People in 2011 Said OKC Would Have Won Multiple Titles By Now

[SilkkTheShocker]

[YouGotServed]

They need James Harden

[Lebron23]

What happened?


Spurs and the Heat happened.

[riseagainst]

OP being a f___ happened

[SOD 21]

What people are we talking about?

Also, are we pretending that significant injuries didn't happen in the last two years?

What happened?

What people? Do you have any proof?

inb4 one quote of some troll saying this

[rule1223]

westbrook injury in 2013, ibaka in 2014. Mods?

[ArbitraryWater]

What people? Do you have any proof?

inb4 one quote of some troll saying this

Were you alive back then? Did you look at media outlets outside of ISH? Already back in 2010 everyone could see how talented they were... Don't act like this shit is out of the blue :facepalm

[JohnMax]

Durant injury 2015?

[MP.Trey]

What happened?
Harden left. Seriously. Rag on the guy all you want but that's a major reason. And of course, the Heat happened, then the Spurs happened. Multitude of reasons.

[Jlamb47]

You said you would leave this forum....what happened?

[Doranku]

The Heat threepeated just like you said would happen.




























Oh wait.

Injuries did indeed happen. I guess that is what separates Lebron from players like Durant. When Bosh went down in 2012 Lebron stepped up his game and led his team to a Championship. Durant on the other hand made excuses when Ibaka got hurt.

Um sure, LeBron didn't have any monumental or embarrassing failures prior to 2012?

I have never seen in the history of the NBA a player choke worse than LeBron in the 2011 finals in the fourth quarter/OT of those game. He literally treated the basketball like a hot potato because he was so petrified of failure and of the moment that he wanted no part of the ball.

Injures and Lebron and spurs reason why.

I guess that is worse than going scoreless in crunch time scoring in the 2011 NBA finals.

Lebron came up short with a stacked team in their first year together. It happens.
Durant is currently 0/4 with stacked teams. At what point do we stop making excuses for him and start holding him accountable? :confusedshrug:

[MavsPoke]

People in Dallas thought the same thing about the Mavs 10 years ago.

Give them some time. There are good teams in the league and winning a championship is not guaranteed.

[SamuraiSWISH]

Scott Brooks, Westbrook decision making, Harden leaving, Durant's intimation of more physical playoff defenses. Basically all those reasons in a nut shell. Nothing else.

[Droid101]

OP said the Heat wouldn't lose a game this past playoffs.

Are you f*cking kidding me? Everybody who watched the 2011 finals knows that Lebron was exhausted because of his monster defense, shutting down the Mavs' best players :applause:

I thought the same thing. Why didn't Bron just spin away from the double, like anyone with a real post game would have?

[Real14]

Lebron in 2010 said Him and the Miami Heat would win not 6, not 7 titles.

Is that supposed to be a flop gif or something? Chandler clearly fouled Lebron down low. :wtf:

Like I said, Lebron said not 6, not 7, big difference. At least the knicks stayed in New York.

Last year was just a fluke, you act like Lebron never missed the playoffs. Knicks was established in the 40s and Lebron's NBA career was established in 2003, you can't compare the two. That's just stupid.

How does it make you feel to know that Melo will never be seen as a winner, just a money hungry ball hog who took the easy way out?
Could have gone to a contender like the Bulls, but then he would actually have expectations placed on him. We all know Melo wouldn't like that. He prefers to stay in New York where he can blame his failures on having crappy teammates. This is why Melo will never make my top 20, he has no heart.

[SpecialQue]

Before the Decision weren't people also saying that Lebron would win a ring with the Cavs?

You say he has no heart? I say you broke it with that sentence. He just heard the the news...
