This game is kind of uncomfortable to watch.

The one knock against Lebron is that he lost more than once in the finals. That'll always be the calling card of the Jordan is GOAT people (of which I'm still a member of). However, in terms of the completeness of the game, Lebron's getting closer and closer to MJ - in fact some would argue he's already surpassed MJ since he's a really gifted passer,

Yeah, this feels like it would be a 15 point lead in LA, but I've been saying for a while that OKC is the biggest HCA in the NBA.

I think they've been getting some favorable calls but Westbrook/Durant have also done a lot to get fouls... Westbrook keeps driving past Paul and that forces Davis/Griffin/Jordan to try to stop him at the rim and they can't do that either.
Jamal Crawford found his shot though, 4 point play then a 3 point play back to back.

Westbrook has been OKCs best player this series and taking it to CP3 every moment he can. Durant has been meh, but the refs have kept them in it with some absurd foul calls. Tony Brothers, Tom Washington, Salvatore. What a terrible crew to ref what is a pretty good game despite them.

I got no objections to any order you want to put all the all-timers, but holding Lebron's finals appearance on the Cavs against his 'legacy' gives me a headache. Do you remember who was on that team? Replace them with one of those championship Bulls teams, and they probably win. Surprise! Boobie Fucking Gibson isn't as good as Pippen.
E: Sorry. Lets not shit up the thread with this argument. Plenty of common ground on terrible officiating. Lets all be friends.

clippers will win the series based on the commercial rule
CP3 and griffin commercials vs durant commercials

It's a classic case of "back in my day rabblerabblerabblerabble" nostalgia, and a certain segment of the population enjoys blaming those sissy Euros for reducing the amount of manliness in our sports.
I wish the league would make some changes to prevent and punish flopping/selling calls/whining that "there's no way that foul should be on you, you did not foul, you never foul, how dare the ref impugn your mother's honor by suggesting you might ever foul anyone," when you clearly did you fucking liar cut that shit out and just own up to it. But none of that is new nor is Lebron the first all-timer to do it. The issue isn't Lebron complaining or flopping. It's Lebron complaining while the opposing teams runs in transition. I absolutely loathe it when he complains while play is still going on. I don't think it helps his case any more than doing it during breaks, and it can actively hurt the Heat's defense.
I think he learned it from watching the Pistons.
Wooooooo SVG. 
I'm torn on Otis Smith, but the first part is great.

Jamal Crawford...seriously this guy...

It's that Doc Rivers coaching.

Lol, well yea, we shouldnt blame him for the East being so shitty that year that a young player on a mediocre team made the Finals. Then again, by the same token, we can't really credit him for making the finals this year and last.
Lebron's legacy is just a lot more complicated than Jordan's, and its not over yet.
Edit: And, its not all his fault. The East has failed to provide him real obstacles, and the NBA has fostered the environment of flopping and crying that he would be disadvantaging himself not to participate in.

Good thing he won both of those finals taking home MVPs in the process so we don't have to worry about whether or not just making it there is worth crediting.

lol clutz talking crazy again

Think that's a legit call if one they don't call very regularly. No Jordan is baaad news for LAC's defense tho. E: Did LAC steal OKC's playbook or something? Their offense has been horrific for like 6 possessions.
