The 'swipe left for success' Eastern Conference Finals thread

[jdz101]

Immensely proud of the Celtics.

Immensely in awe of lebron james.

Some times you've just got to say fair play.

Hopefully we'll get this opportunity again with a bit more experience up and down the lineup soon.

If the Cavs win this thing....

There is no discussion.. LeGOAT JAYMMEEE

Jordan will be criticised for wearing lebrons number

A Sixers fan talking about Ls.

Laughable.

Be fair mate. He's a poster just like all of us, and is entitled to post an opinion. It is akin to saying posters of your team carlton cant comment on other teams who lose.

Nothing personal but as good as some of their players are, they aren't exciting sometimes. As I said very methodical, and that gets results, but as a neutral, I want to be entertained. I'd rather watch Lebron. I love watching Houston and I love barracking for any side against GSW!

my thoughts exactly

 

[Warsaw]

Like Embiid did in the handshake line?

A Sixers fan talking about Ls.

Laughable.

Goddamn this is beautiful. Mission Accomplished.

I need a Gus swipe for the trifecta tho.

This is Lebron’s greatest achievement, forget how “easy” the East is.
The Cavs without Bron are worse than Brooklyn, Atlanta, Sacramento, Phoenix.

Throw in....lost Kyrie
Love missed huge chunks early with mental issues
Roster gets turned over
Coach misses games crook
Korver’s brother dies a week before the playoffs
That’s just the tip off the iceberg.
Would the Bulls of the 90’s be as bad without MJ as the Cavs without Lebron?
No!!!
Would MJ at his prime get this bunch of misfits through the east?
No!!!!!

 

[DarwinRoo]

Would this Cavs team get out of the first round in MJ’s time? No!

It was a long time ago when they started this season with IT3

It’s a pretty stupid argument you’re making arguing that prime MJ wouldn’t get a team through this East.

I’d back multiple all time greats to drag this Cavs team to the finals. Bird, MJ, Duncan, Kareem and Wilt all could do it in my opinion.

Especially in this Eastern Conference. Still, not taking anything away from Lebron, the bloke is unbelievable. Not sure why it needs to become "Lebron is better than MJ because of so-and-so...'

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Good call.
IMO things were opened up a bit without Love.

That’s the way Love goes

 

[bourbons]

JVG basically saying rest of the Cavs team is trash

He's right, though. Getting that roster to a Finals won't be up there with LeBron's greatest achievements but it should be.

Would this Cavs team get out of the first round in MJ’s time? No!

Why do you say that?

 

[peternorth]

Dont come at me with harden is the mvp crap. No one else could do this with this trash roster

MVPs are judged upon the regular season.

It’s pretty obvious why.

It doesn't "need" to, but LeBron is clearly the best player of his generation just like MJ was, the comparison is going to happen.

Not sure why its such a big deal to be honest. People act like you're slaughtering a sacred cow just talking about it

Where did all the Boston fans go?

We have jobs.

Well done to LeBron. He deserves to be in the NBA finals such were his herculean efforts in the series.

Very few of his team's mates deserve to be there though.
