uhhh, ya? Why do you think Lebron had to play so well to eek out 2 series wins? And they were down 3-2 at one point against the C's and Love out with a concussion. I legit dont think anybody but Lebron gets that team to the finals


You could easily make the case that the Celtics series went longer than it had to.

The Cavs roster was clearly better. They had 2 All Stars, a bunch of good role players and Championship level experience.

You're telling me a rookie Tatum lead squad with no All Stars was better? Give me a break.


I swear people like you aren't even worth debating because you always have an agenda and you never argue in good faith. Since when did a 37 year old Korver, George Hill, Rodney Hood, and K-Love averaging 15 ppg on 51 TS% become "good" role players? Go home, you're drunk.


Kevin Love was literally an All Star that year. And who cares how old Krover was?

George Hill and Hood were good role players and still ARE good role players in the NBA. What are you even talking about?

What great supporting cast did the Celtics have that year. Scary Terry??? :lol: :lol:

Compelling argument bro. Yet I'm the one not worth debating. :crazy:

But clearly you have no "agenda" unlike me.

28th in the league defensively. Youre looking at 1 side of the ball; that was a league worst defensive supporting cast.

LeBron's Cavs team were always bad defensively and switched the flip in the playoffs. LeBron never even bothered putting effort into defense till he came to the Lakers.

2015 to 2017 LeBron was very good defensively. LeBron was easily a top 5 defender or higher in 2016. 2018 it was hopeless seeing as how the rest of the team was an NBA worst type defense.

Lebron's Cavs were decent defensively and became better. But this was a hopeless squad after making the finals 3 years straight and getting older every year. It was a league worst defensive cast. Youre asking KD to replicate an all time playoff run against teams who were 1st,5th and 11th defensively...thats a tall task

All time run?

Did LeBron even place a top 15 player in this playoff run through the East in 2018?

This was probably the weakest East I could remember.

He played very well but competition was terrible.
