Those who thought Kawhi was not going to come out and play, or was somehow not the player he once was, well, nope. He's playing like a top 3 player, again. Good to see him healthy, and Raptors are better.

Yeah he's very good.  Not top 3 as I'd still take Lebron, KD, and AD but he's probably top 5 or 6.  

What's this talk about the G league now offering $125k to HS players to forgoe college?

So the team in 2013-2014 wasn't a threat, I would consider making it to the ECF significant?  The team in the early 2000s were not a threat? I know its early(only 1 game) but assuming the bench can play like this 75 or 80% of the games, I cannot think of a better bench over the last 10 years or so that the Pacers have had. 

They've never been a true threat to win it all.  The Shaq/Kobe Lakers team was way better.  They wouldn't have even made the CF that season if they weren't playing in the Least.

Pacers are really deep

Good solid team as always but also as always never a serious threat to win anything.  Been that way for like 30 years.

Hulu looks good the only problem is no AMC.  Youtube actually might be the best but no History or HDTV which are deal breakers.  DTV Now is the only one I've found that has all the channels I need.

UPDATE:

I got my Roku Ultra in the mail yesterday. And installed it this morning.  With the help of the same lady from Hulu was able to connect to Hulu Live TV.   Am now watching the BTN .   Plus I got the upgrade for unlimited devices.  I can watch the BTN (as well as many other channels) on any tv in the house, and outside as well.  I don't use a smart phone. But I could watch the BTN live if I had a smart phone.   It's early, but so far I am thrilled with Hulu Live TV.  Picture and sound are terrific. 

Mile, DTV Now is offering a great promotion where if you prepay for 3 months they will give you a free 4k Apple tv.  So for $105 thats the basic package times 3 you're getting a free 4k Apple tv which sells for over $150.  A no risk way to try it out for a few months.  Just thought I'd mention it.

80's Celtics

96 Bulls were better than them all.

You're being kind...Lue is the Little Ricky of the NBA...without the skilled but sleazy father.

...and yes...that's all on LeBron. I don't know how good Blatt was as a coach, but he's surely better than Tyron Lue.

I won't be surprised if Gilbert fires Lue as soon as Lebron bolts.

I just disagree with you because I think the competition that MJ went through is far better than what Lebron went through.  The Warriors and whatever team Lebron is on are the only two great teams in this era.  Also remember when Jordan frir started he had to deal with the Celtics of the mid 80's which were one of the best teams of all time.

It was.  The Cavs barely got by the lowely Pacers this year and the Celtics who were missing their 2 best players.  All the Cleveland teams Lebron has had would have struggled mightily with the bad boy Pistons, the Ewing Knicks, or Reggie's Pacers. 

Lebron is great he's just not the GOAT.   His finals streak is impressive but he's played in the least his entire career where most seasons 4 of the top 5 teams in the league were out West.

LBJ is the GOAT.  Not sure what else he has to do to gain that title.

Win 2 more titles.  At least.  We are talking about dethroning MJ.  The man ESPN ranked ahead of guys like Babe Ruth, Muhammad Ali, Jack Nicklaus, etc as the greatest athlete ever.  Not an easy feat.

George Hill was scapegoated by JR. 

And it's unfathomable that call was changed. 

Not the GOAT but he was amazing last night.  Shame he has such a poor supporting cast

Warriors in 5.

😛 I just think we’re right and you and 6 are saying I’m aggressive and senisitive because you can’t dispute my arguments.

scotts right though. 1a and 1b is the best way to look at it. 

I bet if you polled most NBA analysts the vast majority would still have MJ as the GOAT.  And I doubt that will change unless Lebron wins a couple more titles. 

Wow the witnesses sure are sensitive.

You have the IQ of a banana. 

Thank you for that fountain of information.  MJ was 6-0 in the finals and won them all handily.  None of them ever went 7 games.  It took 2 epic choke jobs and a Draymond Green suspension for Leb to win 2 of his and he had join to join his superfriends to win them.  The debate isn't even close.

Lebron is not the GOAT.  The honor goes to MJ by a mile.  I'd take Bird or Kobe over Lebron.
