Where the F*%k is the 2014 NBA Thread?!?!!

It really angers me when LeBron is all of a sudden anointed greatest small forward of all time and his career is not even over yet!
How easy it is to forget how he simply choked in the 2010/11 playoffs. He didn't get a ring until he had Wade,Bosh and Allen.
You know who never choked,complained or was afraid to take the last shot?
LARRY THE LEGEND BIRD!
1)So far better career shooter,passer,rebounder (stats don't lie)
2)Played against stiffer defense oriented half court teams ie:Motor City Badboys Pistons and legendary players like Thomas,Magic,Jordan,Dr.J!
LeBron plays in an offense favored watered down league where a foul is called for hand checking him. In the 80's teams like the Pistons ended players careers!
3) Bird always wanted the ball with the game on the line ...LBJ gets flustered and pouts when things go south see 2010/11
4)Bird put up great numbers despite debilitating pain most of the last half of his career. LBJ so far hasn't dealt with any major injuries. You can bet when he does start to downslide though it will be sudden and dramatic.

vintageinfants said:cavs were less fluid with kyrie back in the line up.
is his injury going to restore some of the team dynamic they showed flashes of during the run up?
addition by subtraction maybe?

This one's been good, but I think I really enjoyed the 2013 Spurs/Heat matchup as well. Two heavyweights going 7 games.

And last year's Finals, which featured some of the best basketball ever played.
This year's playoffs were kinda lame, but the Finals have been really competitive. Cleveland's bringing it more than I thought they possibly could--love seeing an underdog fight like this.

even this game looked for a moment like it would be a nail biter (when the Cavs got it to within 3)
JR and Shump are who we thought they were
Delly too, apparently
can Lebron physically keep this shit up? Blatt took him out for crucial minutes, presumably because he is exhausted
I like the W's chances. Even if Lee and Iggy gotta drag the splash bros across the finish line
