    Lebron doesn't get to play game 7 at home. Celtics will finish this sunday.

    Lackadaisical defense, turnovers, and subpar offense

    We’ll, at this point in Lebrons career I won’t be betting against him to lose game 7. I will say it’s weird how each of these teams looks so different on the road.

    I'm not betting on him to lose. I'm rooting for the Celtics to win. I've seen lebron James in the finals for the last decade. Celtics make it interesting.

    I understand why people feel that way, but I think Lebron has a better chance to beat Houston or GS (Not that either team have a great shot).

    Are Kyrie and Hayward really their two best players? I'd rather have Tatum and Brown and Horford.

    Probably. And, if the cavs make it than cool. Not too horribly invested. As long Houston loses I'd be happy.

    Yes they are. If Boston had a healthy Irving and Hayward, cavs would already be out.

    I'd take Horford over Hayward, but they're two of the top 3, yes.

    Kyrie is about as good as Dame. Kyrie is definitely better than those guys. C'mon now.

    Westbrook is somewhere laughing at Lebron not getting the triple double.

    Again this series has gone as I predicted after game one. I hope I am wrong in game 7, but I will not bet against LBJ in game 7. Not when Boston relies on a rookie in clutch situations.

    It's funny how people say they're not gonna bet against LeBron even though this is his worst team since he first left Cleveland.. meanwhile people have consistently bet against Boston and been proven wrong.
