My point is that you are claiming the Celtics underachieved. How? We all know they were likely going back to back.
As for your "if we go by who is favored" statement that you put out there, did I say something to the contrary? I'm not a LeBron hater.. what he's done is impressive as hell and I have defended him many times after losing to Golden State because he was outmatched and especially in 2015 he didn't even have Kyrie and Love.. I never got on LeBron for losing those series.
But in 2010 the Cavs probably should have won and I'd say in '09 they should have beat the Magic and in 2011 the Heat should have beat the Mavs.
Where the fukk did I say the Celtics underachieved?
I think that Pierce achieved as much as he should have considering how clearly inferior he is to Bron.
I'm just laughing that PP is doing so much bragging when he needs 3-4 stars and a fully healthy roster to beat LeBron no matter what is happening on LeBron's team.
If you think that LeBron was the reason the Cavs didn't win in 2009 or 2010 then you don't know much about basketball and that's that. Both years he was stuck with 4 of the top 5 performers on the court on the other squad, not to mention his teams matched up poorly and were badly outcoached. He played incredible in the 2009 ECF, one of the all-time playoff series, and still lost due to those matchups. He played average in 2010, still completely dominated a 32yo PP who had been 2nd-team All-NBA the previous year, but it wasn't enough to beat a team that had 4 of the top 5 players on the court and better coaching. If you think LBJ alone should have been enough to beat those teams with Mo Williams (a 6'1" glorified 6th man who couldn't create off the dribble or play defense) as his #2 then you have a higher opinion of his talents than I do.
