What do you expect? He full on left a back to back 60 win team for not being good enough.

Are you saying one game deserves a termination CavsFTW?

And that back to back 60 win team sure made LeBron look foolish the 4 years he was gone

The team was essentially dismantled. Like the Bulls after Jordan left.

[Hey Yo]

I thought this was going to be about the current state of the Lakers.

They were "dismantled" because they went on a record losing streak to start the season :oldlol:

Yeah, but that team was custom designed to fit LeBron, not operate independently of him. Just like you don't expect a team that is only good for alley oops to be good if you take away a great alley oop passer.

[SouBeachTalents]

Not really, they still had multiple starters/big minute players carrying over from that team like Mo, Jamison, Parker, Hickson, Gibson & still had Varejao on the roster. You can't compare that to the Bulls who lost literally everyone of significance besides Kukoc & Harper

Mo
Anthony Parker
JJ Hickson
Jamison
Shaq......

was a custom design??

7 players from that 2010 squad was out of the league before the start of the 2012 season.

Vets and hustle players, yes. That was for LeBron.

last I checked....the definition of "custom designed" isn't ...."whoever we can get that's a decent player"

Shhhh...you'll only confuse these lebron haters.

top 10 in minutes played 2010 Cavs

Lebron - 76 games

MO - 68 games

Parker - 81 games

Andy V - 76 games

Hickson = 81 Games

Delonte = 60 games

Shaq = 53 games

Big Z = 64 games

Gibson = 64 games

Moon = 61 games

HC = Mike Brown


Top 10 minutes played 2011 Cavs

JJ Hickson

Ramon Sessions

Parker

Gibson

Jaminson

Hollins

Varejo

MO

Gee

Eyenga

HC = Byron scott.



So yea.. outside of Lebron they lost Shaq who was a starter, Big Z who got the second most mpg off the bench, Delonte who got the most mpg off the bench, Alonze Gee and Christian Eyenga took their minutes.. New head coach.

But yeah keep pretending that they only lost lebron when in reality they lost Lebron, Shaq, Big Z, Delonte and their head coach. And replaced Big Z & Delonte's minutes with Eyenga and Gee..

lost 4 of their best players from a 60 win team and the head coach.. shocking how they weren't good the next year :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

... yeah that's how custom designed teams are built in the NBA and always has been :hammerhead:
Starting 3 avg. to below avg. players in the postseason who's combined age is 104yrs old is not NOT custom designed. It's called going to the junkyard, see what's the best leftovers and go from there.

I never said they "only" lost LeBron, but to pretend an ancient Shaq & Big Z had equal impact on the Cavs going from 61 wins to 19 as LeBron did is disingenuous and laughable. They still brought back multiple players who played significant minutes, MUCH more so than the Bulls did in '99

[TheMarkMadsen]

How can you argue that those teams weren't customized to be built around Lebron? :oldlol:

shooters, defenders and hustle players who don't need the ball in their hands to create..

Riddle me this Lebron stans, if Lebron was the sole reason for those Cavs winning 60+ games b2b and if he could basically take any team to 60+ wins and his cavs supporting cast were "scrubs" then tell me why the HEAT took 3 ****ing years to hit 60 wins :roll:

2011 HEAT = 58 wins

2012 HEAT = 46-20 AKA not on pace to break 60+ wins in a 82 game season.

2014 HEAT = 54 wins


So what you're saying is that Lebron carried a bunch of scrubs to 60 wins in 09 and 10 but somehow could only carry Wade and Bosh to 60+ wins in 1 out of 4 seasons?

yeahhhhh ok...

you said that you can't compare it to the Bulls who lost everybody of significance other than Kukoc and Harper.. yet the Cavs lost everybody of significance besides Mo & Andy V :confusedshrug:

Nobody is saying that Shaq and Big Z had equal impact as Lebron when it comes to how many games they slipped from 10 to 11, but the Cavs lost their entire core of Lebron, Shaq, Big Z and Delonte and their head coach..

they lost two key starters, and two key 6th men plus their coach.. they lost their core.. it wasn't just Lebron who left.

No team can lose 2 starters (one of whom is their best player and they guy the team was built around) their coach, their sixth man and their best big off the bench and then turn around and be successful the next season at the same level as before

Why are lebrontards trying to deflect from the fact that the beta got his coach fired despite having the best record in the east?

Just another thing that lebron can add to his resume that makes him look like a whiny b1tch. He probably figured "the world already saw my 4 inch dicc, so who cares what they think of me for firing my coach!" :lol

yeahhhhh ok...
who said he was the SOLE reason for winning 60+? You really think the Cavs even make the playoffs in 09 and 10 w/o James?

In 09 Cavs wanted HCA considering Boston won 62 games and Orlando won 59. in 2010 it was the same scenario with Orlando once again winning 59gms and Cleveland winning 61gms. Thus, keeping the gas on the peddle till the end of the season.

2011, Miami wasn't able to get HCA but still won 58. Not a significant difference between 61 or 66 wins with Cleveland.

2012, Wade missed 17 games

2014, Wade missed 28 games.
