LeBron Regrets He Didn't Meet Kobe In The NBA Finals And Disagrees With Durant

[Bilz]

It would've been bad for lebron because the lakers would've thrashed those cavs teams

the lakers have never had much luck against LeBron.

Yeah, but the Lakers were also considered a favorite to go to the Finals in 2012 with that Dwight Howard/Steve Nash team that imploded.

"Lakers are going 73-9. fukk the haters"

 

[malbaker86]

I'm still dumbfounded how they didn't beat Orlando in the ECF that year

 

[Bilz]

"media has done a good job building Kobe up to the stature that he is'

this fukking idiot man.

no kobe did that not the fukking media.

if you think the media has been more positive than negative to Kobe then you're a fukking idiot

The media LOVES Kobe. Stans just hate the media because they never place him ahead of MJ.

yeah 2013. kobe blew his achilies but they would've lost to the spurs with or without kobe

its okay LeGM...the lakers are 2-14 right now....they are going to go on a 66 game win streak with the play of d'angela russell and lead the lakers to the finals. You can meet D'angela there instead and make up for lost time.

The Magic were the precursor to a lot of the teams you see now playing a SF at PF for spacing purposes, the Cavs weren't prepared to play that kind of team, their big men outside of Varejao & Hickson were all old and slow. Zydrunas couldn't guard Dwight one on one, and Varejao couldn't get out on Lewis, and when he did Shard would put the ball on the floor. A better coach would have played Varejao at the 5, and Bron at the 4 but Mike Brown stuck with conventional lineups with 2 bigs on the floor even though 1 of them was always going to be in a mismatch.


They struggled with with the Magic all year and Mike Brown didn't give Hickson a single minute in the playoffs even though they could have used his athleticism in that matchup.

Orlando shot maybe 50% from deep and Dwight was getting 26/15 a game. James had 3 different 40 point games, the first being a 20-30 from the field with 49 points, 6 boards, 8 dimes, 2 steals, and 3 blocks, had a 37-12-14 triple double in another game, and hit a buzzer beater in another game. How can a supporting cast and coaching staff perform so bad that you lose in spite of that performance?

The Cavs forwards could not guard Lewis or Hedo. Whichever one Lebron guarded the other forward would go off. Basically whoever Antwan Jamison guarded they ate his ass up.

the lakers have never had much luck against LeBron.

the lakers were better at every other position except SF. PG is arguble plus the lakers had the better coach.

it would've been boston and cleveland all over again. The kobe stans would never allow lebron to say anything again without bringing up kobe beating him in the finals
