How does Lebron make it to the finals every damn year

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

As a whole, the playoff teams in the east had better records than the west. All teams had a record over .500

Houston was at .500 which was the 8th seed

When talkin about contenders when have we cared about the fukking 8th seed

Clips ain't have no shot to get past GS or even OKC

I think they had a shot but even then. 3/4 contenders in the east

Contenders don't mean shyt unless you make it to the finals. You think San Antonio is sitting around saying we may be out the playoffs but we were contenders FOH man

The top of West was light years ahead of the East

the size of that crack rock that they are smokin to say otherwise must be the size of Lebron's head

But we're talking about who has the toughest road. If you have to play more contenders then........

Because he is one of the best players in NBA History...Top 4 all time when it's all said and done.

But that chart man... @ Larry Johnson being the best player on that team 99 knicks team. Houston and Sprewell are the reason the knicks made the finals.

 

[Liquid]

Yeah that's why he's losing

The east was actually better than the west this year

You guys really need to stop with this.

It's a combo of his individual greatness, intelligence, and malleability on the court and his foresight, ruthlessness and much maligned (me included) team construction off it.

Are we really still talking superteams after last season? There was nothing super about that squad that got to the Finals last year and the "super team" he left was chilling at the bottom of the playoff bracket before Bosh went out. As far as level of comp goes, the west has indeed been better however that gap is sorely overblown. West champs regularly run through that conference with ease including the two times Bron's squad knocked them off. Beyond that what squad could he go to on the West that wouldn't instantly become a "superteam"? Off top the only ones that I can think of are the Lakers and the Suns. And the Lakers got cap room and the #2 pick.

He's allowed to spearhead the forming of super teams. No one else is.

He's allowed?

No you're talking about the tougher road. Cavs were the #1 seed. Pistons had a better record than Houston. Next they played ATL who had a better record than Portland. ATL also had the same record as Boston & Miami. Toronto won 1 less game than Cleveland but the Cavs had such a easy road

Can't forget Magic in the west during the 80's.

Five titles and eight finals appearances between '80 - '88.

you're right.

I stand corrected.
