Who would win in a 7 game series: 2010 Lakers or 2016 Cavs?

[Uncle Drew]

I'll take the team that beat a 73-win, record breaking squad.

[scuzzy]

poor matchups for Cleveland.

Tristan cant guard Pau and wont be able to dominate glass like he's used to amongst a true Forest of 7 footers. Kevin Love no way in hell could guard Lamar Odom whose basically a longer Draymond Green.. Lakers have a defender that isnt going to get punked by Bran ala demarre carrol in Ron Artest, and they have the size to really bother kyrie and bron's forays into the paint. Sprinkle a little black mamba onto that and you get Lakers in 5/6.

Umm

2010 Artest gave up 27 and 38 pts to Lebron

Worse than anything Carroll gave up this playoffs

Lakers have the length on Clev for sure, CAVS have the speed and D

Love wouldn't even guard Odom, Tristan/Lebron would

Love guards Gasol

Size wouldn't bother Kyrie, Klay had damn near 6 inches on him

Wasn't even impressed with Bynum or Gasols performance facing Z and Varajao

[ArbitraryWater]

Bynum was always the no minutes playing bum on those teams... now hes a part of the big man tandem that will dominate the glass.. some things change quick.

[tpols]

Love guards Gasol

people might say I dont give pau enough credit but prime version would abuse 6'7 Love so badly it wouldnt even be funny.

and kyrie was constantly trying to get klay switched off him.. that's besides point. Point was the help defense.. Cavaliers face a lot of stubby, small teams starting small frontcourts.. paul millsap, patrick patterson, luis scola, al horford, even Draymond Green as good as he is and as much problems as he causes is only 6'7.. Lakers had few guys legit 7'0 + and that makes finishing around the rim particularly harder.

chuck hayes low key mightve been the strongest guy in the NBA.. lower body anyways. skinny spot up kevin love is no comparison

[G0ATbe]

Cavs are far more stacked but Godbe would find a way. There's a reason he's the one with the winning record in the finals.

[Bankaii]

Funny how Kobetards talk about how stacked the Cavs are but now they wouldn't be enough.

This is the same Lakers that struggled against a Boston team that Lebron was expected to beat with Mo Williams ffs
On the other hand the Lakers wouldn't even come close to beating the Warriors.
That Lakers team really wasn't that great, they don't have nearly enough scoring to keep up with the Cavs high powered offense.

Kyrie destroys Fisher then shuts him down on the other end.
Artest is too slow for Lebron. If it becomes a battle of physicality Lerbon would easily win. And the whole "Lebron can't score against rim protection" bs has been debunked multiple times, stop it.

If the Cavs can shut down Steph, Kobe would be a piece of cake.

maybe "Lerbon" would, whoever that may be, but Lebron with no jumpshot like he had in 2010 to keep the defense honest would be given the rondo treatment, but instead of seeing a crowd of petite 6'7 - 6'10 guys in the paint like he ussually does today, he'd see a couple long 7 footers and world peace putting some dents in on the side (hopefully he wouldnt get him suspended). They could even throw Kobe on bran a bit like they did rajon, and just go underneath / dare perpetually.

easy win.

Are we talking about 2010 Lebron dumbass?

Judging by the fact that your entire post is nothing but baseless insults of Lebron (just like 99% of your other posts) you're not worth giving a legit response to.

[ArbitraryWater]

The Lakers were the best in a league where the no inside presence having, no 3 point shooters besides Allen/Pierce having, outside top 10 defensive ranked teams being, Celtics, were the bext best contender..

Read the sentence and comprehend the context. This is a thread about 2016 cavs. I'm saying this years Lebron had no jumpshot like he had in 2010, so the Lakers could afford to sag off him more now (like every team does nowadays) then they could in 2010 .. rendering your comparison of what the 2010 cavs did or didnt do useless.

[Mr Feeny]

Lebron has a 16-6 career record against Kobe. He OWNS him. Cavs are not losing

using regular season records is such a bran thing to do. you would think watchin the playoffs this year, or any year really would have put some sense into your head.. but, nope.

[Megabox!]

Playing 2nd option to Prime Shaq will have that kind of effect on your finals record
