And they're 1-5. Its been a very rough stretch. Despite all the talk about super team and stacked cast, when Lebron isn't playing on an other worldly level that team is highly beatable, always has been.
And as bad as those numbers are by Lebron standards, they still get you selected to an all star game over a full season
You're trying to make an agenda-driven point that doesn't really have anything to do with reality. The main reason for most of the losses in the Heat's down stretches is that they're are bad on defense this year, which is the fault of a lot of guys losing a step or not putting in as much effort/commitment defensively, including but not limited to LeBron.
Its not agenda driven at all, its simple reality. And im not arguing for Lebron as the MVP this year, its Durants award to lose. If you find an agenda in what i said, i think you're merely exposing your own agenda here. Simple projection, obvious as it gets
All im saying is his cast is not in any way, shape or form some "super team" or "stacked" no matter how many times casual fans want to repeat it. Zero size, awful on the boards (unprecedented level bad for a contender), forever destined to a defensive ceiling because of that lack of paint protection. Even when the Heat were clicking defensively in past years they were always a cut below the truly elite defensively because of this. Especially since they moved Bosh to Center
Rely on one guy to lead you in scoring, rebounding and assists, incredibly rare for any team let alone a team chasing a threepeat. Health questions abound with Wade (and even Bosh) during both title runs. The people who try and treat these titles like they are the equivalent of team USA gold medals are lost. They need him to play on an incredibly high level, this recent stretch is just another example
