Celtics essentially ended Lebrons tenure in cleveland in the playoffs in 2010 when they defeated the Cavs in the 2nd round and forced lebron to go and form a superteam with his friends to win a championship.

I wonder if we could be seeing something similar (hopefully without the 2nd part). A decimated celtics team is dominating the Cavs. and this is after Lebron putting up a triple double with 40pts! You have to think Lebron is sitting there thinking to himself "what else can I do?"

While, I hope we do, there are still a few games left to play.   I hope we take one in CLE.

It would certainly be fitting if the Celtics were able to end his NBA Finals streak, especially with our current group.  The 2017-18 Celtics are the antithesis of every team LeBron has ever played for.   

I think LeBron is going to leave Cleveland regardless of how this series plays out.  At the end of the day he has nobody to blame but himself.  He is responsible for terrible contracts, constant drama, poor team chemistry, and a general lack of concern for the development of his teammates.  The guy literally does nothing to inspire the people around him. 

Some people might disagree but I would turn down the consecutive finals appearances by Cleveland in favor of an organization that does things the right way.  I have genuinely enjoyed this organic rise under Stevens.  It felt great to be pumped for playoffs to start even with the Kyrie and Hayward injuries.  We all want to see a championship but the journey is very important to me.
