What if LeBron actually went to NYK in 2011 and Bosh went to Miami

[NBAplayoffs2001]

Who would win the titles from 2011 to 2014?

[Mr.Kite]

Dallas 2011
OKC 2012
Spurs 2013
Spurs 2014

[NBAplayoffs2001]

Dallas 2011
OKC 2012
Spurs 2013
Spurs 2014

I think
Dallas 2011
Knicks 2012
Spurs two-peat 2013 and 2014

[SamuraiSWISH]

2011 Chicago
2012 Boston
2013 Spurs
2014 Spurs

[ImKobe]

2011 Dallas
2012 OKC
2013 Spurs
2014 Spurs

2011 - Chicago makes the Finals
2012 - Boston makes the Finals
2013 - Knicks make the Finals
2014 - Knicks make the Finals

[SamuraiSWISH]

2011 Dallas
2012 OKC
2013 Spurs
2014 Spurs

2011 - Chicago makes the Finals
2012 - Boston makes the Finals
2013 - Knicks make the Finals
2014 - Knicks make the Finals

West homer much? Boston took Miami 7 games, OKC series wasn't near as competitive. Though if they aren't playing in Miami nightlife, maybe Harden doesn't go MIA in the Finals. Chicago would've uglied the game up in a way that would frustrate Dallas.

Different match-ups and the OKC series would have gone 6-7 games if they don't get robbed in Game 2/don't choke game 4 away.

The Boston series only went so far because they missed a lot of FTs and Bosh was injured for the most part. OKC struggled because they couldn't stop Lebron from going to the rim, who shot like 20% on jumpshots in that series and every shooter on Miami went off on them in key moments. Boston would have been a better match-up for them.

Chicago would have given Dallas a tougher series but they were a team of destiny that year. I actually think the same zone defense would have worked on Rose, who isn't a better jumpshooter than Lebron.

I'm not a West homer, just made the picks based on match-ups.

[Lebronxrings]

miami would miss the playoffs every year.

[guy]

Clearly Miami would be a lottery team every year and the Knicks would be juggernauts and win 4 straight titles. We all know that Lebron has never had any help in his career and every other possible scenario is better then the one he was actually in.

[NBAplayoffs2001]

Just thought about it more. Agreed, 2012 Celtics win it all. They would beat my Knicks in a 7 games series probably in 6. Rondo was on fire that series

[SamuraiSWISH]

The Boston series only went so far because they missed a lot of FTs and Bosh was injured for the most part.

Bosh's injury made no difference ultimately. KG always frightened him with his mere presence alone into not playing up to his normal capabilities. Same way he did it to Gasol constantly. Soft mentalities got bullied by KG's intimidating aura.

[greatest-ever]

2011 Chicago
2012 Boston
2013 Spurs
2014 Spurs

Chicago would've lacked the neccesary offensive firepower to beat the mavs. There's no guarantee they would've beaten a healthy celtics.

Good point. But how come no one mentions that in their critiques of 2011 D-Rose, and his performance against the absurdly athletic Miami Heat defense on the perimeter?
