@BiasedHouston His teammates hate him

A lot of things can be true: - The Kevin Durant burner saga cast a dark cloud over the team that impacted the locker room. Pretty disappointing to hear that was never actually addressed. - Kevin Durant was undeniably the best Rocket this season. There were so many games where his two-way impact was the only reason this injured Rockets team won the game. - From STRICTLY a value and on court production standpoint, the Kevin Durant trade was overwhelmingly the right decision. You make that trade 7 days a week. - I do not want to trade Kevin Durant this summer.

@FanDuel One first round pick

The Celtics were a first round exit... Should they go all-in for Giannis? 👀 #DifferentHere | #FearTheDeer

@Shane00 Really - thats the only reason?

The only reason why they say "Ray Allen saved LeBron" is to minimize one the greatest finals performances of all time Down 10 in the 4th, down 3-2. Win or go home. LeBron scores 18, and assists on 10 more pts in the 4th/OT

@Espngreeny Huh - they have got every possible call

If I’m a #Sixers fan, I’m not excited about the officiating so far.

@theblockspot Man either you are on the payroll or just a complete embarrassment to social media

LeBron James carried his team at age 18. LeBron James carried his team at age 25. LeBron James carried his team at age 30. LeBron James carried his team at age 35. LeBron James is carrying his team again. LeBron James is now 41 years old.

@getnickwright Now the truth: April 17 - LeBron cronies conspire to tell everyone how awesome the Rockets are and the Lakers have no chance. This is a planned relentless effort to set a false narrative so when they win everyone will think he did something great.

Quick timeline of the takes surrounding Lakers-Rockets, with a prediction on tomorrow’s. April 17th: “The Lakers have NO chance. They’ll be lucky not to be swept.” April 20th: “If LeBron pulls this off I’ll call him the GOAT.” April 22nd: “The Rockets are frauds!” April 25th: “The Rockets are the dumbest team I’ve ever seen! Anyone would beat them!” April 30th: “The Lakers are cooked & LeBron is exhausted. Rockets in 7.” May 1st: “LeBron is going to blow a 3-0 lead & his GOAT case is over!” May 2nd: “Yeah, the Lakers won, but it’s actually not that impressive, the Rockets were pretenders.”

@Shane00 That assumes the list is correct

# of times playing players on this list in the finals: LeBron: 10 Jordan: 4

@FastbreakHoops5 It’s Bird all day not even close

Bird won 3 MVPs and was one of the best playmaking forwards ever. KD's the most skilled scorer at his height the league has ever seen. Who you got?

@CelticsForum0 So off base - be better

🚨 Breaking news: If Kevin Durant has played his last game in Houston, the Celtics are expected to pursue him, again, for the third time. Now being confirmed by multiple sources. 😳 😳 😳

@FastbreakHoops5 Peak Bird is the best of the three. As good as Bron is, peak Bird a better shooter, scorer, passer, and rebounder.

LeBron is the all-time scoring leader playing the 3. Bird won 3 MVPs in a row. Durant is unguardable at 7 feet. KD or LeBron — who's actually SF1?

@TheSports_Shift #3

Where do you rank Lebron James as an All Time Great NBA Player?

@theblockspot More evidence you know zero about ball

The best player to ever touch a basketball plays tonight at 9:30 PM ET. His name is LeBron James. And he’s attempting to sweep a really good Rockets team… on the road… without Luka… and potentially without Reaves.

@NBAStatGuy_ You know nothing about ball if you think this is an upset. And yes, savy people all knew the Rockets suck and that the Lakers without two studs were better. Fact is everyone knew it but it didn’t fit LeNarrative.

MJ won ONE playoff series as an underdog during his career. The odds were +130 and it took a last second shot vs the craig ehlo cavs to win that first round series. Bron has multiple conference finals AND finals wins as the underdog. This Rockets series is just another LeUpset.

@CelticsForum0 @ShamsCharania Why do you make up ridiculous things like this. Makes no sense.

🚨 Breaking: per @ShamsCharania, if the Celtics fall short of a championship this year, Brad Stevens will pursue a trade for Kevin Durant 🍿 🍿 🍿

@BarryOnHere We all see what you are doing for round 2 - just so you know.

LeBron rightfully getting his flowers because he's the GOAT but Marcus Smart is just as much of a reason the Lakers are up 3-0 right now. Really everybody (except LaRavia & Ayton) have answered the call for LA this playoffs. Regardless of what horrible things OKC does to them in round 2, I'll always cherish this series.

@FastbreakHoops5 Close - the two best to ever lace em up

Who deserved the 1988 MVP: Jordan or Bird?

@JoeyKnish22 Way to showcase you are completely clueless

LeBron sweeping this series without Doncic and Reeves would be more impressive than like 4 of Jordan’s championships but sure Ringz culture.

@Shane00 Clueless

Warriors by 50

@JeffNadu 0% chance of that

That pick of Caleb Lomu by New England might just be for the Eagles and this AJ Brown deal.

@MagicJohnson Agree this is a bad match up for Denver. Would have been much better off as 4 seed against a terrible Rockets team.

I think the Minnesota Timberwolves will win the Series because they are faster, more athletic, and more physical than the Denver Nuggets. Minnesota Center Rudy Gobert has been doing a great job defending one of the best NBA players today - Nikola Jokic!
