Now the clown of Stephen A . is blaming that lebron did not protect his relationship with Kyrie Irvin in cleveland and the alter ego decided to move to Boston.Stephen is selective minder, his hero M.J. treated always Pippen like his backup and sometime like he was a boys scout.M.J. wanted all the attention.Stop about excuses lebron is 33 but sadly has a mommy team that can not defende and boston has the legs , the lungs and the hunger.Did you remember that five team players that won the champ in 2004 kicking the ass of lakers with shaq and kobe.Yea!!! Pistons with no real legend in the roster.
Wtf! People its a 5 v 5 game if only 2 People show up om your team its still 5 v 2. H G A S if LeBron is going to get his number he still needs 4 more players to show up lmao Jesus!!!!
Stephen A spittin FACTS 😤 LeBron get his numbers and dominates, but it might not be enough against such a well coached, young, athletic squad that’s riding a super 🔥 streak

Lebron wouldn't have to have incredible historic nights every time the Cavs play to win if he had REAL help. Kevin Love is a joke, an unworthy allstar. Tyronn Lue is a joke too. Kevin Love at center??? Tristan Thompson and Larry Nance should be getting all the center minutes before Love is even considered at the 5. Kevin Love must take shooting percentage lessons from Kobe Bryant.
Same debate and you every year lol. Actually same debate every series. Is this a big deal is this a big deal. Man they love their job, simple ass question with 10 minute speech.
I don't know why anyone is surprised is about this. I'm a Celtics fan, so it probably makes sense that I could see this happening. This game was the deciding factor in my opinion. The Celtics have all the momentum now, and it's over. I see 5 games, and that's it. Cleveland will take game 4 to insure they have a chance, but they won't. Celtics in 5. The moment I saw Horford have his way down low, I knew it was over. Thompson and Love can't stop him. I wouldn't be surprised if Game 2 is another blowout.
It should be a requirement that these hosts/analysts watch BBALLBREAKDOWN before discussing anything related to basketball. Better yet, fire them and have espn hire Coach Nick to make this show credible.
Stephen A Smith: Cavs 4 — Pacers 3 Cavs has no chance against the raptors. they are the better team. Cavs 2 — Raptors 0 Either the sixers or the celtics, the cavs stands no chance in winning the east. Cavs 4 — Raptors 0 Cavs LeBron is taking the easiest route in winning the east. Cavs 0 — Celtics 1 Cavs LeBron will not win the east are is not going to the nba finals. 🙂 🙂 🙂 DO YOU STILL BELIEVE THIS GUY? ARE YOU STILL WILLING TO WASTE YOUR TIME WATCHING HIM? WTF
Kevin had a great game Stephen A in fact outside of Bron he's the only player to avg double double consistently every year yet he's always getting thrown under the bus everyone should feel lucky he didn't stay with the timberwolves with that talent whoa
ESPN led by these two HATE all Boston teams. If Boston had Irving, Larkin and Theis this would be a Boston sweep. They are just too loaded and talented. Not to mention Gordon Haywood.
It's too bad Lebron doesn't have a coach on his team. That way the coach could figure out what Boston is doing and make a plan to combat it. That way, Lebron could just play basketball.
Clevelands offense is just garbage. Run around and shoot threes. LeBron ISO and take tough contested shots/layups. They made all this garbage against the raptors(go figure) but I'm not sure it'll work against Boston's defence.
Besides the LeBron matchup, the Celtics feel they either compete with or beat every other matchup on the court man for man. They showed that they can score easily on his teammates. The plan was to give LeBron his points and limit his assists. 40 points alone won't hurt you in the big picture, but if he goes crazy with assists and rebounds=second chance opportunities than the plan fails which means you let the role players get involved. On offense they clogged lanes and made him shoot rather than drive (since he's not a great shooter and unstoppable once he gets going to the rim) On defense they didn't allow him to hide, they made him expend energy by attacking him, thereby wearing him down over time making him a less effective shooter later in the game. Limit the teammates points, limit LeBron's drives, make him play defense, and take advantage of his teammates mediocre defense.
Fuck all this damn hype, you know damn well Lebron is going to the finals, if G.Heyward and Kyrie was in the line up healthy then, i would say different story. .. but come on Lebron is not losing to Tatum,Brown,Morris,Al, & Rozier 3 more games. .. stop it!!
For the good of the game, I think it would be better for the celtics to come through this series. They would make it more competitive! Cavaliers if lebron don’t function their useless! I mean if one player of the golden state warriors don’t function they still win. With brad Stevens coaching the celtics I think it will be much more competitive if they got to the finals
Are these 2 guys ever going to agree on something ?I mean , at this rate , someone could ask them how much does 1+1 , one is going to say 2 and the other one 11 !
This is the beginning of a dynasty. Nobody thought the warriors would be this nasty untill they proved the world wrong and became champions. The celtics will simply just have to make a name for themselves by proving to the world that they are the real deal, it can happen.

Kick that clam chowder Boston ass and kick it good! Just kick the shit out of them.
A bunch of butthurt bronsexuals in the comments lol. Guys its embarrassing how you pull your pants down and bend over for Bron.
Matt, we are talking about the Celtics not the Raptors

Boston sweeping the Cavs, this young team been through alot through the season. They not letting one man beat them..im.sorry
These buffoons don't know how good Brad Stevens is, he will out scheme Tyronn all series and the Celts will win rather easily.
Same debate and you every year lol. Actually same debate every series. Is this a big deal is this a big deal. Man they love their job, simple ass question with 10 minute speech.
Molly….
Asuch as I think Cleveland win but idk Boston look like very legit hungry smart team
Game #1 Brad Steven shut down Lebron James!!!…Boston in 5!!!
Its no big deal for lebron obviously. The Celts have to beat him and his team 3 more times still.

Waste of time looking what happened, is not that difficult to understand "They lost "
It should be a requirement that these hosts/analysts watch BBALLBREAKDOWN before discussing anything related to basketball. Better yet, fire them and have espn hire Coach Nick to make this show credible.
LeBron took the night off.. Jordan never took the night off. Just saying to people who are still saying LeBron is better than Jordan.
Stephen A Smith:
Cavs 4 — Pacers 3
Cavs has no chance against the raptors. they are the better team.
Cavs 2 — Raptors 0
Either the sixers or the celtics, the cavs stands no chance in winning the east.
Cavs 4 — Raptors 0
Cavs LeBron is taking the easiest route in winning the east.
Cavs 0 — Celtics 1
Cavs LeBron will not win the east are is not going to the nba finals. 🙂 🙂 🙂
DO YOU STILL BELIEVE THIS GUY? ARE YOU STILL WILLING TO WASTE YOUR TIME WATCHING HIM? WTF
Kevin had a great game Stephen A in fact outside of Bron he's the only player to avg double double consistently every year yet he's always getting thrown under the bus everyone should feel lucky he didn't stay with the timberwolves with that talent whoa
Lax mentality of lbj and cavs caused this loss wc was blownout in 1Q. Celts should take the game early to take away the fight fr cavs
Shut up Max.
Cavs were beaten by 18 at home vs Indiana in game 1 and by 34 in a possible closeout game 6. Cavs won series despite Pacers being +40 in the series.
ESPN led by these two HATE all Boston teams. If Boston had Irving, Larkin and Theis this would be a Boston sweep. They are just too loaded and talented. Not to mention Gordon Haywood.
I thought I Disliked Skip Bayless, but now it’s
1.Max Kellerman
2.Steven A.
3.Brad Stevens
4.Skip Bayless
Is NBA all about LeBron?! THIS MAX GUY IS KISSING LEBRON'S ASS!
Hope they win game 2 for cavs
Holy shiiiit Max's grating voice doesnt get any more bearable
It's too bad Lebron doesn't have a coach on his team. That way the coach could figure out what Boston is doing and make a plan to combat it. That way, Lebron could just play basketball.
Celtics in 6
Lebron is NOT on Kobe level and you talk about Jordan level..maaaaan
Lebron wanted NOTHING to do with Marcus Smart..he is scared
The Cavs loss the first game…so what! They will regroup and do what they need to do tonight to win!
BOSTON VS GS
I hate this narrative that the only reason boston is winning is because other teams are getting to much rest in the playoffs
Clevelands offense is just garbage. Run around and shoot threes. LeBron ISO and take tough contested shots/layups. They made all this garbage against the raptors(go figure) but I'm not sure it'll work against Boston's defence.
Come on Cavs wake up

1 game…..
CELTICS IN 6!! Forget Lebron…Celtics is the better team. Period!
This is the beginning of a dynasty. Nobody thought the warriors would be this nasty untill they proved the world wrong and became champions. The celtics will simply just have to make a name for themselves by proving to the world that they are the real deal, it can happen.
I wanna get all hyped over my Celts but let's see game 2 first .
It's a real good thing that Boston has home court advantage so if they're supposed to win home games we're in real good shape.
