1. What an incredible game! Yowza!

[malaise]

2. Unbelievable

Final #8 for LeBron!

[Mosby]

13. He played the entire game, last time he did that was 2006.

3. I thought MJ was the greatest player I'd seen---after tonight I think it's LeBron James.

[redstateblues]

14. I had the same thought

[Garrett78]

17. LeBron is a better overall player in my book.

That LeBron is not expected to win the MVP Award is outrageous. Cleveland is nothing without him, whereas Houston would still be decent without Harden.

4. Don't care about basketball

but LeBron James is a hero in my book for his social activism. I hope I live long enough for him to get old enough for me to vote for him for President.

6. He is very vocal supporting progressive causes and providing educational scholarships

[Blue_true]

10. He seems to be a solid family guy also, and stays out of trouble.

Not a single incident with him in his career that I heard of.

5. It was a good game

I fear for my Warriors, although they were great in the 2ND half last night. Rockets have a good team this year.

8. I got a good feeling bout our Dubs ...

Think of the records about to be set when they win ...
1) Already the first time since 1979 that both Conferences went to Game 7
2) Pretty sure that if the Dubs win it'll be the first time ever that the above happened and BOTH road teams won and advanced, but I can't swear to it ...
3) Pretty sure it'll be the first time ever that the same 2 teams went to the finals 4 years in a row
4) Then of course there's James going for the 8th time straight ... has that happened ... ever?

I think we're heading for a historic matchup ... if CP3 can't go the Warriors are the better team even w/o Iggy ... and Harden is famous for choking under pressure. I have a good feeling about tomorrow.

Not a huge James 'fan' myself, but ... Respect. That dude is nothing short of amazing. 8 years straight in the playoffs, and never lost a series other than in the Finals? Incredible.

15. Who are the dubs

[Takket]

18. Warriors

[mr_lebowski]

21. Short for Double U ...

Kinda unfortunate given the history of 'W', but ... yeah. It's the lazy way to reference the Warriors ...

[StevieM]

19. Yep. It would be the first time that the same two teams played each other for four straight years.

I was surprised. I figured that in the 70s or 80s there would have been a four year run of the Lakers versus the Celtics.

From 57-61 the Celtics played the St. Louis Hawks four times in five years. And from 62-66 the Celtics played the Lakers four times in five years.

22. Good points

Hope you are right!

7. LeBron is carrying this team on his back

Amazing player he is.

[oasis]

9. Labron had a gem of a block on Roziers attempted slam dunk in 3rd Q.

That one's for the ages.

[oberliner]

11. Rozier couldn't make a shot

That certainly didn't help things for Boston. He had some open looks too.

[Guilded Lilly]

12. CAVS. The King. Yowzaaaaaa!!!!!

[gratuitous]

16. That was a pretty good effort by James

I'd be more impressed if he played in the Western Conference, where the best teams play, and have played throughout his career.

20. Funny

Thanks for the laugh.
