Why do we give Bron extra credit for his teammates underperfoming and being injured?

[Kaypain]

Imma heat fan. I'm far from the hypocrite. I was happy when LBJ came to Miami to form a superteam. If I had gotten mad at KD for doing the samething, then that wouldve made me a hypocrite. The main LBJ stans who cheered his move to Miami, are the same ones mad at KD. As a heat fan, why should I give a damn where kd chose to go? I know why Bron fans are angry, because KD is impeding another title for lbj. Bron stans need to stop the charade about

"KD did it with less honor than LBJ "

"KD went to the team that best him"

No you're making assumptions of how Lebron Stans should feel. This ain't about Lebron this is about Durant.

 

[Kaypain]

nikkas still running with this KD was recruited during the WCF horse shyt

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

LeBron stans gonna be hit with that reality check very soon.

lol what a dummy

So KD is suppposed to struggle through the west while lebron goes, 12-1 through the eastern conference

how many times has lebron went 12-1 in the east? In lebron's prime in miami (the year they won titles) they struggled in the east and played in multiple game 7 series

He did not go to Miami to beat no fukking Boston. Stop that.

He went to Miami to win "not 3 not 4 not 5"

Are you saying that if the Big 3 Heat lost to Chicago (or Indiana, or any other team in the East) but beat Boston in the series before that...

That Bron would've been like "YES! That's all I wanted to do!"...come on breh stop that

Who's the team that was stopping LeBron from getting any where close to another Finals during his last few years in Cleveland?
Who was the team that ran the East in general?
Can these two examples be answered using the same team?
Then what was the biggest blockade for Miami's grand plan? Once you answer that question, you should be able to easily decide what had to be done to win "not 3, not 4, not 5"

I mean it's not like KD didn't clearly have his chance to do something about that the man way instead of the bytch way...Boston, Washington, Heat all very talented franchises in the East that just needed him as a piece to be better than Cleveland. Instead he picked the team that was already better than Cleveland (let me emphasize team here so you don't throw some "but they lost last year" BS at me") and the same team he gave out against. It isn't about choosing to struggle, it's about going to the easiest path possible. He could've chose the 70 win Spurs and people would've just chalked it to the game. I don't see how it isn't apparent the issue with picking the particular team he picked

 

[Jplaya2023]

And that was after the first round.


So when exactly did he decide to throw the series, before or after going up 3-1?

Was Russ in on it too? Because he also played like shyt.

this dude KD pulled a Darth Vader, instead of scheming around beating a team HE WAS UP 3-1 AGAINST, he joined them.

I really cant conceive how this is comparable to LBJ and his decisions. Wade was 4 years removed from his Finals, Bosh never saw a second round vs a 2 time league MVP and greatest SHOOTERS ever in steph/klay,a def powerhouse in Draymond

MJ/Pippen joining the Pistons in '90 would be the exact same thing. The equivalent to LBJ would be him going to LAL or the Spurs, you know proven champs like GSW.

 

[the cac mamba]

Miami was a flawed team when lebron got there. They were starting a corpse at PG, and one of the worse C's in nba history was starting for them.

They never steamrolled the league like the warriors are doing now. Bosh was injured in their playoff run and so was wade at times.

Hoe ass durant joined a team that he colluded and quit against that didn't need him to win. That's some sucka shyt. Had he gone to any other team besides the warriors or cavs no one would give him the backlash he received.

how the fukk are we supposed to watch the regular season after this bullshyt :deadjay: the playoffs?

nothing against KD personally, because i dont blame him for doing what he did. he went to the best team, within the rules. but i think the nba should have blocked this move, this team is too fukkin stacked and the product is dogshyt who the fukk is gonna compete with the warriors in the west?

So KD is suppposed to struggle through the west while lebron goes, 12-1 through the eastern conference

this is why i dont blame KD at all, but as far as the NBA goes, i think they fukked up

on the other hand, i guess itll be cool to watch if these dudes just establish a 7 or 8 year dynasty

Proven champs
Everybody said hey would not win if kyrie and love played my god Lebron stans and their emotions and excuses

nah KD has a right to go wherever, you would think the competitor in him would be like "i wanna beat golden state not join them"

buck didn't join larry and vice versa.

michael didn't join isiah

dr j didn't join buck and cap

dominique didn't join larry

george gervin didn't join buck and cap

Lebron didn't care about the regular season in cleveland. In miami the first 4 years he wasn't being a LeHoe and sitting out games like that. He was playing. Riley wasn't allowing that shyt with him. Wade was the one sitting which pissed lebron off and set in motion the plan to go back to cleveland.

Yea LeBron in Miami went all out in the regular season. Truth is LeBron tried to stack the deck, but he did it by wanting to do it with his friends. He didn't choose the best fit. The Heat just found a way to make it work, but it wasn't as seamless as KD to the Warriors.

I can't knock KD for that though.
Just saying it was easier transition and a better fit for him. Bron tried to recreate the Olympics. Got 2 out of 4...maybe would have had 3 with a better roster that first year and he played better against the Mavs. So they made it work, but it took a lot of effort to get it done.

Kobe did it without Superteams :blessedmagic:

You're right.

 

[Armchair Militant]

I guarantee you Bron didn't sign with Miami with the intention of having to ball out of his mind to cover for injured Wade and Bosh. He went there so that they could steamroll the league and win a title. Point blank, fukking PERIOD. He didn't choose Miami for "hard fought playoff battles" and "competitiveness."

Exactly. If they didn't expect to wreck the league, they wouldn't have been so cocky at the beginning.

 

[Biscayne]

Y'all bytch ass nikkas dont get it and y'all keep ignoring a crucial fact cuz y'all are irrational fukk boys.

nikka Durant was up 3-1 against GS. The Warriors, the team that had just broken the best regular season record. And he choked nikka. He only had to win one more game. Durant had to prove to us he could beat the Warriors before anything. But he joined them bytches, was probably getting recruited while he was blowing the 3-1 lead. Imagine Jordan being up 3-1 against the Bad Boy Pistons and blowing it. Only to join them the next season.

Durant is a bytch plain and simple and only anti Lebron casuals, Kobe stans, and Jordan stans rejoicing at this shyt.

Only LBJ stans would construct narratives to discredit KD for doing the same thing LBJ did.

So answer the question. If Miami beats Boston but loses to Chicago in 2011 is the season a failure?
