Why are LeBron and co. being given a pass if they don't win a ring this year?

[Kidbasketball20]

The TOP PF in the league.. at worst top 3
A top tier franchise PG
And the best player in the league.


With a TON of depth.. muchmoreso than the Heat had last year.


IMO this is LeBron's most talented team since his 1st year in Miami... so why is he given a pass if they don't win it all this year?

This team is stacked and playing in the worst conference talent wise in over 20 years. :wtf:

[iTare]

chemistry.

[Cocaine80s]

lol shut the **** up you LOF

[navy]

New Head Coach (Has never coached an NBA game)
New players only one of which has been to the postseason

It wont be a surprise if they dont win their first year.

If they never win barring injures than it will be noteworthy.

SMH always finding a scapegoat when your intelligence can't find a counter arguement. :roll: Jeremy Lin has nothing to do with this topic dumb ****.

Why are you looking up articles about a player you dislike so often? You're obsessed with hating on Jeremy Lin. It's pathetic. :facepalm

you made like 5 threads about Lebron today :facepalm

[knicksman]

because lebrons ability got exposed already. Hes not the type of guy who can win you rings.

[JT123]

Because the Spurs, Thunder, Clippers, and Heat all have more talent, much better coaching, and have been playing together for years.
Lebron is playing with a bunch of young cats who don't know how to win.

[dubeta]

Havent made playoffs in 4 years


First GETTING to the playoffs should be the goal of this team

Thats all that matters

[Kidbasketball20]

Because 2 = 5 you dummy




Can't count either.

Umm The Knicks almost made the playoffs last year in the East


The East has never been easier to make the playoffs in.

And the Spurs, Thunder, and Clippers are in the West....



And you're telling me it wouldn't be legacy killing if LeBron lost to the Heat (the team he just ditched) with old man Wade and Bosh in the ECF??? :wtf:

Don't bother arguing with dubeta. He said the current lakers are more stacked than the current cavs.

How would it be legacy killing? The Heat have created a super team since Lebron left. :wtf: They replaced Lebron with not one, but TWO All Stars! :eek:

Did Miami get a pass when they didn't win it in the first year? Hell no. LeBron managed to perform the greatest choke of all time by a player of his caliber.
If they dont win it in the first year it will be a big fail from Lebron. They got all the pieces and a regular season to find the chemistry needed.

And whats up with all the insecure Lebron fans trying to overhype the Miami Heat? Wade is done , Bosh is a shell of his former self too. They arent getting anywhere without them. Are you scared of losing to them also? If that happens your "king" will be mocked for all his remaining career and not one single argument can defend him.

why couldnt anyone on the cavs make the playoffs before?

[NumberSix]

Probably because the coach has never coached an NBA game and half the cast has never played a playoff game.

OP's question reveals LeBron's greatness. If Durant was on this Cavs team instead of LeBron, nobody would even think about them winning.

Is that your argument? Ok. Why couldn't Bosh lead the Raptors to more than 2 first round exits in 7 years? Why couldn't Wade lead the heat pass the first round in his best years individually? Easy because this is a team game. And as good as Kevin Love or Kyrie Irving were/are they didn't have the right pieces around them to succed. Now you are mixing two all stars (Love has a case for being the best PF in the league) with the best player on the planet and you want to give them a pass for failing ? HELL NO!

Spoelstra was a nobody before the Big 3. David Blatt is at least on the same level as Spo was the first year Heat formed.

team is too offense reliant, not enough defense

You cant just put all stars together look at the 2012 Lakers

[knickswoman]

because everyone is already expecting a 2*/6

1 more and hes tied with wilt:oldlol:

We don't take the opinions of women very seriously around here. :lol

A pass by whom ?

[dubeta]

Cavs should first aim at getting to the playoffs before we say anything else

[Warfan]

Oh look. Someone is being "given a pass" again. Most likely they have "no excuses" as well

Deng is in the same category as LeBron? :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Except they'd become the instant favorites. Durant would let Kyrie do his thing and still average 32/7/5.

Something Bron doesn't condone , if he's not in complete control and front running, then no deal. 2011.

[TheMarkMadsen]

they shouldn't be given a pass, they have 3 all stars, the top 2 most productive players in the league according to Lebron stans most treasured stat PER..

if Lebron isn't expected to win with this team than his must think he doesn't have the impact they always claim
