Jordan who? Unreal.
LEBRON JAMES!!!!!
Safe to say all Cleveland fans miss Isaiah Thomas
Raptors act like they won on the tie shot. Ummmm.....8 seconds left and LeBron. You lose.
That was a pretty sweet ending.
Just unreal.
Awesome shot and lebron is the GOAT, but sheesh how many more 15+ point leads are we going to blow? We were up 17 and Toronto had NOTHING going for them. The game was over. Yet somehow we let them back in. Eventually that’s going to come back and haunt us. Lebron can’t bail them out every game.

You just knew it was going to happen...somehow, even without DeRozan. Several of his teammates were helpful and did what they do but whatever the reason it’s leading to some incredible GW shots by the King.
The part that sucks is Philly can’t win a game so this series ending in 4 or 5 isn’t going to give him any rest

I think Philly could win games 4 and 5 and extend it. But even if both Boston and Cleveland sweep, won't they sitll get a rest? I thought the games were already planned on the schedules?

Conference finals are slated to start May 15. I think I saw that they could be moved up to the 13th or 14th. Finals will start May 31.
I would assume if both series end in a sweep, it will start on the 13th. So still almost a full week off.

I was being pretty anti social at the party I was at yesterday and then scared the shit out of everyone when Lebron hit the dagger. I agree it shouldn’t have cane down to that. It already has screwed the cavs before, but man that rush was worth it lol. They have been turning playoff blowouts into close games many times since Lebron has been back. It never makes sense to me why they let off the gas. 2-3 more minutes of focused b-ball and the game is a comfortable win. I’ll give Toronto some credit though, they couldn’t miss that 4th quarter and took advantage of the cavs dicking around .

I’m lretty surprised Philly is down 0-3. I think some on here were overrating them considering how young they are, but I figured they would have 1 win against Boston without their best players.

I believe is planned on schedule. If cavs and Boston sweep, they aren’t going to start the ECF when the west still has some games to play. Rest is more helpful for an older team like the cavs than it is for a young team like the Celtics.

Sounds beneficial...hopefully

Surprised Simmons had a historically bad game and couldn’t believe how bad Embiid was in OT
LeBron is just unreal.

Yep Lue is still drawing up some great plays when they are needed!
^^^^^^ Ha Ha! That's actually pretty much how it went!
SC’s top 10 was LeBron’s GW from 10 different camera angles. Pretty cool
Gotta give Lue credit on the last play. Sure LeBron made his move, and he play was get LeBron the ball. But, not advancing the ball there was a very, very smart decision. Not sure many, if any, coaches would do that.

I didn’t think they had any timeouts

I agree. That's what was being talked about last night about how Hubie questioned it.
IMO, to take the full court in bounds to LeBron over the half court was very very smart.
The Cavs didn’t have any timeouts. They couldn’t advance the ball.
Idk the rules on advancing the ball as it pertains to timeouts but if you look at the play by play after Anunoby makes the tying three pointer with eight seconds left it says Cavs call full timeout.

Oh good catch. I didn’t see it live, so I was only going on what the ESPN score-bug said. Which obviously was after the 3.
With the time it took, it had to be a timeout. I'm gonna see about this.
