Except that the East has been utter garbage for the past 20 years. Which explains Lebron's 3-6 Finals record. (Not good enough, should not have been in the Finals in the first place). So again, how could he lose to Dwight Howard with a 66 win team?

How did the Mavs as a 67 win team lose to a 42 win team? How did Duncan as the #1 seed lost to a #8 seed?

This has been explained multiple times. The Cavs outside LeBron were utter trash. The bigs on the Cavaliers couldn't defend their own shadow, let alone Dwight, who massacred them.

LeBron should have averaged 50/20/20 in that series according to LeBron haters.

They all choked. If the GOAT is on a 66 win team, then he shouldn't be losing to Dwight Howard as the heavy favorite. The Lebron stans can make all the excuses they want with the typical "all blame goes to Lebron's teammates, he needs more help", but the sum total still equals 66 wins.

Maybe if Lebron was more capable of adjusting to the players on his team, rather than stacking up stats with Lebron ball, the he would have better results against tougher teams.

You can make all the excuses you want for 1-9, but if Ordan was more capable of adjusting to the players on his team, rather than stacking up stats with Ordan ball, then he would have better results against tougher teams.

He actually did, but you're just trolling.

Now, your boy had home court advantage against Dwight and what did he do? Yeah, he lost.

Know what MJ never did? That's right, he never lost with home court advantage.

Ask his garbage can teammates for making him lose

1/9 when you remove 2 of the greatest shots in NBA history. And that is with him picking his own teammates. So either LBJ is shit when it comes to picking teammates, or his teammates don't give him enough help. Which one is it? Good luck trying to explain that one.

Yikes!

It's not about the fking stats.

This is what Bran stans will NEVER comprehend

True basketball impact is NOT encapsulated by stats and never will be.
