Who would win in a 7 game series: 2010 Lakers or 2016 Cavs?

[TrueBlue89]

A stacked frontcourt of prime Gasol, Bynum & Odom led by Kobe & Phil or the LeBron/Kyrie Cavs surrounded by shooters?

[HylianNightmare]

Kobe, still mad we never got to see lbj vs kobe

[Mr Feeny]

Kobrick would clank clank clank. Cavs in 4.

[feyki]

I'm not sure Lebron would play volleyball against that LA . No rim protection , no rebounding , like 2009 with much worse offensive force . Kyrie would be much better than Mo for sure .

LA in 6 .

[alanLA92]

Lebron would be forced to take jumpshots. He only had one great game from there which was game 5. Not to mention Love wold get exposed. Irving would have a field day with Fisher but that was expected with any good PG against the Lakers back then. Lol

Lakers in 6. Sucks that we never saw a Kobe vs Lebron finals especially in the late '10s.

[ArbitraryWater]

It would be foolish to assume LAL wins, seriously.. Cavs in 5

love would actually have a good series, maybe not defense wise but scoring

[FreezingTsmoove]

Did you see what Pau Gasol was doing against KG

Now imagine Love and Tristian Thompson on him :lol

[Ben Simmons]

Cavs would win

[Indian guy]

Watch how the same scum who relentlessly whined about collusion and LeBron's "historically stacked" cast pick LA here :oldlol:. Every single one of them will. I have never seen any of LeBron's 3 "historically stacked" championship teams get picked when pitted against a former team.

forced to take jump shots with Love pulling Gasol away from the rim? Nada

LeBron would feast with Love setting screens on Artest switching Pau on him

We all saw what Lebron does to Kobe H2H on much shittier teams

[NBAGOAT]

Leaning cavs. Love's not the worst as a post defender and he can do decently vs Gasol too on the offensive end. Thompson can keep the boards close which was a huge advantage the Lakers had on the rest of the league. I'm also really worried about Fisher on Kyrie but I guess they could put Kobe on him.

[tpols]

poor matchups for Cleveland.

Tristan cant guard Pau and wont be able to dominate glass like he's used to amongst a true Forest of 7 footers. Kevin Love no way in hell could guard Lamar Odom whose basically a longer Draymond Green.. Lakers have a defender that isnt going to get punked by Bran ala demarre carrol in Ron Artest, and they have the size / length down low to really bother kyrie and bron's forays in the paint. Sprinkle a little black mamba onto that and you get Lakers in 5/6.

[Lebron23]

Cavs in 6

[alanLA92]

I was referring to his defense. In terms of offense, Love was bricking all series long in the finals though. If he does the same here, no way Cavs win 4 games.

[Uncle Drew]

I'll take the team that beat a 73-win, record breaking squad.

Umm

2010 Artest gave up 27 and 38 pts to Lebron

Worse than anything Carroll gave up this playoffs

Lakers have the length on Clev for sure, CAVS have the speed and D

Love wouldn't even guard Odom, Tristan/Lebron would

Love guards Gasol

Size wouldn't bother Kyrie, Klay had damn near 6 inches on him

Wasn't even impressed with Bynum or Gasols performance facing Z and Varajao

[ArbitraryWater]

Bynum was always the no minutes playing bum on those teams... now hes a part of the big man tandem that will dominate the glass.. some things change quick.

[tpols]

Love guards Gasol

:biggums:

people might say I dont give pau enough credit but prime version would abuse 6'7 Love so badly it wouldnt even be funny.

and kyrie was constantly trying to get klay switched off him.. that's besides point. Point was the help defense.. Cavaliers face a lot of stubby, small teams starting small frontcourts.. paul millsap, patrick patterson, luis scola, al horford, even Draymond Green as good as he is and as much problems as he causes is only 6'7.. Lakers had few guys legit 7'0 + and that makes finishing around the rim particularly harder.

gasol got shut down by 6'6 chuck hayes

ik its 09 but he didnt get much better

chuck hayes low key mightve been the strongest guy in the NBA.. lower body anyways. skinny spot up kevin love is no comparison :lol

[G0ATbe]

Cavs are far more stacked but Godbe would find a way. There's a reason he's the one with the winning record in the finals.

[Bankaii]

Funny how Kobetards talk about how stacked the Cavs are but now they wouldn't be enough.:oldlol:

This is the same Lakers that struggled against a Boston team that Lebron was expected to beat with Mo Williams ffs
On the other hand the Lakers wouldn't even come close to beating the Warriors.
That Lakers team really wasn't that great, they don't have nearly enough scoring to keep up with the Cavs high powered offense.

Kyrie destroys Fisher then shuts him down on the other end.
Artest is too slow for Lebron. If it becomes a battle of physicality Lerbon would easily win. And the whole "Lebron can't score against rim protection" bs has been debunked multiple times, stop it.

If the Cavs can shut down Steph, Kobe would be a piece of cake.

[tpols]

If it becomes a battle of physicality Lerbon would easily win. .

maybe "Lerbon" would, whoever that may be, but Lebron with no jumpshot like he had in 2010 to keep the defense honest would be given the rondo treatment, but instead of seeing a crowd of petite 6'7 - 6'10 guys in the paint like he ussually does today, he'd see a couple long 7 footers and world peace putting some dents in on the side (hopefully he wouldnt get him suspended). They could even throw Kobe on bran a bit like they did rajon, and just go underneath / dare perpetually.

easy win. :pimp:

Are we talking about 2010 Lebron dumbass?:facepalm

Judging by the fact that your entire post is nothing but baseless insults of Lebron (just like 99% of your other posts) you're not worth giving a legit response to.

[ArbitraryWater]

The Lakers were the best in a league where the no inside presence having, no 3 point shooters besides Allen/Pierce having, outside top 10 defensive ranked teams being, Celtics, were the bext best contender..

Read the sentence and comprehend the context. This is a thread about 2016 cavs. I'm saying this years Lebron had no jumpshot like he had in 2010, so the Lakers could afford to sag off him more now (like every team does nowadays) then they could in 2010 .. rendering your comparison of what the 2010 cavs did or didnt do useless.

[Mr Feeny]

Lebron has a 16-6 career record against Kobe. He OWNS him. Cavs are not losing:oldlol:

using regular season records is such a bran thing to do. :lol you would think watchin the playoffs this year, or any year really would have put some sense into your head.. but, nope.

[Megabox!]

Playing 2nd option to Prime Shaq will have that kind of effect on your finals record

[Keno]

Kobe would go 6-24 every game and Lebron would be putting up 40 point triple doubles every game. the difference between the two is night and day, Lebron is much better in every aspect on the floor.

with that being said, Lebron in 5, one bench player would have a career night for lakers and bail Kobe out for the only win of the series. kobes career in nut shell.

[COnDEMnED]

Would the Cavs even get past the 2010 Celtics?

[WindmiLL]

Watch how the same scum who relentlessly whined about collusion and LeBron's "historically stacked" cast pick LA here :oldlol:. Every single one of them will. I have never seen any of LeBron's 3 "historically stacked" championship teams get picked when pitted against a former team.


This is so true :applause:

And on all those Lebron's championship ''historically stacked'' teams, Lebron played better than Kobe compared to Laker's championship teams yet those same people will still pick Lakers. So how much help did Kobe have if people pick Lakers so easily when Lebron comfortably outplays Kobe? :eek:

[ArbitraryWater]

Kobetards are the worst

Warriors are a much better team than the 2010 Celtics.

[SouBeachTalents]

Would the Cavs even get past the 2010 Celtics?

Probably not, they did beat the 73 win Warriors 3 times in a row, twice on their homecourt, but could they beat the 50 win Celtics? Not so sure bout that one

Lebron's jumper was working half of the series.
You can't just assume because his jumper didn't work against one defense it won't work against another.
His jumper has been streaky, meaning that one night he can miss wide open shots and another not miss a single one.

Point being is that the whole sag off Lebron defense has worked once, 2011, and that was more of just a choke because he didn't know how to adjust like he does now.

Also, the team isn't just Lebron. I know he's the only player you think of, which is why you separated the one thing I said about him out of my entire post, but he has teammates. His ability to pass the ball surely makes up for the games where he doesn't have a jumper.

[Dray n Klay]

The odds are completely stacked in the Lakers favour. But if history has taught me something, it's that the greater the favourite, the more likely Kobe is to pull off an epic choke.

And LeBron always outplayed Team Kobe in their head to head matchup. LBJ is the Kobe Stopper.

This. Kobe is afraid of lethick who owns him over the course of their careers :lol

[feyki]

Don't confuse on seperate the team and their form .

Warriors weren't clearly in their peak form . Curry and Klay were trash , Bogut and Iggy were injured , Barnes and Ezeli were like shit .

Of course , Cavs perimeter defence and Lebron's defensive effort were part of this . But remember Lebron against Howard,Garnett and Dirk . And now think about best frontcourt of that time .

[red1]

this one is tough to call. my gut tells me not to bet against the 2nd GOAT :pimp:
