It's not! Who plays in the East????????? The best players in the East wouldn't even be #1s in the West.
Why do guys like Wilt Chamberlain get criticized for not playing against good competition, but LeBron can beat these glorified G Leaguers and we're honestly supposed to praise him for it? If...
Who on the Celtics is really THAT good either? They have a few good players who are balanced out by LeBron, and beyond that, what else? If he beat the Celtics with Hayward and Kyrie, then I would give him more credit. But he SHOULD have beaten these Celtics as he is one of the greatest players...
It probably wouldn't change anything for the years he did win the Finals, but in all those other years where they put him on a pedestal just for being there, I do wonder how often he even makes the Conference Finals.
No it's not. He beat yet another weak-minded team from the East. Both these teams woulda got mopped in the West. I wonder how many times he would've lost in the first or second round if these teams he played on happened to be in the West.
Why is it a surprise to anyone that the Cavaliers beat these teams? You can say whatever you want about their roster, but they have all they need (to win the East). They just need some guys who can shoot and play a little bit of defense, and let Bron do his thing. That's it. They're designed to...
I had a math teacher in 8th grade who used to argue with students about how much better Kobe was. Every day.
Tom Brady vs Peyton Manning was in that category. Now it's Tom Brady vs Joe Montana.
MJ put up some insane numbers too. It's not like MJ wasn't capable of doing anything Bron does. Bron has to do more, and he does it against lesser competition. People see these stat lines he puts up and yeah, they're great. But don't act like MJ didn't do all that same stuff many times.
Against trash teams. Whenever he actually does play a good team, he always seems to need some kind of reason to have a game like this. The other team has to win a few games first. THEN he goes into this mode.
He's capable of giving more effort than he does. It really seems like he saves most...
It's not as impressive to me because it seems like he saves these games only for when he really needs them. Why doesn't he do that before a series goes to 6? Any excuse about fatigue is irrelevant because he'd have less games to play if he'd close out a series quicker. It's like he wins when he...
It doesn't make any sense. Until you remember that Durant is a natural choker and that Curry and Thompson regularly have games where they barely make any shots.
Not having Iguodala seemed to really confuse them. Kerr's lineups last night were a bit questionable because of that.
It's really gonna suck for all those people who were starting to think they might actually see something different in the Finals again if the Rockets and Celtics can't close it out.
It might take the talent at the top and spread it around a little more, but it wouldn't make the quality of the league any better. Instead of a few really good teams and nothing else but trash, those good teams would be less good and the rest of the league would be even more trash.
