LeBron not ready to think about Warriors: ‘It’s too stressful’

May 31 06:57 2017

LeBron James surpassed Michael Jordan to become the highest points scorer in National Basketball Association play-off history as the Cleveland Cavaliers reached the finals for a third successive year.

The Warriors’ regular season was more understated than many expected, but it was nonetheless dominant. The highest paid player in the NBA, LeBron James is acknowledged as a game changer who’s been to the NBA Finals six years in a row.

The Cavaliers, of course, came back from a three-games-to-one deficit to defeat the Warriors in the 2016 NBA Finals, which caused Draymond Green to say he wanted to “destroy” the Cavaliers if they were to meet in the Finals back in October.

But I’m not even sure this is the right debate.

The Celtic entered this encounter in high spirits, hoping for the second win in this series after they clinched one in Game 3, but eventually, everything they got from this match was another painful defeat. “The stuff they’re running, it’s harder to defend than Golden State’s [offense] for me, as far as the actions and all the running around and all the guys who are making all the plays, so it’s a totally different thing”.

Golden State led the league with a 67-15 record this season and is 27-1 in its last 28 games, including the playoffs. “It’s nothing short of legendary and I want him to enjoy it”, Irving said.

Cavs small forward James hit a three-pointer from the left wing in the third quarter to pass Jordan’s record of 5,987 play-off points, which had stood for 19 years. So you have to appreciate it. It’s like.we’re in the NBA Finals. Jordan averaged above 35 points per game in the Playoffs in five different seasons, and early in Jordan’s career, each round of the Playoffs was not a best of seven series as it is today. Durant is chasing the first championship of his career and would love nothing more than to finally be able to accomplish his dream.

“Eastern Conference finals, that’s the biggest stage I’ve ever been on”, Thomas said at the team’s practice facility in Waltham, Massachusetts. It made me go back to that.

“Throughout the series, I didn’t get the opportunity to have that moment (with Thomas)”, James said Thursday night. So it’s a little different now, obviously. Unlike past year, the Warriors have Kevin Durant. The anticipation only grew when the 73-win Warriors added Kevin Durant in free agency. So it makes it even more hard.
