Blowouts are bound to happen in playoffs.
Against an overwhelming favorite, yes. It feels awkward when it happens to a team that's evenly matched.

You guys will need your bench players to perform better offensively on the road.

You're missing the point. His team was so stacked all he ever needed to do was score and even when he didnt, it has already been proven his team mates step up to the plate to bail him out. Lebron does more than just score and carries most of the offensive work load for his team. No wonder his team went from 57 wins to 55 wins without him.

The cheek of this guy bringing up the 2007 cavs to prove how stacked lebrons teams are LMAO!
Lmaooo Jordan did more than just score. There's a reason he led the league in steals multiple times, made all-defense teams etc. Can you list any playoff series the GOAT didn't lead the Bulls in scoring? Jordan is not a stats padder else he could easily have led his team in all categories if he wanted to

Besides I can bring out multiple playoff games from that 2007 Cavs team where LeNomad was led in scoring. The 07 ECF was just one example

There were better alternatives who were willing to take the fight. It doesnt even matter anyway, only a matter of time until wilder knocks Flex Mentallo spark out and we dont have to deal with eddie hearn and matchrooms shenanigans anymore. One champion, one name, one face.

Points win games! Not rebounds, not assists, points! All the other stuff are means to an end. The points are the end

I don't really care who you think is stacked or not that's not my concern. MJ was averaging 15 more PPG while shooting at a higher percentage. In this 'stacked' team

You brought out an outlier of a game to prove a non existent point! I countered that with the much maligned 2007 team to show you that even in that season LeNomad had help but you're still shifting the goalposts. If it's not about scoring then why did you make it about scoring?

So without the means how do you arrive at the end? How do you score without facilitation? How do you get possessions and extra possessions to score without rebounding?

Your point is your man was a specialist in one aspect of the game. LBJ is the whole package.

Lebron led a team past the 07 nets with jason kidd, vince carter and richard jefferson in their prime, then beat the immovable pistons leading his team in most major categories with friggin booby gibson and ilgauskas, thats what you call help? The cheek of it cheesy cheesy

Lool stop complaining when I shoot you with your own gun. You brought up the GOAT shooting badly and the Bulls won in a blowout, I showed you LeNomad playing badly and the Cavs also won in a blowout! You can't keep bringing outlier examples to prove nonexistent points

Possessions and rebounding are useless when you can't make buckets. If the Rockets went even 3/27 instead of going 0/27 they would have beaten Golden State last year. Points is still the name of the game

Lmao you mean the same 07 Nets that finished 41-41 grin grin. Do you know if the Nets played in the West they wouldn't even make the playoffs?? Weakass team in a weak ass conference.

Even the 'immoveable' Pistons would not finish higher than 4th seed in the West and would have been killed by any of the teams that finished ahead of them.

Of course they helped. On defense, on rebounding. You didn't know your LeNomad was still a notorious brick merchant at the time? He shot 41% from the field overall and 35% in the Finals. How could they possibly help more with scoring when only LeNomad by himself was shooting 10/30 in games

No, i brought up facts to prove how the bald gambler was bailed out multiple times by his stacked teams and you brought up the 07 cavs. cheesy

Maybe if they had facilitation they would have better shots and would make more buckets. Assists dont just come without others scoring as well so these things are tied together.

Now whos moving goal posts? When did this become a comparison between east and west? how many times have lower seeded teams beat better seeded teams in the playoffs especially the teams with better players? Didnt the nets beat a higher seeded raptors that year? 22 year old Lebron beat a team with prime kidd carter and jefferson. And then he beat an experienced pistons team with a better record to get to the finals.

Of course they helped. On defense, on rebounding. Your LeNomad was still a notorious brick merchant at the time. He shot 41% from the field overall and 35% in the Finals. How could they possibly help more with scoring when only he was shooting 10/30 in games
NO He shot 44% from the field and 36% in the finals, and thats mostly due to his bad 3 point shooting. Plus he led his team in points assists and steals and second place in rebounds in that playoffs. The man made the finals with ilgauskas as his second best player. Put some respect on his name!

Lol you have no argument here. Unless you can show me just 1 playoff series where Michael Jordan was not the best player on his team. 1 or two outlier games cannot possibly work against Jordan because we have LeNomad getting bailed out numerous times as well going by your logic

Are you serious? When did Houston Rockets have facilitation issues? They flat out missed numerous wide open looks!!
Assists are great but assists still involve you putting the game in someone else's hands. As a player your scoring is what you can control

I'm telling you that you're greatly exaggerating the degree of difficulty. The Nets were a mediocre team that beat another mediocre team playing in a mediocre conference. It's not about the higher or lower seed. It's not a coincidence that the Spurs had it tougher getting out of the West than winning the NBA Finals

And no 34 year old Jason Kidd was not in his prime.

The Pistons were 3 years removed from a title. They were dying

Nahi nahi. He shot 41% in the post season and 35 in the Finals. You can't get away with such bricklaying against better teams out West

And I'm telling you getting to the Finals is a lot easier playing against the dross in the Eastern Conference

Me vex? Haba! You know it's just a harmless meme. I actually agree with you. Thanks to KD this post season. Even newbies who started watching know he's been inconsistent for reasons known to him and I mentioned it here yesterday and the last game. Anyways, did you see the meme? grin grin
