Damn, dude was spot on with that trade analysis.

3ball is a genius

Especially right about how talented and stacked they are.

It's time we give 3ball the credit he deserves. Cavs haven't won the chip yet, but they still made the finals.

He even predicted who was gonna be in the finals for the West. In January!

they will breeze through the all-time weak East, and face an inexperienced team in the Finals (HOU OR GS)

If 3ball stopped sucking Jordan's dick on the daily and posted about the current NBA we could have a reverse konex. The 3ball blessing?

WHAT IF 3ball is someone from the future and he's here to remind us how great Jordan was. That's probably why 99.999% of his posts are about Michael Jordan. Maybe SOMEONE overtakes MJ's spot as the GOAT in the future, and he's here on ISH from the future to tell us the amazing things Jordan did so we won't forget that he'll always be the GOAT bball player. Hmmm. Hmmm...

they just got another all-star caliber talent in JR Smith, who has only ever needed to be motivated to play up to his talent level... he'll be motivated in lebron-ville.

then they just got mosgov, who's always been a valued gem of a big man - shot-blocker, banger and finisher around the rim - exactly what the cavs were missing.

the cavs already had the league's best top talent - they're the only team in the league with 3 dream-teamers and/or all-stars.

and now, with these additions, they have the best supporting talent in the league...

does anyone in the league have a better top 3, or better supporting talent after the top 3?

they will breeze through the all-time weak East, and face an inexperienced team in the Finals (HOU OR GS), who will shudder in the bright lights and lose to the cavs... that pretty much covers it...

God damn, GOAT post.

I think they got it tbh. This team is loaded. Even without love

***You'll notice that I included a prime Garnett in MJ's list, since he and MJ both played SF in 2002 - in their first meeting when MJ was a Wizard, they were matched up SF vs. SF for the entire game.. MJ scored 35 on Garnett in every way imaginable from the opening tip - at the 4:00 mark, Jordan scores on Garnett for 5 consecutive possessions, with the announcers getting more excited each time:

Lebron was never guarded by a prime Garnett.. I doubt he would have the quickness to make it a huge mismatch like MJ did.. After all, guys like Boris Diaw, Gordon Hayward fare well against Lebron defensively.

Also, the list above doesn't include many of the tremendous offensive wings that MJ faced including: Dr. J, James Worthy, Bernard King, Mitch Richmond, Alex English, Glenn Robinson, Jamaal Mashburn, Detlef Schrempf, Chris Mullin, Larry Bird, Fat Lever, Jeff Hornacek, Allan Houston, Jeff Malone, Glen Rice, Kiki Vandeweghe

**** me running if I'm right...

If the Cavs beat Warriors this year and Lebron puts up GOAT stats, I will have to concede that he's finally had a championship run that compares to one of MJ's from a dominance standpoint.

And if Kyrie is MIA, that's the only way they can win - by Lebron putting up GOAT stats.. I'm thinking 36 PPG, 10 RPG, 10 APG - basically, MJ-level dominance from 1991-1993 type shit, although a lot more TO's and worse efficiency... Or maybe just 32 PPG on even lower efficiency, but he's just GOAT-level clutch - EVERY big shot, like MJ in 1997 or 1998.

Regardless, I'd surely throw up in my mouth a little bit if it appears the series is headed this direction.

WTF are you talking about? MJ never averaged a triple double for a finals run

He never averaged a double double for a playoff series either.
