Cleveland's Finest

Congrats LeBron. 1 step closer to the ultimate goal.

OKC in blowout fashion.

There was no true MVP on the Celtics. All three of them were just great all-stars. Would you take Pierce over Kobe that year for one game? Kobe was killer that year. In a great conference, Kobe got them to the top and made the Gasol trade mid-season without Bynum work out, a very tough task. The Celtics had three all stars all equal in talent at the tim imo. As I said, the Mavs almost won 70 games that one year. Dirk had to win that. That team dominated the league and it was up to their star to keep them that way. Nash, Dirk, or Duncan could've won it when all three were great teams a few years ago. It came down to who was the best player. You keep saying that the MVP requirements change every year. That doesn't mean a guy like D-Wade with 45 wins can win MVP. You need a team in the mid-50's win count or higher, meaning they are a contending team. The MVP should come from a good team because that means their play is paying off.

Suns/Spurs matchup would be epic. Suns off to a great start. One thing that really impresses me is how good they've played against a great Portland home team. It'd be nice to see Grant Hill advance to the next round finally.

I just showed you that in the past ten years specifically, a top three team had the MVP. More than 50 wins is a definite requirement. And Durant has 50 wins. He's got Westbrook and plenty of talent. I know LeBron has more talent, that's a given. But just look at their stats. Clearly LeBron's better. I'm saying this for this year. Durant could easily emerge as the best player because he's grown up so quickly. But this year, it has to be LeBron. Last year Kobe or LeBron or even Dwight were possible. It was like 50/50 Kobe/Bron at one point. This year, there's a clear one. Like when Dirk won it because the Mavs almost had 70 wins. Clear cut.

I rarely brag about LeBron. I just sit back and watch people post [expletive] about him on the site a lot. Seriously though, when he plays point guard, he's a beast. Great vision. You saw what he did when he played PG? When we had no Mo or Delonte? That's right, he had double digits in assists during that period and we won 13 in a row.

Terry had no threes and he was the one who guaranteed the win. He could've and should've put up 20 plus regardless. Roddy B. was put in way too late in the 4th. Bad coaching.

Haha this is awesome. A game 7 would be sick...

But since 2001-02, the MVP has come from a team with 57 or more wins. One exception being Nash on a 54 win team. For almost ten years the MVP has been chosen from a top team. I'm sure that extends itself too if you look at even more past MVP's. I think you need to be in the top five players. Then of those top 5, which would you choose if you needed to pick a guy for one game that mattered. Based on his singular success and what he's done from this season with his team.

Dallas is minus 17 with Dirk on the floor. Bad sign. Sort of sad when Roddy B. can take it to the basket yet the rest shoot J's.

Heat beat the Nets without Wade this year. It's who's the best player, not how good the team is without them.

Game 1 winner: Cleveland Cavaliers Game 2 winner: Cleveland Cavaliers Game 3 winner: Boston Celtics Game 4 winner: Boston Celtics Game 5 winner (if necessary): Cleveland Cavaliers Game 6 winner (if necessary): Boston Celtics Game 7 winner (if necessary): Cleveland Cavaliers 3 correct = 30 4 incorrect = -40 -10 PTS

Just wow. Magic cake walk to the ECF. Dwight vs. Kurt Thomas & Dan Gadzuric.....

Wow...what call was that?

Bucks in 6? Hawks make me sick...they still can't get it together and have a big game when they need it.

That was a big charge drawn by Kurt....the ageless one. Holy sh** Ilyasova for three.....

I used to like the Jazz but I really hate them now that I'm seeing their crowd classlessness. And I HATE Fesenko. He hacked LeBron a few years ago, and I thought he was some scrub who'd be off the team, yet he's starting now. Absolutely hate him. I hate both teams equally so I hope the Lakers kill whoever wins this series. Tonight, I'd like to see the Jazz win and hand the dagger to this Nuggets team for not showing up in the playoffs. See Melo's reaction.

I know how you feel. I feel the same way about Mo and the playoffs....

Big lucky jumper by Josh Smith....I still don't understand what goes in his mind when he shoots these shots continuously.

Very good game so far. I like the Bucks hard play. They keep hustling. Whoever wins this game will win the series imo. Bucks need Jennings to make shots now. Been quiet since 1st.

But LeBron's a better player. So Dwight should never be in running for mvp because without him his team is still a 50 win team imo.... Westbrook is a stud....lmao the Thunder have like the best young core in the league and you guys are making it sound like Durant carrying the team to 50 wins.

Bron's a better pg. LeBron and then Wade for best pg.

He's fine. There's an a twitter dedicated to LeBron's elbow convincing fans he's fine.

lmao...wow........ Words can't describe how much excitement I have for this playoffs. The way things are working out with us facing Boston. Just pure greatness. This series is going to be the true start of our playoffs.
