They are clearly fouls

Yes they are.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

This is just an unreal bad shooting night for the Celtics.

Boston missing their 2 best players, its a wonder they pushed the Cavs this far.

 

[volsarelife1]

Lol. These calls.

Gotta get LeBron to the finals

Guess the refs caused them to shoot 6/36 on 3s

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

What about this one? Bad call too?

 

[Lawrence Wright]

Rozier and Smart were awful tonight.

 

[Lawrence Wright]

Lol. These calls.

Gotta get LeBron to the finals

Not sure if serious.

 

[Cdywolfe]

Lol. These calls.

Gotta get LeBron to the finals

Lol... I plan on feasting on tears of the haters tonight. Thanks for the appetizer.

 

[LittleCat]

Celtics picked a bad night to go completely cold. But all props to Lebron and company.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Pretty sure we know how this will end.

And we did.

Now I have to root for the damn Warriors.

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

And we did.

Now I have to root for the damn Warriors.

Or Rockets?

 

[Lawrence Wright]

And we did.

Now I have to root for the damn Warriors.

It beats having to choose between Alabama and Georgia for the national title.

And Houston might have something to say about who you’ll have to root for.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Or Rockets?

No, I mean I have to be for the Warriors if I don't want the Cavs to win the whole thing. I don't think the Rockets will beat them, I do think the Warriors will.

Ahh, gotcha.

A) I'll believe it when I see it, just like I said I'd believe it when I see it that the Celtics would elminate the Cavs.

B) See my response to Ben. I don't want the Cavs to win the title, and I don't think the Rockets would beat them.

Also I already think Warriors/Cavs is choosing between Georgia and Alabama. I'm sick of both teams.

 

[zjcvols]

Is it bad when your two lead guards go 3-23? Is that bad?

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Wow, what a series.

 

[Kingston Vol]

He is the greatest of all time.

There is no debate.

 

[KoachKrab127]

He is the greatest of all time.

There is no debate.

He's great, but he hasn't had enough iconic Finals moments to pass Jordan. He's had some great moments in the Finals (a real stinker as well), but not as many good moments as Jordan. This is coming from a huge LeBron fan.

8 straight finals appearances is an amazing accomplishment, and he's had more difficult competition than Jordan did in the Finals, but 6 Finals MVPs vs. 3, gotta go with the guy who got 6.

We'll see what happens this year though. LeBron could shock the world again, just like he did in 2016. Mot likely, but it could happen.

Go Rockets! I do not want to see the same teams 4 years in a row.

 

[Cdywolfe]

He is the greatest of all time.

There is no debate.

I’m on the fence but definitely leaning more towards MJ. With that said, if he pulls of a miracle this year that’ll most likely be enough to convince me it’s the other way around.

 

[n_huffhines]

Lebron is the ****, but all I can think about is Tatum's dunk.

 

[Lawrence Wright]

He is the greatest of all time.

There is no debate.

By “he”, you must mean MJ.

For now at least.

Lebron has had 5 outstanding finals appearances. MJ had 3

 

[zjcvols]

Bron went 35-15-9 on 50% shooting and I actually said “yeah he was good but that wasn’t a classic” in a Road game 7 win LMAO dudes a legend

 

[PowerT83]

Lebron has had 5 outstanding finals appearances. MJ had 3

I'm pretty sure MJ averaged over 33 points a game in every finals series with the exception of the Sonics series.

LeBron has faced some tough opposition, but Jordan beat better teams and the freaking mafia.

Go Rockets! I do not want to see the same teams 4 years in a row.

In all fairness, LBJ should have 4 NBA Finals MVPs (the Finald Iggy won it), but I agree with most everything else.

Definitely go Rockets! I don't see hoe they can win without a healthy CP3, seeing as how Playoffs Harden is likely to make another infamous appearance.
