Don’t write off Tatum completely yet. I also don’t want to jinx it and find that pathetic Celtics team back in the Finals again.

Lebron got to further pad his career stats and didn’t get hurt. It’s a win win.

No chance Miami blows it. Butler and Spo will finish the Celtics.

But the Nuggets are winning it all either way.

Correct. He secured GOAT status after leading his team back from 3-1 to a 73 win Warriors team almost seven years ago now. It’s all been gravy since then.

And considering he’s still able to average a triple double in the WCFs in year 20 at age 39 on a messed up foot, I’d say it’s a fair bet he’s got plenty of years left to go (might even be able to get to 2030 if he wants?) Time to break all the individual records before his time is up.

Boston is a significantly more talented team than Miami. Now they don’t have their heart but there is a chance that talent all shows up at some point. They’ve got a chance unfortunately.

I’m also not sure Miami is actually a better team with Tyler Herro playing 30+ minutes a game. He helps them score and takes the load off Jimmy but does nothing defensively for you (unlike Lowry or Vincent). What happens when he comes back to that team?

Because LeBron is my favorite player & every time he loses for the last 20 years the Airsexuals come out to talk shit even though now LeBron is averaging a 23 point triple double in the Conference Finals at the same age MJ was shooting like Dillon Brooks for a non-playoff team. https://t.co/NikbYDQuez

No idea how Russell played 20 minutes in a must-win game as bad as he's looked this postseason (and in this series especially).

News flash, asshole, he's been garbage the entire time. -Dennis Reynolds

Did you folks seriously not see him in Minnesota?!?

I’ve seen him his entire career and have hated his game for all of it. He’s terrible in the worst ways and it is bizarre Ham let him cost the team the series.

If Boston is out, it looks like it.

Kobe Jeter is not the second best player of all time. He is like the 6th best to ever play for Lakers franchise - LeBron, Kareem, Magic, Wilt and Shaq all better than Kobe Jeter.
