He's getting a bit long in the tooth ain't he?

It may seem like he has been around forever but he is still in his early 30s

I expect King James to make it to the Final once again.

I just thought it was funny during the Pacers series that people were seriously thinking there was a chance the Cavs would lose. They could be down 3-0 with a twenty point deficit in the fourth quarter and I still would not have believed the Pacers would beat them.

A lot of the first round series looked competitive, but in the end, only 1 5 seed and 1 6 seed advanced---all others were 1-4 seeds.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

2/8 isn't that bad for the underdogs.

A 4-5 isn't really an upset if the 5 wins, and in the case of the 3-6, it wasn't really this year either.

Records of the western conference 3 through 6 seeds:

3 seed: 49-33
4 seed: 48-34
5 seed: 48-34
6 seed: 48-34

Does anybody really think Lebron is not going to win the Eastern Conference again?

I think the Raptors are going to crush the Cavs. Aside from LeBron andd Love they have nobody good.

He's 33 and will turn 34 at the end of the year, with humongous milleage. He's a specimen, but one day the wheels will come off. Maybe not this season, but soon.

Grey Fox

Maybe this year but it won't be against the Raptors.

Karl Malone played well until he was 40.

So far James has seemed to be as durable. Maybe he won't last as long, but maybe he will.

Make up your mind, Tim. You're arguing that LeBron has still got it, yet he'll be crushed by a team from Canada.  :hmm:

He's still got it and Toronto is not as good as I thought.

LeBron was great all year, but the Cavs still were mediocre.

How was I to know that the rest of the team would snap into form?
