, and Thompson and Dellevedova needs to continue doing what they're doing and THEN maybe it'll be a series.

There's pretty much no room for error, and it's hard to bet in favor of that.

That's just a matter of opinion.

and are you aware of the NBA champs over the past 15 years?

What does win championships? I'm all ears.

and are you aware of the NBA champs over the past 15 years?

Uhh isn't that exactly my point? It's pretty much been Lakers/Spurs for the last 15 years winning. Not very unpredictable. This year was supposed to be the year anything could happen and yet here we are with 1 and 2 seeds in the conference finals and Lebron James in his 5th finals in a row. Come on now.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

LeBron

 

[Godslay]

Funny how they burned his jerseys and cussed him out less then a year ago.

#cle"fans"

I can understand the hate. The Bears are Browns tier, and Lebron owns the Bulls.

Officials of the game

Lmao. That drawing in the back.

 

[Furyous]

 

[TheSadRanger]

holy shit, I'm dying at that inside the NBA poster with the drawings of the guys

edit LMAO SHAQ "I always knew you were black Ernie" ROFL

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

LeBron

2-3 Finals record seems to disagree.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Yo...

If K-Love doesn't re-sign....


....Paul Millsap is an unrestricted free agent. Make it happen, Gilbert. He'd be a perfect fit.

 

[sooperkool]

See what i mean, where is james Jones on your graphic??

 

[cubicle47b]

Black Ernie.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

What does win championships? I'm all ears.

It has different meanings. It could be heart, it could be strength, it could be the drive to not be the loser, it could be money etc but stats is not the end all be all and it never will. Injuries are unpredictable and that can happen at any time, and there is no stat in the world that would cause any team to win if everyone they need to win is gone. Except, if your name is Lebron James.

So you said you like watching the way the spurs and warriors play, but feel the NBA is too predictable?

What was your opinion on the 2013-2014 finals? who did you pick before it began? was that series predictable in your opinion?

and someone let me know if this guy is just troll bait, before I waste more energy

[alr1ght]

You guys are getting worked. Join in on the fishing with the Hawks.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

100% win percentage in the finals after next month

James Jones didn't appear in the 2011 finals.

 

[suberzat]

I believe the Warriors will win but dont get too cocky

 

[Big Baybee]

Barkley is dumb as hell lol
