I believe the league wants Lebron to face his former team I don't know how many players have faced their former team/s in the Finals but it can't be that many. Also, I believe the league wanted to branch out with a different type of rivalry. If the Lakers win I won't take that win seriously people are acting like I didn't want Miami to win I even picked them in 4 before Boston won two of their games but something inside of me can't help but think if Miami wasn't in the ECF would they have face the Lakers and my answer is no.Quote:

This is the kind of crap that generates Lebron "nuthuggers" or "fanboys" or whatever you want to call us.Quote:

No, Id say the most people had Clippers vs. Bucks, with the next most popular matchup was Lakers vs. Bucks.Quote:

Vegas odds to start the year had the Clippers as tiny favorites over the Lakers, but for all intents and purposes, they were neck and neck.
Unless something crazy happens, there's no reason to put an asterisks next to the Lakers if they win.
The only Celtics fan that doesnt understand that their superstar is still developing as is the young core around him. The Celtics arent going no where. Tatum and Brown have lots of time they are still babies.
I think the young celtics had a great season and can further build on this going forward.
delusional af. Team jost got **** on.
I told you weeks ago that if the league was going to "rig" the ECF, it would make way more sense for Boston to win to rekindle the Lakers/Celtics rivalry. The Lebron vs. Miami narrative has been dead for years. Aside from Riley, Spoelstra and Haslem's bench presence, that's a completely different Heat team.Quote:

Lol there are so many of them.Quote:
