:mjlol: @ those false narratives. Nobody had the Hawks beating the Cavs in 2015. Nobody had the Raptors beating them in 2016. Nobody had the Celtics beating them last year. They were the overwhelming favorites in every one of those series. Lebron fans trying to re-write recent history as if we all just forgot or something is honestly hilarious.

Yes they did. I'll dig up some of the articles/hot takes later on. People thought even the pacers were going to beat the cavs in the 1st round last year:russ:

Go ahead. I'll find you the OVERWHELMING majority who had the Cavs winning every one of those series. They were never even close to underdogs, or even in a series that people thought could go either way in the East since like the Chicago series in 2015

Dudes can't be serious saying niccas thought the Hawks or Raptors were beating the Cavs. Most brehs were on here clowning anyone thinking those series would even be competitive.

Yeah, I'm as much of a proponent of the critics' hypocrisy regarding the Cavs path as anybody, but NOBODY outside of LeBron's biggest haters was picking the Hawks in that series :russ: The Cavs were looking good even without Love while the Hawks had been trending downward for a couple of months anyway and struggled against the Nets and Wizards.

And I think Nick Wright reaches like crazy and is forcing this "LeBron is the greatest" conversation. As great as LeBron is, he just doesn't have the same resume as MJ and the East HAS been demonstrably worse from top to bottom for 20 years now. Only in the last 3 seasons has it really improved.

And not a chance in HELL did nikkas pick Toronto in 2016 or 2017 :mjlol:. And while we didn't think Boston would get steamrolled in the pathetic way they did last year, most still had the Cavs. The Cavs blatantly mailed in the regular season and then annihilated Indiana and Toronto. We knew.
