Didn’t Lebron go against MVP Rose and he went against Prime Dwight? Man it wouldn’t have mattered. Denaro Derozan is a top player in the league. Ppl used to argue that he was better SG than harden not too long ago.
Jordan had to go thru prime Seikaly and prime Daugherty in 92.

:wow:

They never talk about how hard it was to blow by a shorter John Starks all those years.

:mjgrin:

Look man, at the end of the day you gotta beat who is in front of you. That’s it. People just bring up a new hoop to jump through every time one of their narratives fails.

I wonder what team Lebron should join in the West.

Probably the only team that wouldn’t get called a super team with him on it is Phoenix. Maybe Memphis.

Mufukkas always on that bullshyt.
Houston would be ideal honestly the super team shyt doesn’t matter at this point, especially with a mega force like the warriors.

And if lebron wants to end this perception that he has glided in the east, he has to go west and win it all. That’s the only way that perception goes away but he probably doesn’t care about that.

Ideally any team he goes to, in an effort to compete with the warriors, would have other stars. Houston would be my first bet again. Best friend CP3 there with Harden, would/could can act as Wade/Kyrie for him while, like CP3, having the playmaking ability to take some of the pressure off him. D’antoni would make the process complete.

If the East is so weak, why come Bron & his team ain't the #1 seed every single year? Just asking for a friend :lupe:

HE DOESNT CARE ABOUT THE REGULAR SEASON ANYMORE.
HE JUST PLAYS FOR HIS STATS.

ALL THESE OTHER TEAMS PLAY THEIR HEARTS OUT TO GET THE ONE SEED.

BRON USED TO DO THAT IN HIS 1ST CLE RUN
AND NEVER GOT TO THE FINALS
WHEN THEY HAD BACK2BACK 1 SEEDS.

There’s not a fukking chance in hell these hating ass bytches wouldn’t claim Super Team every other second if this dude went to Houston.

And you know it

But why should he care about that perception at this point though?

We in a super team era and quite frankly that shyt(needing wade and Bosh to win) will always follow him. If I’m in his shoes I’m going the best place to win. Rings is all that matters now.

Going to a “super team” now makes more sense than when Miami formed in 2010. As much as he was scrutinized then, that Miami team is nowhere near this Warriors team. Miami for that time period caught people off guard cause we never seen the “best player” in his prime form a squad with other prime star players. Super teams not built by drafts usually formed when players were older/in their 30s and had already spent 10 years in the league atleast in the past 30 years or so. Now it would be more acceptable for lebron to form a big 3/superteam or whatever you want to call it

Brooklyn keeps on taking it.
That’s funny cause the past few years the east had a similar or overall better top 8 than the west while the Warriors flew past the west in the playoffs.

I recall Steph Curry not even being needed for some of their series like the one vs The blazers.

So where the outcry for the lack of competition for them?

Stephen A is an idiot!

But if the East was so weak, why would any of what you said matter?

If he's just playing for stats, why are the 2011 Bulls, 2013-2014 Pacers or 2015 Hawks, or 2018 Raptors or any of these other #1 seeds and higher ranked East teams unable to beat Bron's team? Because Bron can still get his stats and lose right?

I just don't understand how these teams can be better than Bron's teams for 82 games yet can't seem to beat him in 7. Is it possible that maybe these teams aren't as weak as you like to say and that Bron is just that good? :lupe:

THE CELTICS ARE ABOUT TO MAKE THE ECF
WITHOUT THEIR 2 BEST PLAYERS
BUT LETS MAKE THIS ABOUT BRON

WEAKEST EAST SINCE 2007.
:devil:
:evil:

:jbhmm:LETS DISCUSS FACTS THOUGH...
2007- 1ST ROUND EXIT
2008- MISSED PLAYOFFS
2009- 1ST ROUND EXIT
2010- 1ST ROUND EXIT
2011/2014- BRON 4 STRAIGHT FINALS
2015- MISSED PLAYOFFS


ALL OF THIS IN THE WEAK EAST...
:patrice:WADE LOOKING FUNNY IN THE LIGHT
WITHOUT A TOP 10 ALL TIME GREAT LIKE SHAQ & BRON
:devil:
:evil:

:mjlol: I ALREADY POSTED THE 07 AND 08 NUMBERS,
BECAUSE I KNEW YOU WOULD SAY THAT ABOUT LAST SEASON.
38% ASSISTED 17 ON 45% FG 35% 3P
34% ASSISTED 17 ON 49% FG 39% 3P
THOSE ARE ELITE RIGHT?


HIS NUMBERS WERE DOWN LAST YEAR BECAUSE HIS TEAM SUCKED
NOT BECAUSE HE HAD TO CREATE MORE...

LETS BE SERIOUS
THOSE PLAYOFF NUMBERS ARE A DIRECT RESULT OF BRON BALL.

DO WE EVEN HAVE TO COMPARE THOSE CLE ROSTERS TO THIS ONE?
BRON HAD NO POST GAME
AND THEY WERE FULL OF SCRAPPY ROLE PLAYERS...


KYRIES STYLE OF PLAY COULDNT SNIFF THE PLAYOFFS IN THE WEAK EAST
BEFORE BRON...
THEN THEY WENT 1-9 WHEN BRON TOOK HIS MIAMI VACATION LAST YEAR.

WE'RE NOT ABOUT TO MAKE DUKE SOME ELITE MUST NEEDED PLAYER
JUST BECAUSE BRON THERE NOW....

SWEPT THE HAWKS WITHOUT HIM AND LOVE
WENT UP 2-1 IN FINALS WITHOUT THEM...
(IF MO WAS ON THAT TEAM THEY WIN THE CHIP.)
THEY HAVE 1 LOSS RIGHT NOW...
THESE ARE FACTS.
:devil:
:evil:


:what: WHEN DID I SAY BRON WAS DOMINATING THE LEAGUE?

HES SUB .500 IN THE FINALS...

:mjlol:STEPH BECAME THE 1ST UNANIMOUS MVP
IN NBA HISTORY UNDER BRONS WATCH.

BRON HAS DOMINATED A WEAK EAST.

:sas1:WHATS THOSE 97 EAST STANDINGS LOOKING LIKE THOUGH?
:devil:
:evil:



NAH THEYRE PRAYING FOR A KD/CURRY INJURY.

NOT MAKING THE FINALS IN THE WEAK EAST
WITH THAT LOADED TEAM
WOULD BE INEXCUSABLE.
:devil:
:evil:


:rudy:CP3 WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY WON WITH WADE AND BOSH
AND THE SAME GOES FOR ANY OTHER STAR.


IMPACTFUL BRON LOST
TO D12s MAGIC
AND THE OLD ASS CELTICS
IN CONSECUTIVE YEARS AS THE 1 SEED
IN THE WEAK EAST.

LETS NOT PRETEND HE CAN WIN TITLES
WITHOUT SUPER TEAMS.

CP3 HAS NEVER PLAYED WITH A SUPER TEAM.
:devil:
:evil:


I CAN GUARANTEE YOU
CLEVELAND WOULDNT SWEEP
PORTLAND OR UTAH.


:devil:
:evil:



DOESNT REALLY MATTER.

THE WEAK EAST IS JUST GONNA GIVE BRON
AN UNREACHABLE NUMBER OF FINALS LOSES.
:devil:
:evil:



NO ONE IS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE NUMBER OF TEAMS WHO WON THE TITLE.

PPL ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT
BRON PLAYING ON A SUPERTEAM IN THE WEAK EAST
AND GOING TO 7 STRAIGHT FINALS
JUST TO HAVE SOME OF THE MOST EMBARASSING LOSES
IN NBA HISTORY.

BUT YOU KNEW THIS
BEFORE YOU MADE THIS THREAD.
:devil:
:evil:


:mjlol:THE CAVS ARE GOING 12-1 IN THE LATE 2000S.

THE 2014 SPURS WENT TO 7 GAMES WITH THE 8TH SEEDED MAVS
AND STILL RAN BRON OUT THE GYM
IN RECORD SETTING FASHION.

YOU CANT MAKE STUPID COMPARISONS LIKE THAT.

2017 CAVS WOULDNT EVEN MAKE THE WCF.
nikkaS BARELY WON 50 GAMES
AND YOU TRYING TO PRETEND
THEYRE SOME ALL TIME GREAT TEAM.

NO THEY JUST PLAY IN THE WEAK EAST.
:devil:
:evil:


1. THE EAST WAS WEAK AS EVER

2. YAO MING DIDNT HAVE ANY INJURIES IN THE 05 & 07 PLAYOFFS...
STILL DIDNT GET OUT THE 1ST ROUND.

3. YAO GOT OUT THE 1ST ROUND IN 09
WITH TMAC ON THE BENCH IN A SUIT.
:devil:
:evil:


KYRIE PLAYED IN THE WEAK EAST
SO HE GOT IN BY DEFAULT.

JUST LIKE THE HAWKS
HAVING 4 ALL STARS
IN THE WEAK EAST THAT YEAR.


THE WEST IS LOADED WITH GUARDS.
BOOKER WILL NEVER MAKE IT AS LONG AS THE SUNS SUCK.

CP3 DIDNT MAKE IT
AND YOU IN HERE TALKING ABOUT DEVIN fukkING BOOKER.
:devil:
:evil:


:gucci:BECAUSE THE EAST PLAYS THE MAJORITY OF ITS GAMES AGAINST THE EAST.


:devil:
:evil:


IT WOULD CONTINUE SOLIDIFY HOW WEAK THE EAST IS.

:devil:
:evil:


1. ROSE WAS IN HIS 3RD SEASON
BRON WAS IN HIS 4TH.

2. BRON WASNT IN HIS PRIME IN 2007.
THE EAST WAS JUST WEAK AS HELL.

THATS WHY HE NEVER SNIFFED ANOTHER FINALS
UNTIL HE JOINED MIA 4 SEASONS LATER.
:devil:
:evil:




A) Be an obsessed dikkriding Jordan stan using “Weak East” as a bashing point when you’re GOAT played in the weakest east OAT Due to expansion and being in a transitionin era when older stars were washed and on their way out, and newer guys hadn’t been drafted yetc and had a top 5 player to help him along the way and couldn’t win in a “weak east” without him.

B) Call it a weak east when In the last 15 years, 6 “weak” Eastern teams have won the ship and 8 “almighty” West teams have won. For such a big skill gap between the two conferences, in a series where the two best teams from each conference wins, the gap is not that big. Especially considering that 07’ Cavs team probably isn’t there without Bron showing out.

C) Say it’s a weak East when one of the premiere players can’t sniff the playoffs without adding the greatest player of all time to his team

D) say It’s a weak conference as if the West isn’t and hasn’t been 2 team race every year since 2010 as well.

E) dikkride, brehs.
