Lakers got hosed with shitty calls that game. I actually remember watching that and turning it off because the reffing was so bad.

I don't remember the calls, but I'm sure it was mostly because of that. Even if you watch that clip during all the bullshit and talking going on the Lakers got hit with a second delay of game after Odom got ejected because the Lakers didn't put someone on the floor fast enough to take his spot.

Yeah I think it was the Magic year, I remember Lebron having something like a 5-20 game against them and him looking hopeless against them because they had Ariza on him man to man and Gasol + Bynum behind him. He couldn't do anything on that lineup.

So in actuality, they are thankful his 66 win team lost to the mighty Dwight Howard
so true bro .. .. lot of embarrassment saved for bran fam there.
Lakers had some of the best rim protection in the game.. and we all know how Bran responds to that in the Finals lol..
also had one of the best lockdown defenders in the game playing at peak of his career in Trevor Ariza .. combine that with hungry Kobe down to go god mode ..
LA in 6 or less ..

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.
This right there is why you don't blame Lebron. To take that team and win 66 games? Unbelievable. Only a Prime Shaquille O'Neal could lead this team to 60 + wins. They also swept the playoffs to that point and ran into a hot Orlando team.

Shaq wasn't on the team that year.

It was '09... yet in '10 it was the other way around and you probably believe LAL still would have won that year.
Lol at the superior defense argument... like you really know.
Kobe would have styled all in his face.... while getting outplayed? Are you really saying Kobe would have outplayed LeBron in that finals series?
You fckn lost it

So now Kobe stans want to argue that losing in the finals(while being up 3-1, with 2 games at home) is somehow better than losing in the ECF? Lebron has seriously mind-f*cked these losers. face the facts! LBJ > Kobe, the sooner you realize this the less dumbass threads you'll have to make.

Orlando was the #1 defense in the league and Lebron averaged 38.5/8.3/8.0 on 48.7 %FG/59.1 %TS against them. Through the first five games, he was in straight up god mode.

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 )
Weren't you one of the biggest advocates of losing in the first round >>> losing in the Finals? I see your agenda changed once it was the Warriors that lost in the Finals Tpols is the same guy that said "KD is just what GS needs". But will b.itch a storm about LeBron having too much help if they sign an over-the-hill vet.

NBA sixth man of the year
Re: How come bron doesnt get any shit for losing in the ECF's w/ a 66 win team?
Winning 66 games with that cast is a championship in itself. That was a 25-win team without LeBron.
Not winning the championship with UMVP + 2 All NBA teamers + COY + arguably best bench in basketball, all while having a record breaking 73-win season is a million times worse than any other 'disappointment' in NBA history.
Plenty of teams have won 60+ games and failed to win the championship or even make it to the Finals. GS is alone in their accomplishment on the other hand and will never be forgotten because of that. Who even remembers or cares about the '09 Cavs besides desperate, utterly-defeated Kobe fans hell bent on making one stupid post after another?

He's an easy target. If someone wants to get a point across -- just throw LeBron's name in there. You could be watching cartoons with your kids and you don't like it, you say, 'Blame it on LeBron.' If you go to the grocery store and they don't have the milk that you like, you just say, 'It's LeBron's fault.'

Isn't OP one of those idiots who use finals record for everything? By his logic, ECF losses shouldn't matter
