1.5*/7 LeBron James cruise

[G0ATbe]

3 straight finals losing streak. Will be tied for longest losing streak in NBA history! (with Jerry West, Larry Foust, Elgin Baylor)

Hop on board boys!

[Dray n Klay]

But it already happened..





Kobe 1.5* FMVPs in 7 Finals







0.5* split with Gasol for FMVP in 2010

Cavs had no chance in [COLOR="DarkRed"]2015 Finals[/COLOR]

The Cavs had a chance, but Lebron only shot 39% while allowing a 7 ppg role player (Iggy) to be > Curry.. Iggy averaged 17 ppg, so that's a 10 point swing.

But even WITH Lebron shooting 39% and allowing Iggy an extra 10 ppg, the Cavs were still competitive and won 2 games - clearly, if he holds Iggy to 7 ppg and shoots 50%, the Cavs win easily.

Not much Lebron could've done in [COLOR="DarkGreen"]2007 Finals[/COLOR]

Many guys played better against the same Spurs team:

[COLOR="Navy"]Lebron vs. Spurs in 2007 Finals:[/COLOR][COLOR="blue"] 22 ppg on 35%[/COLOR]

Melo vs. Spurs in 2007 1st Rd: [COLOR="Red"]27 ppg on 48%[/COLOR]

Dirk vs. Spurs in 2007[COLOR="White"]..[/COLOR] WCF: [COLOR="Red"]27 ppg on 53%[/COLOR]

Kobe vs. Spurs in 2008[COLOR="White"]..[/COLOR] WCF: [COLOR="Red"]29 ppg on 53%[/COLOR]

The reason for Lebron's worse efficiency was JUMPSHOOTING EFFICIENCY:

[COLOR="White"]....................... [/COLOR]midrange jumpshot FG%[COLOR="White"].....[/COLOR] 3-point jumpshot FG%[COLOR="White"].....[/COLOR] Jumpshot proportion of offense

Lebron 2007 Finals .............[COLOR="red"]14.8........................... 20.0............................... 52.2[/COLOR]
Dirk 2006 WCF ..................41.3........................... 50.0 .............................. 61.2
Melo 2007 1st Rd ...............37.5........................... 50.0 .............................. 59.1
Kobe 2008 WCF .................50.0........................... 33.3............................... 63.3

Everyone shot well on jumpers against the Spurs, EXCEPT Lebron - the so the Spurs jumpshooting defense clearly wasn't prohibitive - Lebron just can't shoot.

Cavs had no chance in [COLOR="darkgreen"]2007 Finals[/COLOR]

Not true - despite Lebron's 22 ppg on 35%, all 4 games were single-digit affairs, including 1-possession nail-biters in Games 3 and 4.. (edit: Game 1 was 11 pt game)

The Cavs had a great defense, but just needed a consistent volume scorer to win.

Lebron had no chance in [COLOR="navy"]2014 Finals[/COLOR]

Not true - Lebron's defense was very good the first 2 games against Kawhi (9 ppg on 43%), and not surprisingly, the Heat were tied 1-1... They were competitive with the Spurs, just like OKC and Dallas were, who held Kawhi to 12 ppg on 45%.

But then Lebron gave up in Game 3, because he's weak with no perseverance - Kawhi proceeded to run roughshod the last 3 games for 24 ppg on 69% - this is the biggest reason the series changed - [COLOR="Navy"]that's a 15 point swing[/COLOR].

Better defense on Kawhi would've kept the games closer, and the Heat could've WON the series if Lebron coupled his better defense on Kawhi with more offensive aggression - he only averaged 17 shot attempts, which was HALF his attempts in 2015 Finals that won 2 games with a worse supporting cast (the injured Cavs) against a better team (Warriors)..

Obviously, if Lebron plays good defense on Kawhi AND doubles his shot attempts to 33 per game like the 2015 Finals, the Heat would've won.

Only on ISH is it a bad thing to go to the finals six straight times. (if the Cavs go this year which is very likely) No wonder all the other boards think we're all idiots...

Why pretend that Bran hasn't colluded and absolutely eliminated even the possibility of any real competition in the east?

What do you get out of it?
