Yet they broke the ducking record for made threes in the first three rounds

God damn they have Kyle korver and Channing frye as bench shooters how many more dumb ass excuses do you clowns have to use
So because they shot well the previous rounds, that means it's not a problem if they shoot badly in the finals? You know damn well frye is unplayable against the warriors. Whatever he gives in offense, he'd give back twice as much in defense. Same goes for korver. I don't want the cavaliers to win either, but let's not act like they're anywhere near as good as golden state.

Lebron with harden no defense and Russ no defense and ibaka and Perkins wouldn't get a game against kd wade and bosh with Shane battier guarding bron while kd got to rest on defense like bron usually gets to
Bron has had a better team around him then kd for the past seven years and now that kd has a better team and both men are playing each other it's unfair?
You said 2011. Battier wasn't on the 2010-11 team, and the 2012 finals also had 3 games decided in the final minute that all went to Miami, yet you're claiming that it'd be an easy sweep if you swapped them? You're not even putting any effort into this.

Whose fault is it they signed frye and brought in korver? Don't make me up that terrible thread where when they got korver cavs fans said hey we're gonna dominate now with Moreno shooting around bron

All this flip flopping from Lebron fans opinions on his team quality is comical. Bron ain't never went 12-1 in the east till this year and his team mates shot and made the most threes in the first three rounds in NBA history with 7 guys shooting nearly 40% from three but now after he and his superteam got done beating up the east they have to play a real superteam and now they aren't good at all to the bron and cavs fans

Just a bunch of excuses. I didn't hear Boston, wizards, raptors fans etc complain about how unfair it is to play Lebron. But Lebron fans are so afraid of how good golden state is they are act little bytches cause all the fake hot takes they told themselves for years dont mean shyt

Bron owns kd (Bron hasn't scored 40 on kd since 2009 and kd was outscoring bron two years ago with weaker team mates)
Curry is overrated and kyrie owns him (tables have turned once steph is healthy it seems)
Draymond is overrated (yet they say him averaging 9 points and 8 boards makes him another superstar)
Klay is streaky (which is true but his defense is incredible)
That Kevin love is a top five power forward
That golden state has no bench they gave it all up for Durant
Warriors have no rim protection

And now it's unfair for poor lebron

Why is it fair to make that mythical assumption if you put bron on any team they are better?

It's about fit at the end of the day. Bron had to make he heat fit around his style, kd has the skill set to fit in to nearly any system because he is what the league strives to find

3 and d two way players

Kd on a lot of different teams will work better then Lebron on a lot of teams because kd can not only play off ball to allow a guy like wade and bosh to get one on one plays due to kd elite ability to shoot and drive but to also give them a break when he can go and get a bucket by himself and also his great passing

Lebron is he best passer in the world but has to spread he entire floor to allow for half court passes to work thus he surrounds his self with elite shooters. Lebron can not play good off he ball offense which is why he has to have he ball all the time to be effective and why his team mates never develop

Love how you conveniently brush aside that that "one" is a 2x MVP and the first unanimous while Kyrie Irving's greatest accomplishment pre-LeBron James was winning lottery picks. As if who they're playing along side is any indication of their own individual talent levels. You swap KD and Bron right now you really think the results would be any different?

You LeBron haters kill me with your reasoning, legit flashing your sub-60 IQs all over this damn board. :mjlol:
:camby:

Y'all LeBron stans don't get to play this fukkin' game, after all those years of sticking out your chest when it came to his H2H record against Durant and using it in reference to show how LeBron was the better player; failing to realize that he's had the superior team for pretty much all of their matchups. I bet if anyone were to put forth this swap scenario during the 2012 Finals you would've laughed in their face.

Just straight up dishonest bullshyt.

but steph not guarding kyrie... kyrie guarding steph...

steph wants no part of guarding kyrie... they running a quick switch everytime kyrie forces the switch on curry.
Let's be honest. Besides Klay being a better defender, it's also a better scheme because the Cavs would just run the 3-1 pick and roll with Lebron to force a switch and a Curry guarding Lebron mismatch. With Curry guarding Shumpert or JR, when they try to get him in PnR, Curry only really has to worry about hedging Lebron then getting back to JR/Shumpert on the pop. And neither are shooting well at all.

If Lebron was good at this then Kyrie would really take the next step. KD and Steph work so well together cause of off the ball movement

What exactly does KD do to make curry better than he already is? We all saw how hoped he was the last two years. Nothing has really changed. Irving is what he is too. He's got a flashy handle and a great jumper and can finish at the rim with the best of them, but he's always been a mediocre defender and had cases of tunnel vision.

no LeBron dominance is more about how great he is.. KD couldn't beat him ,Curry couldn't beat him so what they do team up.. the eastern conference couldn't beat LeBron with the old cavs so what are u sayin
Wtf ?!! You can't be serious ? Bron lost with the old cavs hence going to Miami .
