Eastern Conf. Semis - Game 4: Toronto Raptors 93-128 Cleveland Cavaliers - 5 Talking Points

#1 Another Conference Finals appearance for LeBron

LeBron James

The King continues his reign over the East as he reaches the Conference Finals yet again. It's the 8th straight year he's made it this far and unless a miracle occurs, he's going to make it 8 straight Finals appearances. This has probably been the hardest he's had to work to get to the Conference Finals than at any other point in his career.

It was a turbulent Regular season with all the trades and drama surrounding the team, which led to him playing 82 games for the first time and have arguably the best year of his career. His performances against Indiana will probably go down as some of his best ever thanks in part to the supporting cast being as bad as they were.

They've stepped up now, which has made his life easier and has once again shown what James can do when the rest of the team plays up to or close to their full potential.

They'll in all likelihood face Boston Celtics in the Conference Finals unless the Sixers pull off a comeback for the ages. It would have been an epic series between the two if Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward were healthy but they're not. Another Finals appearance looks all but set.
