Of course no TEAM deserves an asterisk, but would you say that strictly speaking in this series, that the Warriors and LeBron have had similar amounts of hate/criticism directed towards them?Nobody deserves a asterisk.
All I'm gonna say is, Lebron player his hurt and it was unfortunate it didn't pay off. Or won't pay off
You never know, I say the Cavs have a puncher's chance of wining in 7
Lebron "I feel confident because I'm the best player in the world."

Maybe he didn't think that 4 years ago?
Clowns are going to hate. Don't even know why or what. No matter what happens they'll find some reason to hate him more for the outcome. Brons been going to WORK this series and all the chuckleheads have are jokes. 40 pt. triple double last night and almost averaging a 30pt triple double all series. Haters can
Deflections. Diminish Dirk's Top 5 GOAT playoff run to cape for your kang brehs. Lebron, Spo, & Pat Co. were simply out-played, out-coached, and out-managed.
The cavs would've got the most hate as they are now without him
And I guarantee I can find more cavs hate threads than warrior hate threads this series alone

He could've sat bibby as opposed to playing him next to Anthony frequently. That put us at a 4 on 5 disadvantage on defense AND a 3 on 5 disadvantage on offense. He could've changed up our defensive strategy. Our defense basically got worse each game of the series and we gave up 13+ fourth quarter leads in games 2-4 while letting them over 100 the last 2. That's on spoelstra. Bibby getting cooked by barea once he began starting is a huge reason we lost.

When did I say anything to diminish dirk? I said the biggest problem Miami had was coaching Jim carrey ran circles around spo. Not sure if you realize but that's a pretty big part of winning, or are you suggesting spo did a good job in the finals? You'll be the first if so.

I didnt think they would get to the finals this year. Any of you nikkaz who thought they would be very much live in the Finals without Kyrie or Love, stand up now. 
He is the best player not now, but ever. Yeah...he hasnt had a career as GREAT as some other players but its a team sport. The Warriors have the better team...that shouldnt even be up for debate right now. Still, you can put 12 other players with him and he can get them to the finals. Also, this is not the same dude from 2011. He is truly at his peak now mentally and if you cant see he is a better clutch performer, shooter and post player then you are blind. His game has never been as complete than it is now.
If you look back in history, NBA Championship teams have had 1 All-NBA and at least 1-2 All Star caliber players. The last time this wasnt the case was with Detroit in 04. They had some All Star caliber players but I dont think any of them had all-star seasons that year.
If this dude had JUST one other go-to player on his squad right now the Warriors would be done. Not even an All NBA caliber guy, just a go-to guy like Z-Bo or Crawford...this series wouldve been wrapped up. I still believe they really screwed up by trading a defensive player like Wiggins for a low level defender like Love.
The guy doesnt have a prime Gasol or even Horace Grant, much less an all nba guy like Pippen.
In 5 years....you guys will struggle to remember who was even on this Cavs finals team.

How can that possibly be true, when most of this board expected the Warriors to win this series when he went down? A lot of posters have brought up the fact that injuries and "ref bias" will go against how much credit they give the Warriors - I haven't heard similar when it comes to LeBron. There's been more conditions brought to the table if the Warriors win, than there has been for the Cavs.The cavs would've got the most hate as they are now without him
I can find more threads praising LeBron during this series, than threads that praise the Warriors - even with them being up 3-2.And I guarantee I can find more cavs hate threads than warrior hate threads this series alone
Would you concede that there's been roughly the same amount of hate threads/posts created during this series for both LeBron and the Warriors, respectively?

Change is inevitable...
When they beat Chicago it was a given they'd make the finals.I didnt think they would get to the finals this year. Any of you nikkaz who thought they would be very much live in the Finals without Kyrie or Love, stand up now.

J.R. Smith is a former 6th man of the year.
Mozgov is a go to guy. Mozgov was killing GS.
LeBron needs to feed the post.
The thread poll had most picking the cavs
I do see the ref bias and injuries hate gs have received though. I think the hate on both ends is unwarranted though. And yes Bron has been praised more but also gets the most hate

Yes because they'res no difference between doing something in the regular season and doing it in the nba finals
Well at least we can finally come to some sort of an agreement then. That's been my point all along - there really isn't that much difference at all (during this series).The thread poll had most picking the cavs

LeBron was really bad for his standards.
But man Spo was just totally outclassed that series.
