All of these other reasons are just tertiary, LeBron was the reason Bulls lost/Cavs won. He's probably the only player in the league right now where the other team could be better at every other individual position but you'd still favor his team just based off of him.
Playoff Lebron owns the Bulls.
The teams, the fans, the players, etc....they all know it. Every Bull fan in here knew that when Lebron released that shot that it was going in.
Even when all the momentum will seem like it's on the Bulls side, reality bends and something happens to where Lebron comes out ahead of them.
Bulls is prepping for the post-Lebron era of the East.
Reasons why Chicago lost this series - LeBron is well down the list (who had his worst series since Boston 2010). Momentum swung back in the Cavs favor ahead of Game 4, when the Bulls didn't have any frontcourt scoring after Gasol went down injured in Game 3.
Game 4: Noah 8 points, Gibson 6 points
Game 5: Noah 10 points, Gibson 10 points
Game 6: Noah 4 points, Gibson 2 points
You add in Rose's inconsistent play, failure to build offensive momentum in all the remaining games, lack of bench production, shytty team defense and passive play from everybody not named Butler - most of which you can attribute to the dwindling rapport between Thibs and the team.
