FUCK THE CAVS! Over rated is the saying i would go with when it comes to talking about James. Everyone thinks hes the best thing since sliced bread but guess what. he won’t go all the way this year or ever. it takes a team to win a championship and James is only a one man team. When he get players to back him up then i’ll say they might have a chance but until then its all CELTICS! we’re going for two in a row.
