    In the same parameter, the Cavs will be 2 pts away from a 2-1 lead. :D

    hate to use gematria here, but the pacers and celtics both score 92 points 3 days after barbara bush dies in houston, texas( where the team with the best record in the NBA and most likely to make the finals resides). Barbara Bush was also 92 years old.

    Houston from the superbowl, to deshaun watson, to james harden and the astros have been getting a lot of signs lately that show me that the rockets will be in the finals. but could it be through minnesota, okc,new orleans, and then PHILLY in the finals... GASP ... no Lebron right

    think about this, the minnesota vikings qb in 2017 attended the university of houston, his backup sam bradford attended the university of oklahoma, im trying to piece together where new orleans fits in this. But Philly def has a strong parrallel with the number 67, which has a strong life lecet number for the 2018 nba playoffs, hal greer a philly icon in basketball "passed" away a day after this years playoffs started. and last won a nba championship for philly in 1967. Also Popovich wife, Erin god bless her soul "passed" away at 67 just recently. We will we see more 67 tributes... stay tuned

    I really want Lebron to win one more. I am saddened by the fact he is about to be bounced from the first round by the Pacers. I hope he retires.

    I think this might be first time Lebron might lose.

    General Manager LeBron James failed player LeBron James.

    :D

    After Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James publicly castigated his organization’s front office, Cavs general manager LeBron James and head coach LeBron James reportedly took their superstar aside for a closed-door meeting after their most recent loss.

    “It was a good meeting. Both sides had a lot to say, but we’re all on the same page now,” said coach LeBron. “We’re going to leave it at that.”

    Player LeBron has been a vocal critic of several personnel decisions made by GM LeBron this season, as well as some unconventional tactical moves on the court by coach LeBron. However, they all agree that all three LeBrons must unify if the Cavs have any shot at repeating as NBA champions.

    “I look around at the roster that I created, and I’m just like ‘who created this mess?'” player LeBron said.

    Player LeBron refused to discuss the specifics of the closed-door meeting, except to say that he’s “surprised and disappointed” that team owner LeBron James has not yet reached out to him.

    This is where CP3 comes in. And where Harden learns to trust his teammates more. I think we will see him adjust moving forward.

    This is pretty lame. If Rockets did this (and lost), we would never hear the end of it.

    Texans did something similar with the Letterman Jackets and the franchise will never live it down. I miss the days when Letterman Jackets were one of the more embarrassing things about the Texans Franchise.:(

    He is still a very good player. Honestly, he and CP3 should take pay cuts and join Harden in Houston. I think could win a championship with that nucleus, if they retained Capela, Tucker, and a couple of good shooters.

    You mean if we keep the current team AND add LeBron, we could maybe win a championship? ;)
