This series is just like Pistons last year, they kept it close each game. Pacers are a tough team, they might be a 7th seed but George is a superstar and pacers is a gritty team. That type of team is better in the playoffs.
When Cavs lose during the regular season: "Lebron doesn't have help! Their bench is overrated! They're a bunch of has-beens!" When Cavs win: "Lebron is a great GM, he picks the right guys for the job!" Lebron is an *amazing* player, best in the world, but this is ridiculous.
Same here.... it's disgusting. I mean they even brush over Kobe like he didn't have a career or has gotten 5 rings. Lebron,imo, hasn't passed Kobe yet for them to be talking about MJ. MJ was 6 for 6.... Kobe (the closest thing to MJ) is 5 of 7.... Lebron is 3 of 7. I uderstand he has stats but that doesn't determine if you're the better player. Lebron is a great overall player who plays the SF position who's athletically gifted. He doesn't take many shots because it's shaky so he drives in most of the times. Kobe is a slim 6'6 guy who shoots from everywhere in the court and has to be more of a finesse player. Even with him shooting all over the court every year he was top 3 in shooting % among shooting guards. The only players that shot a higher % were player that shot mainly from the inside like Wade. smh
+clo 1014 I luv kobe but don't try n change history n act like his first finals wasn't him being carried by shaq n in game 7 of 2010 shot 6-24 n dey still won so u can see role players r a big boost if it star is having a off night
Trayvon Etienne true, but like you said, *every* star player has help. Kobe helped Shaq in many games as well. Lebron didn't win anything until he joined superteams. No Ray Allen, no 2013 championship. That said, I don't think it's an entirely shut case between Lebron and Kobe. Kobe is much more of a finesse player, and it's much nicer to watch his basketball moves, rather than seeing Lebron barreling through the defense (although he has some kickass passes). But as an overall player, I'd give Lebron the upper hand.
Cavs sweeping the Pacers but my only concern for Cleveland is what Eddie said you can't give a team a 26 point lead or let them come back(Game 2) at some point going deep into the playoffs that's gonna bite the Cavs super hard playing against elite level defenses(Warriors & Spurs) Cavs gotta find that "switch" cause LeBron and Ky are human there is only so much they can do but they defense gotta clean up before the Finals because offense cant beat the Warriors or the Spurs.💯
Did LeBron really handpick the coach? You'd think he'd chose a coach with experience. Goes to show you that LeBron loves working with young talent. That ain't something you can say too often. Improves them both on and off the court. I don't know if it's exaggerated but I heard JR Smith was in a bad spot & LeBron "took him off the streets" & kept him in check. Haters can say list all of the men LBJ played with and tell him that he played with more superstars and hall of famers than Kobe and MJ. There's always an "And", an "If", and a "But" to it all. I heard Jr Smith was just an "Extra piece" to the 3 way trade which put Shump and him on the Cavs. I think it was Jr who was called "the extra piece" to the trade or maybe it was shump. Jr Smith was once called an "Extra piece". Really? An extra piece? LeBron was like "I'll take it!" LeBron brought back in James Jones, Mo Williams, and Birdman on his way back to Cleveland when he could have chosen better bench players since he was in "control" of what players were coming in and going out.
dombees all bc he played doesn't mean he is the only one that is credible, cant put a blanket on it like that. Pacers didnt collapse give the game to the cavs
Edis Delgado pacers did collapse I was watching the whole game. In the third quarter they literally started their plays with 10 seconds left in the possession. They got complacent and lost
CulpritTV No, seeding doesn't matter but the amount of talent does. Why else are people so mad KD signed with the Warriors? You think people are saying "seeding doesn't matter. They're all NBA players" or are they saying "Warriors have 4 all-stars and it's not fair." The latter. Talent matters. And the Pacers are out matched on talent. Cavs have three players. Pacers have one player. And in the fourth when it was just Paul George vs LeBron, LeBron was the better player(Best in the world. Paul George not even top 10 this year). Don't tell me you can't see that. Plus the Cavs supporting cast is better than Indiana's.
CulpritTV Coming from a Pacers fan; its really not that impressive to beat this team. Inconsistent all year, mediocre defense, mediocre offense, and terrible coaching. I knew coming in to the third that the Cabs were going to take the game. Not because of how great the Cavs are, but because of how mediocre the Pacers are. They get down 25 to the Warriors and they're toast.

So is being down by 26 and coming back to win concerning or is being down and losing worst like every other team that's allowed to lose. San Antonio was down close to 20 or 20 and waded up losing the game actually 2 games. Why can't Cleveland just live every team has an L except the warriors and the cavs.
Just think that LeBron surpass both Jordan and Kareem to become the all time playoff scorer during these playoffs. He is only 32 years old and still has a lot left in his tank. I think he will play 6 more years, and 4 of the 6 will be at a high level.
Markquel Smith They were down 25 points to the Pacers. If the Cave make it, they would be lucky to make it to a game 6 against the Warriors. Warriors are head and shoulders better than the field this year. It realistically isn't even close.
Nope… the same thing happens last year. You really don’t have a clue. Here is the skinny. The Warriors haven’t had no adversity this whole season. Except for Kevin Durant getting hurt and they still winning without him, also they have won 15 or 16 in the row? They haven't played any close games, this is the same problem that they had last season. GSW like to play the game up and down and real loosey-goosey... however, if the do play the Cavs. LeBron is the greatest player ever able to control the pace of the game and make it possession by possession game. GSW doesn't like to play that style of play. Cleveland can play both styles and beat you either way. In addition, this is the fourth game all season that the whole Cavs team was healthy and playing together. This is their training camp.The scary part of all of this they have 2 months to peak and put it together. GSW once again is peaking too early. I'd said this same quote last season.
These guys are so One Game minded lololol!! 1st game. Cavs should have lost the game but Pacers fell to capitalize... it was a close game 2 and Cavs had to overcome 26 points to win... On a team that's confidence were Blown out... No reason to worry? Lol keep Telling people how to feel!!
Bernard Keaton I would rather see the Wizards against the Warriors because it's gonna be nothing but excuses when Golden State mop the floor with Cleveland
Jr was useless before lebron Korver isn't a champ either is deron Williams. Remember lebron passing to deron Williams for a wide open game winning 3 that Williams missed in his cavs debut? if you think that was intentional by lebron to give deron confidence later your crazy

If I know they gonna lose based on who they struggling against now how am I a bandwagon I know the outcome although I am a fan of a team 😂😂 PS: I am a bandwagon tho 😂😂😂😂
Do you Cavs fans really think Warriors will give up another 3-1 lead? You need to get some sense of reality, Cavs was getting destroyed by Warriors before injuries happen. And now they have KD and even better team than last year...You keep thinking Lebron is going to do the impossible, but he isn't because Cavs might not even make it to the finals with that defense. Even Lebron knows himself its going to take some kind of miracle to beat the Warriors this year but hes not worrying about it.
David Moore Cosign. Last year was supposed to be back to back titles for GSW. Nobody really speaks on this point but Harrison Barnes in game 6 & 7 combined shot 2 for 22. His inability to make an open shot cost GSW the title and got him traded. Add the suspension of Draymond and Bogut's injury to Barnes poor shooting and it was a recipe for a Finals collapse and a Cavs win. The Cavs will not beat GSW in a rematch.
What's crazy is if you remember the Cavs had some tight games against the Pistons last year in the first round but it was still a sweep. So it's koo
Get the broom out folks!
why??? is lebron gonna start sweeping the streets in Cleveland after they get wiped out in finals ??
This series is just like Pistons last year, they kept it close each game. Pacers are a tough team, they might be a 7th seed but George is a superstar and pacers is a gritty team. That type of team is better in the playoffs.
Been saying the same thing man. Each game was competitive but you never truly felt like the Cavs would lose more than 1, if any.
Eddie House offers very refreshing perspectives...A Great addition to the S4Y rotation of pundits!!
Show so much better without Jason Shitlock
yes its
Barry Carter fact man. I can smell the fresh and intelligent air in the program
Barry Carter lmao..hella people hate on him smh..I personally think hes cool af bruh..
Barry Carter shitlock 😂😂😂 i agree!
Miztli Vasquez man he makes stupid opinionated arguments, he's basically Kristine, the only difference is Kristine is pretty af.
When Cavs lose during the regular season:
"Lebron doesn't have help! Their bench is overrated! They're a bunch of has-beens!"
When Cavs win:
"Lebron is a great GM, he picks the right guys for the job!"
Lebron is an *amazing* player, best in the world, but this is ridiculous.
Hamish Fernando you're so right. I'm sick of it.
Same here.... it's disgusting. I mean they even brush over Kobe like he didn't have a career or has gotten 5 rings. Lebron,imo, hasn't passed Kobe yet for them to be talking about MJ.

Love what y'all do, i live in Africa but your videos keep me updated on the happenings in the NBA. Big up

this was encouraging. when they wanted to really play d the d looked better than it has all year
Did LeBron really handpick the coach?

Navin is right...LeBron does well with Vets but has not proven the ability to lead a group of young'ins...yet
That's why he got rid of Wiggins...
I consider Kyrie, Kevin Love, Liggins, Mario Chalmers, and Tristan Thompson young guys.
Replace Colin with Nick Wright and it's a great panel... thank goodness for Eddie House
He knows he's going to have to guard either kawhi or Durant in finals that's why he's pacing himself.
What eddie house is wrong here (as in pacers did not collapse and give the game to the cavs), that what i got from what house said
Edis Delgado how? He's the only one that actually played basketball out of all of them. I'm pretty sure he has the most credibility
Edis Delgado cris played pg in college
Daz well rebounds do count as a possession so that is partially correct. Maybe he meant Westbrook got 200 more possessions than harden which is right
dombees all bc he played doesn't mean he is the only one that is credible, cant put a blanket on it like that. Pacers didnt collapse give the game to the cavs
Edis Delgado pacers did collapse I was watching the whole game. In the third quarter they literally started their plays with 10 seconds left in the possession. They got complacent and lost
Eddie house was right it's more the pacers blew it
playoff basketball means win and advance don't matter how you win. this is not college
I see a resemblance between tyron and chris
Bruh how much money does Lebron pay Colin to get on his knees and praise anything and everything he does
Good Cavs win or Bad Pacers loss????
these are NBA PLAYERS (PROS) GREAT COMEBACK SEEDING DON'T MATTER BECAUSE EVERY1 CAN'T JUST PLAY IN THE NBA....
CulpritTV No, seeding doesn't matter but the amount of talent does. Why else are people so mad KD signed with the Warriors? You think people are saying "seeding doesn't matter. They're all NBA players" or are they saying "Warriors have 4 all-stars and it's not fair." The latter. Talent matters. And the Pacers are out matched on talent. Cavs have three players.

RoseCurry AndDeRozan sounds like an excuse to me...its the NBA every1 there is qualified for that job...#StopItAlready
CulpritTV how is that an excuse? That's literally the facts. I'm not even a pacers fan. Lmao.
CulpritTV Coming from a Pacers fan; its really not that impressive to beat this team. Inconsistent all year, mediocre defense, mediocre offense, and terrible coaching. I knew coming in to the third that the Cabs were going to take the game. Not because of how great the Cavs are, but because of how mediocre the Pacers are.

I believe they all played the 4th lol that's why I think I don't know.
Why does everyone say that LeBron's the one who picks players? Surely this can't be true?
Westbrooks team mostly gone to WCF I mean come on this is stupid
Isnt this the same pacers team klay scored 60 on??
So is being down by 26 and coming back to win concerning or is being down and losing worst like every other team that's allowed to lose. San Antonio was down close to 20 or 20 and waded up losing the game actually 2 games. Why can't Cleveland just live every team has an L except the warriors and the cavs.

How do people think the cavs won't make it out of the East ?
Jack League they don't believe what they're saying they just want them to fail.
fuddyduddie1 As great as the Bucks have been they still can't beat the Cavs in a series.
Wizards have a chance to beat the Cavs
The Cavs could play Lebron Korver Richard Jefferson Channing Frye and Kay Felder and win the series
Cavaliers Will Win Title This Year
No
Markquel Smith preach brother
Markquel Smith 🤣🤣 over one game against the Pacers??
Markquel Smith They were down 25 points to the Pacers. If the Cave make it, they would be lucky to make it to a game 6 against the Warriors. Warriors are head and shoulders better than the field this year. It realistically isn't even close.
Nope… the same thing happens last year. You really don’t have a clue.
Here is the skinny. The Warriors haven’t had no adversity this whole season. Except for Kevin Durant getting hurt and they still winning without him, also they have won 15 or 16 in the row?
They haven't played any close games, this is the same problem that they had last season.
GSW like to play the game up and down and real loosey-goosey... however, if the do play the Cavs. LeBron is the greatest player ever able to control the pace of the game and make it possession by possession game.
GSW doesn't like to play that style of play. Cleveland can play both styles and beat you either way.
In addition, this is the fourth game all season that the whole Cavs team was healthy and playing together. This is their training camp.The scary part of all of this they have 2 months to peak and put it together.
GSW once again is peaking too early. I'd said this same quote last season.
LBJ HE IS THE KING OF NBA
These guys are so One Game minded lololol!! 1st game. Cavs should have lost the game but Pacers fell to capitalize... it was a close game 2 and Cavs had to overcome 26 points to win... On a team that's confidence were Blown out... No reason to worry? Lol keep Telling people how to feel!!
2017 NBA finals Warriors vs Wizards
trevion sewell W
I'd honestly rather have the Cavs over the Wizards. The Cavs are the ONLY shot at us having a good finals that doesn't end in a sweep.
trevion sewell Lol ...Your funny 😂😂😂😂
Bernard Keaton I would rather see the Wizards against the Warriors because it's gonna be nothing but excuses when Golden State mop the floor with Cleveland
trevion sewell My apologies ...
I thought I was talking to someone who knew basketball....
#King James 3- 4 in the finals ,took 2 rookie coaches to 6 Finals and Coach Brown to 1 #G.O.A.T
Cashchasing King 3-4 makes u the GOAT? Stop drinking that goat milk
fuddyduddie1 all i know is he didnt have phil jackson and he hasnt had consistancy with any coach for that matter.its evident he makes coaches,
but can they go down 25 on spurs or golden state
romo vincent didn't they lose by 33 points in game 2 vs the warriors and ended up beating them in the series?
romo vincent but they can go 3-1 down to the 72-9 warriors???
3-1
If Durant is healthy the Cavs will be sweep 4-0 lmao. That 3-1 was a fluke and the Warriors will prove it.
romo vincent If it was a fluke, why did they feel the need to go and get Durant. Keep the team you had, and have your rematch.
Jr was useless before lebron Korver isn't a champ either is deron Williams. Remember lebron passing to deron Williams for a wide open game winning 3 that Williams missed in his cavs debut? if you think that was intentional by lebron to give deron confidence later your crazy
Glad FatLock isnt here
Eddie house been a hater!
waiting for when the cavs gonna meet up with warriors killer defense. 👀 and they can't stop the W's offense. #dubsIN5
Lauren B look everyone! this guys got jokes! Dont worry Lebron will be back to put the fear of God in your little boy Curry once again #CavsIn4

Shaquille Bullard Jesus everyone knows what a Stan is, thanks Wikipedia.
Thanks for showing me up....

Mike Jones you really believe that the Pacers will win the next 3 games...
meant in the finals
Mike Jones agreed 👍🏼
LeBron can't shoot, don't care wat people say
How much you wanna bet before lebron James career is over he's going to complain
about how long the playoffs are and he'll even rest in the playoffs.
