Twitter reacts to LeBron James, Cavs forcing Game 7 in Boston

Originally posted on Sportsnaut | By Jesse Reed | Last updated 5/25/18

As we’ve seen all series long, the Cleveland Cavaliers were a different team at home compared to the miserable wreck they’ve been on the road in Boston. Thanks to the efforts of LeBron James (and his rejuvenated teammates), this series has been pushed to Game 7 in Boston Sunday night.

James led all scorers in this one, finishing with 46 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists, and he hit the dagger in this one.

Kevin Durant, Dirk Nowitzki, James Harden, Russell Westbrook and Dwyane Wade each have 7 40-point games in their playoff careers.

King James also made one of his signature chase-down blocks that had our jaws on the floor, and then he amused some fans with a huge reaction to getting banged up, prompting some hilarious posts on social media.

Terry Rozier and Jaylen Brown both had big games in the loss, going for 28 and 7 points, respectively.

Now, if Cleveland is going to make it to its fourth straight NBA Finals, it has to do something it has yet to do in this series. It has to win in Boston. And the Cavs might be without Kevin Love, who was knocked out of Game 6 with a possible concussion.

Needless to say, Game 7 is setting up to be quite the dramatic scene on Sunday night. Twitter had plenty to say about that, and about the man that sent this series to the brink.

Just in case … LeBron in Game 7s

Loss to Detroit in 2006
Loss to Boston in 2008
Win over Boston in 2012
Win over Indiana in 2013
Win over San Antonio in 2013
Win over Golden State in 2016
Win over Indiana in 2018

Averages: 34.9 pts, 9.1 reb, 5.1 ast, 45 minutes per game.

LeBron James is so good that the history of the #NBA will be measured as B.L. and A.L.

I think LeBron is as good as he’s ever been. In his 15th season.

You guys doubt LeBron is the GOAT?

Just realized LeBron will be my favorite athlete forever and am very comfortable with that

The MVP trophy should have LeBron James’ name engraved on it until he retires.

This has been a home team wins kinda series right? But do you really trust this C’s team with its lack of playoff experience to beat Cleveland in Boston in Game 7?

Van Gundy: "If (LeBron) gets this Cavalier team to the finals, it will be a remarkable accomplishment."

Jackson: "You could make the case, a better accomplishment than winning a championship in the past."

HE'S PLAYING A TEAM WITHOUT ITS TWO BEST PLAYERS

“And don’t tell me homecourt doesn’t matter.” – Jeff Van Gundy

The Celtics are 10-0 at home during the playoffs. Who is telling you homecourt doesn’t matter?

Cleveland's 9-point win in Game 4 is the closest final score of this series. Can the basketball gods give us a real crunch time on Sunday? Please?
