7 straight finals roflol

[thedangerouskitchen]

Based on TDK's logic, LeBron overachieved this year by beating the higher seeded Celtics.

All Hail King James!

What "logic"? Clevey claimed LeChump played with bums, I posted their 2009 and 2010 ranks to show they were far from bums.

Let's compare those Cavs to Jordan's 89 and 90 Bulls, just for shits and giggles:

2009 Cavs vs. 1989 Bulls
#1 Seed / 66 wins vs. #6 seed / 47-wins
Best record in NBA vs. 9th best record in NBA
#4 in Offense vs. #12 in Offense
#3 in Defense vs. #11 in Defense
#2 in 3-PTFG% vs. #4 in FG%
Lost in the ECF to a LOWER seed vs. lost in ECF to the #1 seed / eventual NBA Champions

2010 Cavs vs. 1990 Bulls
#1 seed / 61 wins vs. #3 seed / 55 wins
Best record in NBA (tie) vs. 5th best record in NBA
#6 in Offense vs. 5th in Offense
#7 in Defense vs. 19th in Defense
#2 in 3PTFG% vs. #3 in FG%
Lost in the Semi's to a LOWER seed vs. lost in ECF to the #1 seed / eventual NBA Champions

Conclusion:

1) LeChump had the same OR better level of talent around him, relative to the respective league competition at the time
2) LeChump failed to make that talent better because (by his own admission) he wasn't good enough to be "the man" every night
3) Jordan embraced the challenge of competition, and through hard-work, dedication and effort he led his Bulls to the Championship the next season (91) while LeBron ran like a bitch to AVOID competition, and collude with other superstars to form a Super Team

Discuss why these facts will undoubtedly upset many AG posters.

People need to remember that even Dwight Howard beat lebron and went to the finals

LeBron averaged 38/8/8 in that series, without him, the Cavs get swept.

The Magic were withOut their second-best player / all-star PG in that series and LeChump STILL couldn't get it done against a lower seed.

2009 Cavs
#1 Seed / 66 wins
Best record in NBA
#4 in Offense
#3 in Defense
#2 in 3-PTFG%

2010 Cavs
#1 seed / 61 wins
Best record in NBA (tie)
#6 in Offense
#7 in Defense
#2 in 3PTFG%

Yeah... bums.

You know the stats right? You seem to be a stat guy. Post the pts ast reb stats for those teammates.

Cavs in 2009 had the league's best record, home court throughout, MVP, COTY, 2 all stars, one borderline past all star, elite defense and offense....got murdered by the magic

...the lower seeded Magic, who were withOut their second-best player / all-star PG.

Whole lotta butthurt in here.

I've noticed as LeBron continues to dominate and close the gap between himself and Jordan with each season, the angst level from Bulls fans has risen considerably.

Of course they won't admit it but people don't type up essays everyday about players that don't matter and aren't a threat.

Psssst: LeBron isn't closing any gaps with "second place" finishes (ie; Finals 'appearances').
