Re: The Lebron '20 Thread (Pt. 6)
Probably 2011 after the Boston series honestly. Start of the playoffs in 2015 is probably the best answer though.

Honestly felt more so in 2011, 2010, 2009, 2013, 2017, 2016 in that order.
I didn't feel 2012 at first if going into the playoffs but the Derrick Rose injury changed things.

2011 I didn't see a way we would lose
2013 too, but things took a turn ofc
2015 I would have if Love and or Kyrie could play
2009 and 2010 I was confident, but I was also younger and I don't think I understood how bad the flaws of those teams were until it was happening.
2012 I was confident once we were in the finals, even after that game 1 loss

Actually yeah definitely 2011. I was convinced and I had no nerves because I wanted the heat to lose.

Re: The Lebron '20 Thread (Pt. 6)
On a side note, LAC -295 next game moneyline
Considering betting on them so I would be happy either way. Would rather lose a couple hundred bucks than LAC to go on, but if LAC wins, I rather take some free cash

Forget about 2011,but yes this is the right answer after the series vs Boston.

Vs the KD GSW in their peak...
That 2017 GSW is arguably the greatest team ever

Lacking basic logic, as is tradition.

Good old Uncle JB gotta love it
LeBron's NBA Cup MVP is more valuable than either of KD's Finals MVPs. This is the word of the Lord

Game 3 they had. Then it is 2-2. They also split in the regular season. Rockets added Barkley in 1997 and it didn't help them get there title back.
But I am still the only one here who believes the Spurs would have beaten the Warriors that year had Kawhi not gone down in game 1.

There is more money on Denver's line
Trez this series has been comical. Hes basically Kenneth Faried
and the +/- numbers when Mpj and Kawhi are both on the floor is very interesting. Nuggs are winning by a wide margin

I feel for Skip tomorrow with Shannon though. He should call in sick and let Broussard or Rob Parker deal with Shannon. Shannon is the one I am more worried about normally though. He said he couldn't sleep after the Lakers lost game 1 to Portland.

You know they lost 1 game in the playoffs right?
Barkley was done then
KD and Curry in their prime MVP years.
What team has had the back to back mvps on their team PLUS two more all stars in Draymond and Klay.
PLUS role guys like Iggy (fmvp), West, Mcgee, Zaza, Livingston, Barnes
Cavs could and should have won that game, but missed open shots, GS hitting shots, and a couple dumb plays and it swung
Who knows what the Spurs would have done

I would be happier losing cash to see the Clippers lose and for the Lakers to make the finals
I'm not in a situation where I need the cash, but if I have to deal with LAC advancing, I rather be compensated
If I lose $$, well I would lose half a days work I guess, but I would be happy for a long long time
