So am I supposed to be impressed that it took Lebron 7 games to beat a team missing its 2 top stars in Hayward and Irving?

Because like Smart, he's just a role player.

Ainge finally hit on a guy in Tatum, but he's missed a *lot* in the draft. Ainge is weird. He's done some amazing shit, like fleecing Brooklyn and getting Stevens to coach the team, but Boston has accumulated so many assets, it's astounding that Ainge has accumulated so few good players with as many draft picks as they've had.

The difference in conferences is utterly emabrassing.

Former coach looking out for coach. Not a surprise.

It’s a joke. People want to talk about the team around Lebron, but won’t acknowledge that the team around Tatum isn’t any better. They were all awful tonight, including Horford

Considering LeBron's supporting cast is shit, yes.

Hayward is NOT one of their top two stars.

I'd say that's fair, though I'd say this Celtics team is better defensively. The Celtics have a bright future for sure. I can't believe the Sixers and Celtics passed on Tatum, awful.

By your logic it’s better to let it get to 7 games.

It doesn’t matter. Nobody is gonna beat the Warriors anyway. I wish Irving and Hayward were healthy this year.

We are about 4 weeks away from "LeBron won't make the Finals!" making its annual shift to "Of course LeBron made the Finals, East is whack!"

Most consecutive Finals appearances, by some all time greats:
MJ- 3
Magic- 4
Kareem- 4
Bird- 4
Kobe- 3
Shaq- 3

LeBron- 8
