How's the game?

I'm at the dealership picking up my new Meccamobile and they are playing guardians of the Damn galaxy because it's a ton of kids in here.

He's gonna be the GOAT before long. If he isn't already.

I think right now he's top 3.

He's rewriting the record books. Like him or not he's a great talent. And is probably the best all around player I've ever watched. The only other player I would put in the conversation is Magic.

They also doubled Victor on numerous occasions. Will be interesting how the Pacers coaching adjusts. Myles Turner has to provide something. At least protect the rim better. Thaddeus/Sabonis/Turner need to put a strong body on Thompson. Pacers out rebounded by 7, but offensive rebounds, CAVS HAVE 17 MORE FG ATTEMPTS. Yikes! With all this being said, i still wouldnt feel bad about where they are at currently. All things considered.

If Cavs increase lead at start of 3rd, its over.

Beg to differ. The ring he won in Cleveland he faced the same GS team he faced his first year in Cleveland, it was essentially the same two teams. His mind set and domination in that series that won him a ring in Cleveland should have been there in the first Finals and he'd have 2 rings with the Cavs instead of 1. Last year, yes GS was the better team, but you give me this effort we see today in the first two series against GS and the Cavs have won 2 of the last 3 Finals.

And him not meshing with Wade? They are best friends, they play fine together. That Heat team should have at the VERY LEAST won 3 out of 4 titles. Losing to Dallas was an upset.

No.

He and Wade are friends and they like each other. But their games didn't mesh at all.

Both needed the ball in their hands and neither could shoot when they were in Miami. They were both willing passers, so it worked well enough, but they were far from ideal complimentary pieces. In fact, by their last year together, all of Miami's best lineups were with wade on the bench.

As for Cleveland, you are wrong. GS had the better team. I am not going to go into all the things that had to fall right to allow Cleveland to win, but GS was the overwhelming favorite and they should have been.

Jordan's Bulls were the Warriors of their era. They never had to beat a superior team during their run. They should have won and they did. Yet, people want to use Finals record as a conversation stopper, which is BS.

Cleveland might make the Finals this year, but they have no chance to beat GS. If LeBron drags this sorry bunch there, it only moves him closer to MJ, but some will manufacture a narrative to make it seem like failure.

This team would win 25 games without LeBron.

It can be a bit rural in the part of Arizona that we live in.

So, I went Native...

What are you getting?

James is dominating and TT got a start and his balls back.
