re: Is there any way to fairly criticize this game from lebron?

According to the people who truly matter (the people who set the lines), Golden State was never an underdog at any point in this series. They are clearly a top 12 team of all time by any metric. If you look at offensive and defensive efficiency ratings, the fact that they have the league MVP and 2nd best DPOY, had such an unbelievable home record, and such a stellar record in one of the strongest conferences in league history, they are arguably a top 5 team of all time... Certainly any rational observer would cede they are a top 12 team of all time.
