When Lebron had a super team, their record was great. The losses have only come since everyone and their mama started getting hurt and/or Lebron missing games.
And Lebron/Kawhi missed the same # of games, just Cavs are 0-5 when Lebron misses while Spurs manage to be 4-1 without Kawhi. Cavs are 42-14 without Lebron and Spurs are 44-12 without Kawhi, and that includes a long stretch where Cavs have had pivotal guys sick/injured.
That seems close enough to "similar to the Spurs" record for me.
damn you such a dumbass.
Westbrook getting 8.6 uncontested rebounds a game and having his bigs actively block out guys on free throws in order to get him an easy board - Lebron never done anything remotely like that.
Westbrook has 16 games hitting 10-11 rebounds compared to only ONE where he ended stuck on 9. And since the first month of the season, 12 games with 10-11 assists compared to only 2 stuck on 9. Lebron's ended more games stuck on 8-9 rebounds or assists than any other player in history.
There ain't even a comparison here, you're just stuck on your "got to say one bit of stupid shyt every thread" quota.
Thunder were projected to make the playoffs with exactly this lineup. Who the hell going to keep them out of the playoffs, the fukking Mavs?
And there literally isn't a single guy getting on the floor for Miami who played with Lebron there.
You're basing this off of exactly which year when Lebron had a poor regular season?
Lebron doing everything for the Cavs playing more minutes than anyone else in the NBA, averaging a 26-8-9 on sick shooting numbers while holding down their defense, and you're criticizing him for "not always playing the regular season at his peak."
Meanwhile, Westbrook and Harden in there literally not giving a shyt whatsoever on defense, half of every fukking game, and they "playing hard", right?
You think Spolstra is a great coach.
Lebron should have single-handedly pulled the Heat through in 2014 when everyone on the Spurs was shooting 60% while broke ass Wade/Bosh averaged 14ppg each.
Say a team starting Joel Anthony, Ronnie Turiaf, Dexter Pittman, Mario Chalmers, and the corpses of Mike Bibby, Rashard Lewis, and Ray Allen in playoff games should have been a four-in-four dynasty.
And I left off ready-to-retire Shane Battier and Udonis Haslem as the "good" starters.
Cavs are 0-5 without Lebron this year, 4-19 in the last three years.
And who would even care if they were better than OKC and the Rockets without Lebron, because they are FAR better with him. Bulls without Jordan were a hell of a lot better than Jazz without Malone or the Rockets without Hakeem or the Sonics without Payton...that mean Jordan shouldn't have been getting MVPs?
He wasn't even a top-3 MVP candidate last year, and he ain't doing anything different this year other than using more possessions on offense, not trying on defense, and getting his teammates to give him all the uncontested rebounds.
And the Thunder were projected to finish with 45 wins before the season started, when we knew exactly who Westbrook was already.
Can you tell me ONE way in which Westbrook has improved his game from last year?
