James beat the Celtics. If James teammates showed up from 3 point range this was a blowout. Other than James the Cavs shot 6-27 from 3.
The Celtics were pathetic, but so were the non-Lebron Cavs. Both teams missed so many open looks from 3.
Lebron scored or assisted 57 of the Cavs 87 points. He deserves all the praise in the world for these past two games.

Nah, Cavs actually showed up past the 1st quarter and turned the game around. Boston hang around within ~10 for most of the game, then when they came within striking distance after a Tatum poster dunk on James and a 3 from him in consecutive possessions, they started missing wide open 3s and and layups. Not sure but might even be that they didn't even score once before the game was decided already. Ofcourse you gonna lose if you do that.

You play a game 7 at home and have a chance to go to the finals. If you are scared at this point, then you don't deserve better.

imo that's how it works in sports, Ronaldo's overhead kick killed our confidence, Karius killed himself with that Benzema mistake, these events affect you even if you're a model pro. When you see one player making all the difference, at one point you start doubting if you even have the chance to win
But it was different this game. James actually had some turnovers and bad shots/decisions when the Celtics were on a rise, then Tatum had that dunk and hit a 3 right after. At that point, Cavs were struggling and Celtics had momentum, had the crowd and a hot Tatum. Then they proceed to miss wide open 3s and layups in a period were Cavs were STILL struggling. If there was a moment were James killed their spirit with couple of 3s, impossible fadeaways, or some 2+1 dunks against the momentum, I'd agree with you. But that wasn't the case here. Boston killed their momentum themselves, thus handing the game over effectively
You really cannot handle James getting praise. 
James killed the Celtics. It's really simple. Everyone around the league is singing his praises for the last two games right now.
If his teammates don't shoot 22% from 3, which is awful for a 3 point shooting team like the Cavs, this game isn't even close.

I did watch the game. And I disagree with you.
Most of James' turnovers were in the first half. The non-Lebron Cavs were also terrible in the first half. The only reason the Celtics were ahead going into the second half is because the Cavs shot so poorly in the first half. 1-13 from 3 outside Lebron. They missed a ton of open looks and easy buckets.
They showed up in the second half and helped Lebron close out the game.
The Celts missed lots of open looks, but the Celts had a terrible offense all season. They had miserable 3 point shooting nights frequently. Expecting them to shoot lights out is just unrealistic.
James scored or assisted 22 of 28 4th quarter points for the Cavs. Any way you look at it, he carried his team to victory with clutch play.

You say you watched the game, but it took you almost 3 hours to give praise to LeBron. Just saying, you're much quicker usually 
And here you are bringing up stats again, non LeBron Cavs lol. I hate that stat, it's so fucking pointless because one or two guys drag your team stats down quite a bit. If you do Green less Cavs, you get the same result. Or how about non Tatum or non Horford Celtics? but since that's apparently the only language you understand, here's some for you
Green was 7-14 from the field, played 42 minutes
TT had 4-4 from the field, played 35 minutes
Smith was 3-8 in 42 minutes, but his was all 3s, so he got 9 pts from 8 shots
Hill shot bad, 2-6 in 38 minutes
Korver shot bad, 1-6 in 16 minutes
Rest were Nance with 2-2, but the only played 8 minutes, and JC with 0-2 also 8 minutes. Now let's go to the Celtics:
Baynes didn't attempt a shot in 19 minutes
Smart 1-10 in 31 minutes
Morris 5-14 in 33 minutes
Rozier 2-14 in 36 minutes
Brown 5-18 in 39 minutes
Only 2 players with acceptable shooting, Tatum (9-17) and Horford (7-12). Let's not even get me started on comparing the 3pt shooting
But otherwise you're right. If all Cavs shot 50% or more, this would have been a blowout. And I'm definitely a hater for not appreciating Lebron single handedly with zero help destroying this star studded Celtics team. We should all be in awe, for who knows how much time will pass until someone destroys a team as good as these Celtics the way Lebron did tonight

It won't matter because LeBum and #thuglife JR Smith #Punchableface Larry Nance Junior will get buttfucked by the Warriors in 5

LeBum is a great player, no doubt. However, people ignore the simple fact that The Celtics, lacking their best player and another all-star pushed him and his merry band of shitcunts to 7 games.
Lebum's longevity in the game is the only reason he's in the discussion when it comes to GOAT.
I can't seriously consider a guy who lacks that killer instinct, that eye of the tiger, and chokes consistently in finals to be the GOAT.

but if you had placed literally any other active basketball player instead of Lebron in Cleveland, I think Cavaliers would've lost the tie against all of Pacers, Raptors and Celtics, he's been incredible in these playoffs

It's quite funny how some just can't accept greatness. As if LeBron being great takes anything away from MJ or any other player being great. Don't get this mentality where you need to shit on other great players to somehow try to validate the greatness of someone else. It rarely comes out looking anything but desperate fanboyism.

Same
I'm not hating. I'd put Lebron in top 7 of all time, possibly top 5, but this media obsession with everything he does is repulsive. Focus on Lebron and ignore the fact that The East is a joke, competition non-existent, opponents missing key players. When you're the most dominant player in the league, you should be destroying lesser opposition, especially when they're missing key players.
Bianconero81 and zizinho can’t seem to have a single sensible opinion even if their life depended on it. Go sit somewhere and contemplate, and then thank god for being blessed to be able to watch Lebron’s greatness.
Everyone from the Celtics’ coach, pundits and players, to even freaking Kobe say it was LeBron, the guy still types 30 lines of nonsense to say it was Celtics who blew it.
