Let's try this a different way...

If MJMJ at the same age, instead of LeCry, was on the court for Cleveland last night, do they win?

I think the answer is obvious
Game woulda been fairly similar.

No idea. All I know is that MJ is 6 and 0 with 6 NBA Finals MVP awards. Ultimate stat, son.

with kyrie out the cavs have basically no chance. if the cavs lose, it literally says nothing about lebron

his starting 5 the rest of this series is going to be delladova, shumpert, lebron, thompson, and mozgov, with only 1 secondary option: JR Smith

and no other ballhandlers

GS is also historically good. they're just a good bit better team than the cavs, and without irving, a lot better team


nice. Impressed you could come up with four excuses for ya boi Brun

This could be Lebron's supporting cast and you would call it an "excuse" to point out he didnt have the better team.

I'm fine with it, but it goes both ways.

If you want to bitch how terrible the teams he plays for are, then i will go right ahead and discount his two titles with the Heat because they never happen without Wade, Bosh, Allen and the rest of the crew

Boom.....checkmate

So you give no credit to MJ either? Who do you give credit to? Nobody?

I mean, it's a brillant PR move

Leave the spotlight of Miami, go to a team that has royally sucked

He either
A) Wins the title and gets all the credit
B) Loses and the fact that Cleveland sucked already is his excuse

It's a win-win situation. He's the anti QB. Get all the credit when winning, take none of the blame when he loses.

So you agree they're not excuses, they're explanations. Got it.

Of course they don't happen without Wade and Bosh, who ever said otherwise?

That being said, I assume you're going to discount Magic, MJ, and Kobe too though, right? Unless you don't want to be consistent.

Yea, I don't think so.

Sure. I can play that way too.

MJ just went 6 for 6 in the finals. That's just pure luck though!!!

You meant an explanation, you conceded that point yourself.

Ok. In any of those finals, was his supporting cast worse than the other superstars supporting cast? The only way your argument works is if you think the bulls teams in those 6 finals were equal to Lebrons teams in his 6 finals

He did have a lot of blame in 2011. There was very little reason for blame in 2007, and 2014.

He wasn't the best player on the team for his first three championships. Shaq ran that show.

You can't bullshite your way out of this one sorry

The narrative earlier in the season was how LeBron had among the more talented teams, and way more talented than the previous Cavs team, with a few No. 1 picks, LeBron's choices as bench players and Kevin Love

Yet now of a sudden there is this grasping of straws with this absurd narrative that Cleveland blows

You and everyone else is so caught up in this that you're repeadtedly mention this without realizing you're proving my point that the East is weak as frick. How else would LeBron and this "shite roster" be able to make the finals if they are so bad as you say they are?

Not sure if you noticed but Love isnt playing. So bringing him up when discussing the Warriors vs Cavs makes zero freaking sense
