To be honest this cavs team is easily the worst in the playoffs. Last game the starters scored 27 between them and Lebron had 46 alone. I think there is greatness in carrying a hopeless team which cavs are. And all respect to Lebron and the guys that showed up tonight to get that win.
To go to 2 games 7s and have 6 or 7 40+ point games is phenomenal. So you need to respect the mans achievements. Substitute him with any other player and cavs wouldn’t be here.
I had them losing the first round so he proved me wrong and I’m a huge fan. How the haters have any ammunition after what he did this playoffs is puzzling. And fair enough he will probably lose to a team with 4 hall of famers in a fortnight but he took a team of nobodies through a though east coast with only 1 walk over seriers.
And with the Kyrie thing. If cavs lost it would have been beat a team with no Kyrie, no Hayward etc (even though the team got there With no Hayward all season he is still used as an excuse).
Now that they won it seems to lessen what he did because they didn’t have Kyrie..... let’s not forget that this team made the conference final and was 10-0 on their home court.... but hey it means nothing because Kyrie wasn’t there (like he hasn’t been there for the last 2 months
)
I won’t debate who is better between him and Jordan. But all I will say is we are witnessing greatness. And if he can get a consistent shoot team around him who can rebound the ball and have a solid big man to play interior defence then he will definitely add to the 3 championships he has already.
If he manages to fluke one this year (I’m giving it no chance) then it will be one of the greatest sporting achievements of the last 50 years.
