On mine or the other? 

I got it now. I see yea, they werw favored but they were still the young inexperienced team at that point compared to the heat

 

[Paulius]

Don't move the goal posts because you can't explain it

Explain what lol. Theres nothing to explain. Hes simply 2/6 in the finals. About to be 2/7, which is 27%. Thats god awful

i thought you were responding to the six word lost from cheato. my mistake, sir. makes sense why you said that ha

Oh haha I see how made that mistake, I definetly would have done the same

 

[elcheato]

LeBron had no shot against the Spurs in 07 (LeBron defeating the Pistons that year is still one of his greatest accomplishments IMO), and the Warriors last year. In the other four, they definitely were just as good as the opposition (definitely better in the case of the Mavs), and LeBron went 2-2 in those. I think it's more fair to judge him on that, but everyone got hot takes they gotta spit.

Doesn't really change which team was better though (or who the public thought was better)

Explain how him losing to the Hawks last year or the Pacers in 2014 etc. would be better for him? How is it that losing to an inferior team or not even making the playoffs is better

No chance vs warriors? I see why youd say that bc of all the injuries, but lets not forget the Cavs were up 2-1, going into game 4 in cleveland...and lebron decided to chill that game. If they go up 3-1, their chances woulda been much greater

Him shooting 38% in a losing effort is one of his greatest accomplishment? GTFO

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I think LeBron had the better team in 2 of 6. I don't think they were better in 2013. And the Thunder had just beat a Spurs team in 4 straight games after the Spurs had won 20 straight so it kinda makes sense

Like I said Spurs heat is a toss up so I split it based on who had home court

Definitely not better than the Spurs in 2014, and even then it's not fair the criticize LeBron for that one when Wade and Bosh were awful in that series and LeBron was pretty incredible

They didn't have a chance

The Cavs were up 2-1 because Curry was playing like shit. That quickly changed, just like against the Thunder.

Why are you bringing up pacers or hawks? Irrelevant. Im strictly talking about the finals record. Never said it was better to lose before the finals, im pointing out his record in the finals...

He shot 38% against the Pistons and lost? 

 

[BNC]

Yea and I don't think the Heat were better than the Spurs in 2013

 

[CameronCrazy06]

You brought up the Warriors

EDIT I think I misread your punctuation, thinking you said the Warriors numbers last year were one of his greatest accomplishments. Carry on

 

[elcheato]

Reading is hard

Winning two games in the finals and being up 2-1 at one point, i wouldnt say they had no chance.

And so am I

Then quit bringing up a Finals record like him being 2/3 or something would be better than 2/6
