Those late 2000s Cavs were weird. They had two 60+ win seasons. I want to contribute all of that to Bron, but within 82 games, I can’t say all of that is on Bron.(his fans claim it’s a team game anyway for a 7 game finals series when he loses:mjlol:)

They love acting like the 2nd seeded cavs were some fukking 8th seed team lol

Cavs players stepped up. Bron only averaged 25 this series on 44%. Only shot 3-10 in game 6.

notice how Jordan’s 6 rings are team accomplishments but when Lebron plays mediocre its “he dragged them to the finals”

:russ:

2007 Cavs run was weird.
top 5 defense in the league. #1 playoff defense

2 playoff series vs .500 teams

Pistons had no Ben Wallace

Lebron my guy, but Im not gonna dismiss his bad performances and then shyt on legends

shot 25% on jumpers in the Finals despite open space. If i'm not mistaken, I believe he only made 9 jumpers in 4 games. Those games were CLOSE too

Graphic is trash all those guys had more help in fact they all played on elite offenses. And TP was Nash and D-Will main assignment.

Larry Hughes played 2 hobbled games with plantar fascitis and sat out the rest of the series. LeBron had no help. Cavs had defense their offense was below average. This series was ugly as hell, defense oriented, and slower paced than those other series. It was a grind neither team shot well. And those other guys who performed better still lost in 5 and Suns got robbed with suspensions.

LeBron could have played better. His lack of a consistent jumper was exploited. Overall, it’s not held against him because he was young and lacked help.

the ether
GAME 3
BRON HAD 32 ON 57%
BIG Z HAD 16 ON 50%FG
SASHA HAD 13 ON 63%FG
GOODEN HAD 12 ON 46%FG
BOOBIE HAD 9 ON 50%FG
HUGES HAD 4 ON 100%FG

THATS A VERY EFFICIENT OFFENSIVE TEAM EFFORT.

GAME 4
BOOBIE HAD 21 PTS ON 57%FG IN
GOODEN HAD 19 PTS ON 57%FG
BRON HAD 25 PTS ON 42%FG

GAME 6
BOOBIE HAD 31 ON 78%FG
WHILE BRON HAD 20 PTS ON 27%FG


:dead:BRON ONLY CARRIED THE TEAM FOR ONE GAME
BY HIMSELF IN THE WHOLE SERIES
YET YOU REVISIONISTS PRETEND
HE DIDNT HAVE OFFENSIVE HELP.
:devil:
:evil:


The main name you keep repeating is Boobie like he wasn't a borderline G-league player making wide open shots due to the defense collapsing on Bron. He was basically out of the league by 25 after a career averaging 7ppg on 40% shooting.

And that was LeBron's best "help" that series. :laff:

Sasha was fukking trash too, like had a TRASH career. Without Bron his best season was 4.8ppg on 39% shooting and he was out of the league by 29 though basically didn't play after 27.

Larry Hughes who averaged 7ppg on 34% shooting that series playing injured and the Cavs looked better literally every time he didn't play. :snoop:

Drew Gooden was at 9ppg on 44% shooting that series as a power foward. :childplease:

THOSE were the names you listed. He had to spoonfeed those fools buckets (except for Hughes, who could consistently create a 30% accurate contested jumpshot for himself). The only player who was decent on offense was Z, and Gooden has a passably league average jumper with the occasional second-chance points. If they had won that team would have the ugliest supporting cast to win a title by a LONG shot.


You were calling Bogans trash in the Chicago thread the other day and now you in here hyping guys like Boobie and Sasha who were way, WAY worse players with much worse careers than Bogans. :francis:

Boobie had a jumper I respect him and he had a special playoff run.

He was really good in that ECF.

BRON ONLY CARRIED THAT TEAM
TO ONE WIN BY HIMSELF IN THAT SERIES.

THIS IS ABOUT THAT SERIES
NOT ABOUT CAREERS.

ALL THAT EXTRA BULLshyt YOU POSTED
IS IRRELEVANT.

I guess it would have been better if Bron lost in the first round like Jordan.
