He. will. Be. Healthy. Next. Season. Why don’t y’all get this

He's never been healthy his whole life, he's only getting older and will be expecting a max. IT was traded under the same circumstances. Kyrie isn't THAT much better or younger than thomas was

If bron wins this chip, I have to get the hate out of my heart and admit he is 1B.

Cavs gotta try to trade Love and the #8 pick for a good player.

So if GSW and CLE get to the finals

Love doesn't come back, Lebron has multiple final games like this one and he beats the GSW for his 4th ring.

Is he GOAT?

I've never considered Lebron as GOAT, but this hypothetical scenario has me thinking.

 

[Peep Game]

Lebron playing nearly every minute just to extend getting smoked next game in Boston. This has been a fun ride for the Cavs

How many post seasons has he been healthy in his career?

 

[youngwolf]

Not pulling out of doris burke?

I'm almost positive you don't have to worry about that with her.

Jordan couldn't come back from 3-1 against the 73-9 GSW. Just saying

what makes me continuously root for bron
isn't just how he lived up to his expectations
coming straight from high school
but how he carries himself off the court
never gets in trouble
willing to speak up on social issues
and be a role model
and take ownership of that responsibility
thats why i will always root for dude

but he's "corny" and has bad hair line so lets pick on him.

I don't get it. So many females in here caring about the stuff that don't matter.

Wouldn't goats not need elimination games?

It's all a matter of statistics. Scraping by vs dominating? The best of the best may have never faced true elimination games. And how many of these were when the NBA went to 7 games in the first round. Quarterfinal elimination is far different than finals elimination games. I'd take one dagger over a 20 game record of barely making it out alive. Just saying.

 

[Proposition Joe]

Lebron is already the GOAT.

Those two 3's

First off
Let’s hypotheically assume Celtics want to get rid of Kyrie, who can they get in fair value that will get his production?
Second, using IT as an example is laughable when he doesn’t have the same skills let alone resume as Kyrie.
I know you hate the Celtics, which I do too, but let’s be realistic here, there’s no good reason to get rid of a scorer like Kyrie unless the return is greater than Kyrie himself.

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Man was at benihana sounds like LeGoat did goat things once again

 

[leavemeglazzies]

Love played 5 minutes tonight, but the Celtics still managed to make 2-3 wide open layups with him "defending" the paint in the little time he played.

Dude is beyond trash. Because it was a home game, his injury was a blessing in disguise. Unfortunately, the Cavs role players suck on the road.

Celtics are dying to give away a guy that averaged 24PPG on 49/41/89 splits.

 

[EddieDoyers]

He was only out for one finals for the Cavs and this postseason for the Celtics.

 

[superblytrife]

Gonna be at a wedding for Game 7. Damn man.

I was at a wedding for Game 1. AirPod in the left ear came in clutch.

My wife wasn’t thrilled, but she understood. Worked out well since that game was decided mad early.

Screw this post game interview. Looking for this Strangers 2 stream before calling for Chinese

I have the HD stream if you'd like it.

They're one game away from the finals and Kyrie hasn't played since March. They don't need to replace his value, they just need something close. He has no value when he's in street clothes. Not hard to replace that.

IT averaged 29 ppg on 46/38/90 at age 28 for Boston. Kyrie was at 24 on 49/40/89. He'll be 27 in a contract year with an extensive history of injury. That's laughable?

Luckily they have Nance and Clark and Hood so this is possible.

There’s nobody I can even think of that would be available to them for that package that would improve them enough to make it worth it for him to stay. They’d still be capped out and not be able to add any other decent pieces.
