    Default How come bron doesnt get any shit for losing in the ECF's w/ a 66 win team?

    66 wins. Check.

    Lost in the ECF's. Check.



    this feat, from the above logic is worse than the 73 win warriors losing in the Finals
    ( advancing a whole round further > having 7 more wins )

    Honestly, his stans are so happy he lost against the Magic. He would have got REKT by Kobe's Lakers in the finals

    So in actuality, they are thankful his 66 win team lost to the mighty Dwight Howard

    That team would have been a lottery team without him.

    Because Lebron had a great playoffs that year.

    While Curry had a bad playoffs.

    Great is a word in english that means very good. Bad is a negative word which means the opposite of good.

    If you are still confused, you may visit websters-dictionary.com and dig deeper into this issue yourself.

    Are you serious? Bron has consistently shitted on those Laker teams, and the match up would have been better for them (without the Magic's shooters going hot), but they would have gotten "REKT" ?

    Think, dude... please.

    Lebron led teams have historically dominated Kobe led teams. He more than likely beats Kobe in the finals based on that. Especially considering the individual tear LeBron was on that year in the playoffs.

    Plenty of 60 win teams have failed to make the finals OP.
    How about Kobe not being able to lead a team of Nash, Howard, Gasol and Artest to anything more than an 8 seed? Not to mention some dodgy officiating is the only reason they got into the playoffs. In all reality, they probably don't make it with fair officiating.

    everybody blamed the cavs organization and mike brown for that one.

    I blame Dwight Howard being an absolute beast and guys like Hedo, Rashard, and Pietrus having a career f*cking series. Cavs had nobody to check dwight one on one, and whenever they doubled it was like an automatic 3 point shot was made.

    Rashard was juicing during the playoff run too.

    I think at one point the magic were shooting something like 60% from behind the arc during that series. It was ridiculous.

    Cavs specifically traded for shaq that offseason just so they could have a guy that could check Dwight, and for the most part at least during the regular season in 2010 it worked, BUT they lost to the celts which IMO was a way bigger choke.

    Mo Williams after averaging 17.3 points that year became a complete non factor.

    Zydrunas Ilgauskas/Shaquille O'Neal
    Antawn Jamison/Anderson Varejao
    Jamario Moon/Leon Powe
    Delonte West/Anthony Parker
    Mo Williams/Daniel Gibson

    That's the Cavs starting 5 that year if LeBron wasn't on that team. His supporting cast to say the least wasn't that great. Big Z was old and way past his prime, as well as Shaq and Jamison. Leon Powe was not close to the player he was in Boston for the Celtics. The best player on the team behind LeBron was Mo Williams would fizzled in the playoffs every year he was here.

    I remember the Lakers embarrassing the Cavs twice with Lebron putting up stinkers. I don't know if it was the Magic year or Celtics year, but it was one of those. The rest of the years, Lebron had superior defensive teams but for those 2 years, Kobe would have styled all in Lebron's face to win the chip Be thankful. You have regular season wins superiority

    I want to ay it was the Magic year, because I remember the last year in 2010 the Lakers fans were throwing foam fingers onto the floor because they were so upset the Casv were beating their ass.
