What if the 2019 Lakers made playoff as 8 seed - how bad do they lose to KD Warriors?

[3ball]

So why would anyone knock MJ for losing in the 8 vs 1 matchup when lebron's 30-40 win teams would've lost too?..

lebron is simply lucky that his 30-40 win teams missed the playoffs in 05' and 19', otherwise he'd have multiple 1st round losses too.. lebron only made the playoffs with high seeds/good teams and easy 1st round matchups

Kyrie averaged 6-10 more than Pippen in the playoffs and Finals with better efficiency:

Kyrie 16-17 Playoffs... 25.5 on 47%
Pip... 96-98 Playoffs... 17.6 on 41%
Pip... 91-93 Playoffs... 20.3 on 48%

Kyrie 16-17 Finals... 28.0 on 46%
Pippen all 6 Finals.. 19.0 on 42%

And Kyrie's ORtg advantage means more than Pippen's DRtg advantage because Kyrie's net rating is higher:

Net efficiency

Pippen 1998 Playoffs... 8.3
Pippen 1998 Finals....... 7.0

Pippen 1997 Playoffs... 8.6
Pippen 1997 Finals....... 1.1

Kyrie 2016 Playoffs..... 10.0
Kyrie 2016 Finals........... 6.2

Kyrie 2017 Playoffs...... 9.4

So kyrie is far superior, while Wade and AD are already ranked higher than Pippen

I'll rely on these FACTS, and you keep relying on revisionist history and wishful thinking.

AD's Pelicans did better against the 18' Warriors than Lebron's Cavs, who lost by record amount.. so make no mistake, AD is the difference - lebron was lottery in the West (2019) until AD arrived

AD's Pelicans probably beat the 18' Cavs... Similarly, the 14' Mavs probably beat the Heat that year (Mavs took Spurs 7).. okc and Portland (the Spurs'other opponents) also beat the Heat.. the Spurs ONLY went off against the solved bron-ball.. the other offenses they faced made them work harder so they couldn't go off

Lebron has always been overrated

At every stage of his career, there are massive cases to be made for him being overrated

Agree. OP spends and dedicates his entire life hating on one person. Sad. I'm usually spending my days training my new puppy and doing other productive stuff and what is OP doing? Hating. LOL. I wonder how mods allow this. Gotta be a joke.

Thats all I got to say. Peace out for the meantime.

Lebron most likely never win another championship

Cause NoJonesNoChip

He probably also might be a playoff virgin in the west for the rest of his career. He just isn't that good in the West

It's terrible to think the roster changes made the Lakers successful this year?

Where were they without the roster changes?

So how are the roster changes not the reason for success?

Keep your head in the sand... Lebron is a fraud that did nothing unique until the decision, which manufactured his resume.. his skills, stats, winning and accolades are all inferior

You mean that trash Lakers 'not muh yung core' that is on the Pels this year with 22 wins before Zion?

Dont see any 55 wins or 3rd in MVP votes for Ingram just yet
