Is the 2016 Cavs the best team LeBron ever had?

[Micku]

They are putting up a fight against the defending champion and the record holder for best regular season wins. Going to seven games now. While the Warriors could be overrated and their weakness are showing or they are fighting through injuries, we still have to applaud the effort that the Cavs are putting up. Not going out without a fight.

So, is this the best team LBJ ever had?

Personally, I think it's the 2013 Heat team when healthy.

Who cares he's THICK AS **** :banana:

[Ben Simmons]

Best team Lebron has ever had, but he's still required to put up 40/10/8 and will called a loser if he doesnt.

Lebron James

[NBAGOAT]

Agreed it's still 2013 Heat when healthy. The Cavs role players are better but Wade and Bosh were great defensively unlike Kyrie and Love. Also helps that Lebron was better in 2013 too.

The 2011 or 2013 Heat IMO. The 2011 Heat after the 9-8 start were on a 62 win pace and this includes 2 5 game losing streaks along with them struggling to close games the whole regular season. They only lost 3 games heading into the Finals beating the 41 win Sixers, 56 win Celtics, 62 win(best in the league) Bulls, who were all the 10th, 2nd, and best defense in the league. If Bron doesn't choke in the Finals they had a great chance of sweeping the Mavs, they were that good. Also, he had Prime Wade & Bosh.

The 2013 Heat were much deeper than the 2011 Heat and Wade & Bron were at their best in terms of chemistry. They had the 27 game win streak, 66 wins but injuries ruined their playoff run.

Problem with the 2011 Heat was they had PG rotation of Carlos Arroyo and Mike Bibby :lol And their what was their big rotation? Haslem and Joel mostly? Talk about a top heavy team.

Haslem was solid that year tho. He always had solid D and was good on the rebounds. He was probably the best rebounder on the team. He averaged 8.2 rebounds in like 26 mpg. He was a pretty solid defender against Dirk in the finals until Dirk went god mode in the clutch.

Joel kind'a sucked except when it came to blocks on the weak side. They had Big Z, didn't they? But he was old and slow.

Everything else sucked. No bench. They didn't need it. Top heavy. Just surround them with shooters.

They were very top heavy but the big 3 was so dominant it didn't matter that much.

2016 Cavs stacked as ****.

No excuses for Bron Bron.

85-87 Bulls were stacked as f*ck also


Whats the excuse for 1-9? :confusedshrug:

[moongaze]

This cavs team has broken records this postseason. Most three point makes in a game, most three point makes in a series in only 4 games, highest margin of victory in a conference finals, first pair of teammates to score 40+ in a game. Kyrie set a record with his performance in game 5. Cavs had the highest offensive rating in 30 years through their first 10 games. If they come back and beat the the team with the best regular season record after being down 3-1, theyd be setting more records too. Yes, if they beat golden state on Sunday this has to be the best team he's been on and should be considered a top 10 team all time though I know most won't give it to them due to nostalgia

Meh. Is that an argument? I mean, the 2011-2014 Heat faced against better competition in the east. The Bulls 11 and the Celts 11 were better than the Raps. Indiana 12, 13, and 14 were probably better than the Raps. All of them were better defensively too.

Everything else I think has some weight.
