Are people really using the fact that the Celtics took the Heat to 7 games in 2012?
Wade was injured the entire playoffs, had to get his knee drained, and he needed surgery, an entire off-season, and a couple of months in the regular season to get back to game shape.
Bosh was injured the VAST majority if the playoffs and didn't even participate in the Olympics because he was injured. And why are people acting like Lebron is mentally weak? LeBron has constantly went off whenever people try to talk crap about Jim. The last player that talked crap about LeBron got his entire team completely roasted by Lebron in an elimination game.
Ask Pierce, Garnett, and Rondo how talking trash works on Bron. Ask the Pacers. LeBron isn't some weak dude.
And defenses weren't better in the 90s, they were more physical but not better. Zones, rotations, team defense, transition defense, and the like are all much better today. Nikkas in here acting like every team was knocking dudes out like the Bad Boy Pistons.
If you let Lebron handcheck, use his strength, and play physical then he would shut damn near anyone he wants.
That said, Bulls in 6.
