    Idk how I feel though.

    One hand, I love this team. They were one win away from the NBA finals with bench players and rookie/2 year players. The Bucks series was the expectation. To make it this far? Its one of the greatest runs I've ever witnessed.

    On the other hand... All the missed open shots... We beat ourselves. I can't believe how many open 3s we missed. It hurts because we had an actual shot to go to the Finals.

    Future is bright, as I've said all thread. I don't think a team is f---ing with us at full strength. But the loss really hurts.

    Idk if the finals will be boring. Cavs beat them before. I don’t see them getting swept taking it to at least game 6, probably 7.

    You haven't watched enough NBA then lol. Cavs or Celtics have ZERO shot.

    Cavs will lose in 4. It's gonna be ugly.

    Celtics wouldn't do any better lol.

    Would love if the Rockets pull it out & then the Cavs can go up against a CP3-less Rockets team.

    That's what I was hoping too. I just don't see how they can beat Warriors without him.

    I'm praying for you though. I might be salty but I HATE Durant.

    But Warriors are impossible to stop. Celtics at full strength have a shot but that's it.

    Hoping Bron can steal a game though. His playoff run really is incredible. For everyone saying he's GOAT though, this playoff run was routine for Jordan. It sucks that it took LeBron this long to get that killer mentality (until his 30s, when you have a super team like Warriors).

    It sucks so much the Warriors are gonna get blessed by another major injury that makes their chances so much better.. I really think with a healthy CP3 the Rockets would have won the series already.

    Like I watched Jordan and LeBron and hated Jordan/love LeBron.

    Jordan is the best I've ever seen. But LeBron in the last few years has been a LOT like Jordan.

    I just can't forget the years before, where he was a stat machine, but folded and quit in big moments. Where he folded vs Celtics twice, vs Spurs and vs Mavs AND I feel he quit in last years Finals (forget which game it was, where he passed it to Kyrie when Curry was on LeBron). As a LeBron supporter, it really hurts his legacy to me, because Jordan was balls to the wall every playoff game and series. Even ones he lost, he'd go completely off.

    But the 2012 ECF vs Celtics, the first finals vs Warriors (where they lost), the 3-1 comeback and this year's playoff run? Totally Jordan level and should be celebrated.

    But that's really all I'm giving him. Those are the years and instances where he's been GOAT level. It goes beyond rings and stats. One of Jordan's most amazing feats was dropping 63 on one of the best teams ever in the Celtics. He got swept but it was incredible. Or the times he kept coming at the Pistons even though they beat the h--- out of him (like literally beat him)

    Im pretty sure LeBron averaged a triple double in the loss against the Spurs and the one last year. And yeah even that 2015 finals (the first L to the Warriors) there were talks on whether he deserved to be finals MVP. LeBron will always turn up.

    I maybe very ignorant saying this... but I have many theories as to why the era of basketball is stronger than the 90s :')

    Yeah but those are great stats... I'm just telling you guys, Jordan goes beyond stats lol. I can't explain it if y'all didn't witness it.

    Its like I always said with Brady vs Manning. Brady will give you every ounce of his body and every second of a game. He'll take brutal shots and still thrive, while Manning used to pad his stats.

    Its hard to make the analogy because its two different sports, but that's the point I'm making. Jordan was a pitbull. He'd get mauled and he'd keep coming.

    Does LeBron do that? Yeah at times, and its incredible when he does... But Jordan was a pitbull all game long. He was just relentless. You had to literally beat the guy down to beat him, and even then it didn't matter.

    I've watched LeBron reserve energy and calculate too much in his career. There was no calculating with Jordan. He was gonna beat you, one way or the other.

    As amazing as Bron was let's keep in mind most had the Cavs as the favorites in this series and it took till late in game 7 for them to win.

    I don't think CP3 will be 100% tomorrow even if he plays, Curry or Durant will probably go off..I think the Warriors win a close game, but who knows..Harden's gonna need to do what Bron did today if not more for the Rockets to win.
