LeBron had a far better team around him last year, and it took them a near-perfect game to win just once.

There are maybe a dozen guys in the league that can legitimately guard LeBron, and Golden State has three of them (Groin, Iggy, and Durant). Cleveland's margin of error is extremely thin.

Oh I know. I Just not gonna bet against Bron.
 
I love that Cs have a big lead early. When Cleveland wins, it will crush them mentally.

That’s what happened to Toronto. It’s weird though, because while Cleveland swept Toronto, we seem to have forgotten that the Pacers took Cleveland to 7 games and had opportunities to win. Maybe Boston will give Cleveland a better fight than Toronto did.

People forget that Bucks took Boston to 7 games too.
 
No one ever said "make Jordan a jumpshooter." You simply didn't want Jordan to shoot at all. And that is why Jordan is the GOAT.

The important thing to remember is it’s just one game of what will probably be a long series. Boston’s missing Hayward and Kyrie and it seems like they shouldn’t be winning these games.

Except LeBron has a better shooting percentage from 3 for his career... yeah, you really can't let Jordan shoot 3s because that 32% efficiency will kill ya!

Cliches with no factual basis...

Both Jordan and Lebron struggled from 3 and got better throughout their career. It's a much different game today though and lots more 3's. I'd have to look it up, but I'd guess Lebron has shot more 3's than Jordan or is at least on pace to shoot more of them.
 
Not so sure about Cleveland after that game. But it comes down to the team around LeBron. If they make open shots and hold defenders accountable they can win this series but when they don't, LeBron looks out matched.
The Box on that game was pretty clear. Cleveland won the third quarter but the first half was just too much to overcome. In the end this is a win in Boston that they need if they are keeping home court. Lets see what kind of adjustments are made for game two because i doubt Stevens will do much different. He is going all in on stopping LeBron. There is no way the Cavs go 4-26 from 3 point again. Overall they cannot shoot 36% and win on the road in the playoffs.

Conversely, I can definitely seeing the LeBrons winning a game in Boston. The question is, can the Celts win a game in Cleveland? They'd be winless on the road in this postseason if it wasn't for a chokejob by Philly in game 3.
