2/5 vs. West in 7 game series :scust:


Bron was an underdog in 3 of his NBA finals series......and a favorite in 2. In my view he won about as many of them as he should have with the exception of the Mavs series. That's the only one I hold against him. Other than that it seems he always had the inferior roster. Just looking at the Vegas odds (the bookmakers tend to be smarter than most people in terms of determining the odds of winning)

Against San Antonio in 2007....The Spurs were -500/Cavs were +4. Spurs were believed to have an 83 percent chance of winning. He basically had no shot of winning that series.
Against The Mavs in 2011, the Heat were a -180 favorite/Dallas +160. Heat had a 64 percent chance at winning this series. This is a series they should have won but Bron choked it away.
Against Oklahoma City in 2012, The Thunder are also -165 series favorites at offshore book PinnacleSports.com, with the underdog Heat paying +149. The Thunder were believed to have a 62 percent chance at winning that series.
Against San Anotnio in 2013......the Heat were -220 over the Spurs/Spurs +190. They had a 68 percent chance at winning this series.
Against San Anotnio in 2014......The Spurs were -125 favorites over the Heat +105......Spurs had a 55 percent chance at winning this series. (This was a clear underlay as the Spurs were MUCH MUCH better than the Heat last year).


Bron was NEVER in a situation like MJ/Kobe where he always had the better teams, he just didn't.......Like look at the Lakers/Sixers where you have a team playing the Sixers who were 11.5 point underdogs in game 1 and 18-1 to win the series.

I'm not a Bron fan by any means but asterisks :dahell: If he pulls this off it'll be the defining moment of his career. Cavs made smart moves and gave him what he needed to get to his 5th straight Finals. If Cleveland gets the title it'll be historic for him and the city, but it's still :pacspit: lol I'll give him his props but that's where it stops.

If the Warriors beat the Rockets tomorrow it'll take them one more game to get out the West than it took the Cavs to get out the East. :what:

They both swept the first round series. Were both down 2-1 in the 2nd round and then won 3 straight to win in 6 and they were both up 3-0 in the Conference Finals.

If we gonna do this.... then we must speak on the GARBAGE east teams Kobe played against in the Finals..


Lets be real, this Cavs team, the last 3 Heat teams, the Big 3 Celtics team, the pre injury Rose Bulls teams would've destroyed all the teams the Kobe beat in his 5 championship games :lolbron:


And lets not even talk about if them Kobe opponent final teams played in the Jordan era

This thread was made by a spurs stan but you still got Kobe name in your mouth. You fukkin disgust me. :stopitslime:

As for this thread, it's based on true stories. While LeBron's run of Finals appearances is impressive, all the gangsta teams reside out West. I highly doubt we'd be seeing LeBron in this many Finals if he played out West short of him having stellar talent around him. Kobe and Duncan only having 5 rings is a product of their conference environment.
