Strange game somewhat for the Celtics at home.
Finals Butler is just a cheat code

This game was another example of how Boston managed to pull a defeat from the jaws of victory.
The best team with so many weapons in clutch situations plays like they do not believe in themselves and go to the individual-hero game. Often, that person is Tatum. End even he changes his game, instead of driving to the rim, he goes to 3-pointers or jumpers 😢

Nuggets beat the Lakers today. I just watched the highlights but I reckon Jokic can play a lot better and he was good.

My celts have completely shit the bed.
Wish they would trade Tatum.
Would have sold a kidney to get KD

I just watched the Lakers get knocked out. LeBron was great but he couldn't make some tough shots at the clutch. Jokic made some huge shots for the win.

Le wrong is a pathetic woke individual, been a great player BUT

LA improved when they changed the direction and traded Westbrook, but they still need a reliable 3+D player, to compete with teams that can handle AD.
They cannot get 30+ FTs every game.

People expect a 38 year old Lebron to carry his team to the finals... shows how truly great he is

The Joker is a freak.

He is so good. I reckon AD is their best player but Lebron was I think the best player out there today on both teams. Jokic just delivered at the end of the game.

People won't realise Lebrons greatness until he officially retires. They'll look back in awe at his career the same way people do with Jordan.

I hear what you are stating but I disagree. I am old enough to remember Jordan playing for the Bulls live on like Channel 10 and he was unreal. I'm not going to state Jordan is better than Lebron though.

Lebeon is an all time great and I can't split those two players.

The only thing against him is I'm 100% sure his longevity has been helped by PED's but he is still so so good. Every great player in the future will be on the special juice as well.

Oh I wasn't trying to say Lebron is better haha just simply saying everyone looks back on how great Jordan was but Lebron won't truly be appreciated until he retires & people actually put into perspective the career he's had.

I'm in my 50s & watched Jordan & Lebron play their whole careers. Lebron is definitely the better player.

I'm not game to say that yet but I get it. He is so good.

IMHO, he should be the MVP, for three years in a raw.

I think a better option is to compare players by a position they played,
eg. the best 5 - Olajuwon, O'Neill, Chamberlain, Russell
best 4 - Durant, Duncan, K Malone, Nowitzki
best 3 - Bird, Barkley, LBJ, J Erving, D Wilkins
best 2 - Bryant, Drexler, Jordan, Miller
best 1- E Johnson, Curry, Stockton, Robertson, I Thomas

Maybe. I don't like the whole idea of who is better over time etc. It's so subjective. What a sport though. How many great players have their been.
LeBron must be the best 3. Was Charles a 3 or a 4 ?

Jokic is doing stuff I've never seen a big man do. He gets rebounds and runs it up the floor like a point guard. Today he hit a 3 just because he had to shoot because the shot clock was running down. He hit clutch plays as well. So many good centres though.
