Certainly not the most well played Game 7 I've ever seen, but it's close so I'll take it

So ... Houston or Golden State tonight?

I think both teams are better than Cleveland, but hard to minimize the Lebron factor.

Rooting like hell for Houston.
I thought I settled my debts that night on the ride home
But I have still got hell to pay

Even J.R. Smith is surprised J.R. Smith is on that poster.  It should be LeBron's personal chef or something

Not just the players, but look at the coaches Lebron dragged to the Finals - Mike Brown, Erik Spoelstra, Dave Blatt, Ty Lue.  Only Spoelstra has even made the playoffs without Lebron.

I do think Spoelstra's a pretty good coach.  I think Miami has grossly overachieved in the post-LeBron years, primarily due to him.  But point still stands.

They are a Helluva lot better than the first Cavs team he took to the finals, where the supporting cast was Boobie Gibson, Larry Hughes, Donyell Marshall, Drew Gooden, Z, Varajao, Sasha Pavlovic and Ira Newble.

I agree he's the GOAT, which I is why I disagree that he can't beat Boston alone.   Boston without their two best players is the easiest opponent Cleveland has faced in the playoffs to date.
Ok, I stand corrected, he pretty much did.  
I just don't get this team.  In three playoff series so far they:
  • Needed seven games to barely survive the #5 seed Indiana Pacers.  
  • Easily coasted past the #1 seed Toronto Raptors in a sweep.  
  • Needed seven games to barely survive the #2 seed Boston Celtics despite Boston missing some very important pieces.  

In theory the Raptors should have been by far the toughest opponent.
