If the Warriors had 2 of their best players injured, LeBron would have an asterisk, right?

[Lakers Offseason]

I killed Bron when they lost to the Mavs.

And I killed him when he lost to the Spurs.

I'm an MJ fan. And I would pick Kobe over Bron in hierarchy of GOAT players.

But, I can't do him like that when they lose this series. He elevated himself in my eyes even with this Finals lost.

I sat back and just looked at the cavs team like how the fukk did they manage to get all these Nikkas. This dude worked out some sweet deal like when he went to miami...getting his dream team and now it blows up in his face again

At one point I was like man the Cavs got cop. They got like 9 starters on that squad.....now his team is worse than the Mo Williams Cavs. He right back where he started.

 

[Rigby.]

So we're gonna sit here and act like Bean didn't have Smush and Luke fukking Walton in the starting lineup and took that squad to 7 games against Phoenix? Stop spewing nonsense.

Was that the same Phoenix team that just blatantly refused to play defense? That's a completely different situation than Chicago

 

[blackzeus]

Kobe doesn't get shut down by Iggy and shoot 15% in the 4th.. LeBron's inability to score and close out games is costing the Cavs..

LeBron is losing to Steh curry & a collection of role players

We really gon' act surprised?

Nothing to do with the two next best players on the Cavs getting injured?

Love was done in the 1st round. Kyrie was hurt in the Chicago series. Both hurt before the conference finals and they SWEPT the previously considered best team in the east, who was only missing Thabo from what I remember, with these "nobodies". Bron wasn't scoring 40 and going triple double every game then. Give the rest of the team credit. They keep showing up. Delly and Tristan are making up for their lack of offensive talent with straight up hard work. Moz has been killing when they get him the ball. Up until last night they were playing even with the Warriors and if the didn't call that travel on Moz they might be up.

I just don't like how people try to downplay other people to make the star more heroic. People do that shyt with MJ all of the time and try to downplay he's played with some surpremely talented players. Honestly, Bron is the reason the team is hamstringed in the first place. He prefers playing iso ball so Blatt had to switch to that. He's the one forced the team to get Miller, Jones, and Perkins instead of letting the GM build a bench on his own. I'm not trying to derail the thread, but if you're going to exalt the man then bring up his downsides too.

When LBJ was on The Heat, we Heat fans weren't getting any sort of leway to complain about LBJ's lack of calls, but alas, LBJ's back on the Cavs, now everyone's on that "LBJ isn't getting enough calls" steez. Imagine Heat fans on here complaining about the lack of calls LBJ got against SA? Imagine us blaming the trajectory of the series on the broken A/C. We'd be getting killed by the Coli. Today, LBJ isn't getting enough calls. But I bet in the previous 4 years, he was viewed as a whiner to most posters on The Coli.

Nah breh this is different. It's blatant. Even the Warriors fans on here are like about it. It's not just Lebron not getting calls it's the Cavs in general this whole series.

Who on this fukking team can create for themselves?

The fukk you want them to do? Run Flex? Run Motion to get shooters open? You nikkas don't watch the games you just look at the box score.

Every time Lebron comes off the floor, the Warriors go on a huge run, and the cavs offense becomes stagnant as fukk.

His two other scorers, K LOVE and Kyrie can create for themselves. But they aren't playing. Lebron can't even get proper rest because the 2nd unit is basura.

If Lebron doesnt drop 40 they lose by 20+ every game because ain't nobody else doing it. Yeah his role players made their shots in the Hawks series but they are inconsistent as fukk, Warriors playing a good defensibe stategy as well. It's been basically Mozgov and LeBron vs The Warriors as far as offense goes.

JR shows light in the first half but disappeara, Shumpert missing layups and shyt, what fukking game are y'all watching?

Don't give a fukk what any of y'all say but playing damn 48 mins a game isn't something to just brush off.

 

[MJ Truth]

Dunno breh I was having this argument with my boy over whether jordan woulda won this series if u swapped him out for bron.. at the very least the cavs would taken game 1

They wouldn't have been in Game 1 at the end if you replace LeBron with Jordan.

Don't give a fukk what any of y'all say but playing damn 48 mins a game isn't something to just brush off.

He's averaging 45 mpg this is nothing new stop acting like it's some incredible thing nobody has done before

He played like shyt in game 4 and his fg% is 39% for the series He's also like 0-4 in game winning shots in this series

 

[MJ Truth]

Lebron wins if he is as efficient as Curry. 15/34 and score only 40 points? No excuses for Bron he is about to be 2 of 6 in the Finals ..

If LeBron was guarded by a white undrafted cramping Australian bench warmer all series he'd probably have a great shooting percentage too.

 

[Brozay]

This whole Ray Allen gifted Bron a title angle is mind boggling to me

 

[showtime]

The Bulls were a playoffs team in at least 3 or 4 of those years without needing MJ.

U can't sit there and say a team with the best coach, best rebounder ever, the best SF in the 90's, and with Tony Kukoc would consistently missed the playoffs every year

Men lie women lie numbers don't

They had a 54% winning pct without MJ and all of those "stars" you named. That's an 8 seed in the east compared to a two time 3peat and arguably the greatest team ever just missing one player

With MJ and Pippen out of the lineup they won 73% of their games during the two 3peats

Cavs look like a HS squad w/o Lebron on offense

The spurs gifted Bron a title. It was the biggest choke job in nba finals history a lot of the fans already left the arena.
