Even with Wade and Bosh on the court....

Most of you were still whining about this cat not having any help just last year.

How'd they play in last years Finals?

You can't just name names and not acknowledge the context upon which they played

Wade's health was in free fall

And Bosh was not much more than a role player post injury 2012

Those Miami teams were incredibly flawed

They couldn't make the playoffs (38 wins) even though they replaced Lebron with 3 all-star quality players and a new youthful bench while Lebron just took a Cleveland team with relative no namers 2 wins from winning it all...

best part is LBJ has had the most help out of anyone in history, he goes to whatever team he wants, he gets the GM to sign whoever he wants........and still goes 2/6

So does help have anything to do with performance anymore or is it just about names? Lebron had help in the '11 finals when he had a teammate performing at a high level. That's help.

His teammates completely failed him in last year's finals. He had no help.

I know you're trolling, but come on.

The point is you guys aren't consistent.


If his Teammates are all star caliber and they're taking the step back so Lebron can do his thing but they still end up losing then it becomes he needs more help, but if his Teammates are system players who lack talent then it becomes he makes his Teammates better, yet if they lose he still needs help.

I wouldn't even say Wade and Bosh took steps back for LeBron their last two years in Miami. The stats are exactly the same, maybe even worse.

Has any other player done this?

If they're exactly the same then what they were doing translated to wins. Wade obviously wasnt there physically as he was in previous years, but come on, he's still Dwade who can create his own shot and form some sort of threat for opposing Defenses, they just lost , as a Team.

All Lebron Teams seem to come with the tag "He needs more help" whenever they lose and if they were still averaging the same numbers as the previous two years, what exactly changed last year that made them "worse" for people?

Eh, LeBron wasn't that great by his standards either. He was underwhelming and inconsistent outside of that brilliant performance in game 2. He was clearly outplayed by Kawhi Leonard during the 2 biggest games of the series on his home court, he's a role player but looked like an All-Star in games 3-5 with LeBron defending him.

It was very similar to Durant's 2012 Finals. His efficiency was great, and his stats look pretty good on paper, but the rest of his game just wasn't there, his defense was mediocre, his play-making wasn't the same and he was a turn over machine. His lack of a killer instinct and passiveness in moments when the team needed him to step up was clearly an issue as well.

Um, their finals production? What exactly are you arguing right now? They were terrible on both ends in the Finals. LeBron was the only guy who could even do anything out there.

He was just as bad if you actually watched the series instead of reading stat lines.
