You should Bush this thread. It’s a stan fueled spin off of the other thread about the 09 Cavs. No one believes the Cavs would’ve won or had a chance except LeGBT

I know @CHICAGO is a follower, but you don't have to try to influence a grown ass man.

He commented, so he obviously thinks it's a good thread

How about you shut the fukk up and do the same, fam?

I doubt he thinks it’s a good thread.

As a Bron stan, Lakers probably sweep that Cavs team

I do not trust Mo Williams as your second guy in any situation

Lakers were hungry after losing in 08
Phil >>>>>>>> that other dude with the glasses

now Cavs 16 vs Lakers 09

 

[darius19]

Lakers won both games in the regular season if I remember correctly.

I’d say LA in 5 or 6. Bron didn’t yet have that killer instinct, I think Kobe would’ve got to him. and LA was overall a better team.

 

[Marc Spector]

Lakers had Kobe and a frontcourt that could create shots. Cleveland lacked the depth and skilled bigs to contend imo.

Bu bu bu bu but @Rhakim and @ISO told me it’s playing “Stan wars” to think the Cavs that year had no shot

Nikka Cavs lost in ECF and Lakers won the titles I don’t know what exactly OP thought was gonna happen in this thread

Y’all nikkas don’t even objectively talk about basketball or possible outcomes or any X’s and O’s

Just because the Lakers won the title doesn’t mean a series against a different team couldn’t have a different outcomes based off matchups and external factors

I didn’t come in here for a reason we talked about it plenty in that thread. And I straight up told ya ass Lakers have an experience and front court advantage but we just don’t know how a series could go. Shyt is very complex.

U still have no rebuttal to Artest and Aaron Brooks taking the Lakers 7. To Denver’s inability to inbound balls in the clutch dooming them. To Wade getting bounced in the First Round in a very winnable matchup but somehow being able to lead the Cavs to the Finals against all odds. U don’t watch games like that my nikka and it’s cool.
