East: 8 Straight Finals+ High Expectations. West: Regular Dude

[34-24 Footwork]

Has this narrative been put to bed?

Why am I not hearing about Lebron being in the finals this year?

What do you think changed?

His teammates play UPTEMPO basketball and play hard defense and rim protectors (McGee

He has teammates that close out games (Kuzma, Lance)

They were able to beat the Warriors without him so they're a good group/team.

Seems like he and Lance are the only two guys that aren't used to Western Conference basketball. Lance is adapting.

Do we need to grant Lebron a "mercy season" to allow him to get adjusted to the brutal competition out West?

[bullettooth]

It took collusion to get him to the finals in the east anyway.

Dude's a manufactured scrub.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

To be fair, LA was in the 4th slot before "LeGroin" happened.

They still make the playoffs imo.

Yeah they're not beating the Warriors but really who is?

The 4th spot didn't mean anything back then....just like it means nothing now.

[34-24 Footwork]

Just to make sure I have this right.

In the ec, it was all about finals. That was his standard (not even winning, lol)

But now the standard is just making the playoffs....

Damn. Wonder what changed.

[Prometheus]

Not looking to stick up for the diva... but what's the point here? 4th seed doesn't mean much but how does that make anything different than before?

if dubs were out of the picture, a lot of people would actually expect bron to take la to the finals

the expectations havent dropped yet. they will after this year tho

Well the problem is that the 4th seed in December in the Western Conference doesn't mean jack shit. Pretending like it does, especially when you've had an easy schedule up to that point, is disingenuous at best.

Not to mention other players went down as well.

Injuries happen in the Western Conference.

Denver is tied with GS and they've been riddled with injuries...same with Houston.

[34-24 Footwork]

It meant they were in the playoffs.

Don't even know what you're saying, but if you're implying that GSW wins either way? I would agree.

Lol. if the playoffs started in December, then yes, Lebron and the Lakers would be in the playoffs.

Strange concept. But I understand.

[34-24 Footwork]

Lol @ pretending that Lakers are just "done".

They're 5 games behind that illustrious 4-seed.

What's the problem?

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Lol. if the playoffs started in December, then yes, Lebron and the Lakers would be in the playoffs.

Strange concept. But I understand.

If you think they'll make the postseason, which most of us do, are they beating the Warriors?

A simple yes or no works.

[34-24 Footwork]

It meant they were in the playoffs.

Don't even know what you're saying, but if you're implying that GSW wins either way? I would agree.

Lol. Why is Golden State the 1st priority? Let's just say that the Lakers stayed the 4th seed all season, which is what the stans want me to stipulate.

They would play either the Spurs, Houston, or OKC in the 1st round.

Remember that the Clippers were the 1st seed for a while too. Lol.

Kuniva...come on man. You can do better bro.

[34-24 Footwork]

If you think they'll make the postseason, which most of us do, are they beating the Warriors?

A simple yes or no works.

They aren't beating:

Rockets
Jazz
OKC
Spurs
Nuggets or Warriors.

A simple no has been applied to all the teams above.

He's had success against teams in the West obviously....

I'm just wondering why the standard is "making the playoffs" a year after the standard was "another finals appearance" (subsequent win or loss is irrelevant).

You're gassing up all the Laker "help" in your OP, yet have them losing to most playoff teams :oldlol:

I actually have LA beating everyone save for the Dubs. But again...whose beating them?

Hilarious how all of LeBron's retard fans called the East a bloodbath.

Denver- that's a decent choice.

Rockets- same team that had them down by like 17 points in game 7 last year.

OKC....

teams that have all gave them trouble in the past.

But I get the game...

Warriors are invincible because a Lebron-led team has no chance.

I'll fall back

[34-24 Footwork]

Well, I'm not gassing them up, I'm just not calling them bums like media and the stans (and presumably you).

They're a young squad that need to gel and develop chemistry, but they have proven that they can compete on any given night with the league's best.

They're the same team and the Warriors aren't. Don't know if you heard, but GSW went out and acquired somebody named Demarcus Cousins. Word around the league is he's a REALLY good basketball player.

All of that is irrelevant though. According to you, LA is getting beat by everyone in the playoff hunt. :confusedshrug:

It was necessary to lower the bar for LeBron because the media got used to all the michael jordan revenue that vanished once her retired. To get around this they made LeBron the next MJ, even if he failed (and he failed plenty). But you could say it's not so much that the bar was set low for him... the bar never mattered. I mean look at it this way; he got swept his first year. That loss got swept under the rug. 2011 took him out of the running for GOAT comparisons but that's somehow ignored by his fans now. 2014, 2015, 2017 all losses and lots of talk from the media of how it happened, never really questioning LeBron. 2018 loss with another sweep and none of the blame goes for LeBron. If he wins, it's all his doing. It's ridiculous because the common denominator has always been LeBron but it's conveniently ignored in losses. You can't have that as a talking point in the news. But then again... how and why did the media decide that LeBron had to constantly be propped up? Why do they constantly look for ways to get LeBron sent to the finals.... why him? Why not Giannis or Westbrook or anyone else? Why specifically LeBron? And now he's supposed to get AD? WHY?

LeBron is the biggest con job basketball fans have ever witnessed.

"he got swept his first year" ... dude has played like 300 pro games before that series

and the 1 on 1 language on top of it "HE got swept"


this is what fks me up about ISH

i dont like lebron. i think he's corny and overrated. but the people who bash him use such stupid talking points that i end up sticking up for him anyway

[StrongLurk]

Dang was Lebron a regular dude winning 3FMVPS/3 rings against the best Western Conference teams while having JV-level teammates?

:eek:

[Lakessss]

Lebron with the Lakers - 4th seed, 2/3 games away from 1'st seed.
Lakers without Lebron - Out of the playoffs.

Lebron returns and beats the Clippers, a team the Lakers haven't beat since 2016.

'' Lebron is not adapting well to the bloodbath West ''
Makes sense. :facepalm

[zeerghit]

bran actually exposing "stacked west" narrative. One guy is enough to go for 4 seed, its pathetic. they are all pretenders agains dubs all of them

If you wanna judge him by the regular season or playoff series against the bobcats, hawks, or nets, no one will stop you. If that's gonna be his barometer, then that's fine.

But once you bring up the eastern conference finals and etc, that's where I have a problem.

[zeerghit]

did they loose lebron too?

[34-24 Footwork]

Lol.

Went from "lebron can drag anyone to the finals".

to...

"4th seed in December! We're winning."


What a fall from grace. Holy shit.

Expectations low af this season, boys :lol

[34-24 Footwork]

The addition of McGee is HUGE. After all, he is 2-0 against Lebron in the finals.

Rondo made him fake an elbow injury in 2008. Lol.

These guys know how to win, for sure.

What's the problem?

Only 5 games, you think Utah, San Antonio and Houston are going to fall behind them? Lakers will be lucky to finish 6th and go up against either OKC/UTA/DEN/POR, those are the only teams that we would realistically be capable of beating this season. We're not getting HCA in the first round, forget about it.

If Lebron makes as much of an impact as you guys have claimed, he could single-handedly move the needle as he did in the east.

Spurs and Utah aren't what they used to be...

[34-24 Footwork]

The biggest tragedy of all this is that we could've had Paul George with this young roster along with someone else. Now the entire roster will be gutted for another career loser...who will subsequently be blamed and shipped out after the Lakers get bounced in the playoffs multiple times.

[ImKobe]

Spurs play a similar style to us in a sense that they don't really have great 3-point shooters, but they are actually dominating inside the arc while also shooting very efficiently from 3(they only take "good" threes). Only thing that could save us is our defense and some all-time great play from James.

We're basically the worst shooting team in the NBA. Lebron NEEDS shooters.

[stalkerforlife]

He actually has a better team around him this year than he did last and it means nothing in the West.

Quite telling.

[34-24 Footwork]

Look. All jokes aside....

There's nothing wrong with losing in the 1st round in the Western playoffs after making 8 straight NBA finals in the Eastern Conference.

Nothing wrong with that. As a lebron stan, you can hang your hat on that kind of valiant effort.

The West isn't for everybody. No shame in that.

If Lebron doesn't get injured I'd debate the Lakers would be a top three seeded team today

And if top 3 seeded team doesn't mean anything in the '' stacked west '' your whole point of argument is stupid and contradictory.

Lebron's cavs were 4th seed last year in the East. He was 4th seed in the BLOODBATH west. This level of delusional is honestly alarming.

To be fair, LA was in the 4th slot before "LeGroin" happened.

Are you saying that resting up is an advantage? For example, let's say someone took 2 years off to rest up from 1993 to 1995. Is that an advantage? It is? Ahhh.

First of all I give no Fs about the GOAT debate.

But part of winning a title is making it through the grind of the regular season. The Lakers didn't have to do that in the bubble year. When they had to make it through a full season they couldn't handle it

But LeBron's fanboys like to put asterisks on other players rings while counting the bubble ring. Can't have it both ways.

Did all players have to stop because of a global pandemic or just the Lakers?

Did the Lakers fight hard all season for the #1 seed and then literally lose home court advantage for the entire playoffs? A major disadvantage for them.

Is LeBron literally the most clutchest player in NBA history so he had NO advantage playing under pressureless conditions when the fans and pressure went away whereas other players reached a new level? Thus another disadvantage for the Lakers.

They were missing 3 starters. Even with all those guys out GS still had a record of 39-33 last year and it took a fluke shot from Lebron to beat them.

Why was the Lakers record of 33-49 so much worse than GS last year?

Maybe the Lakers should petition the league to have a 3 month break every year so they won't finish 33-49 again.

Klay isn't a scrub and he missed the entire season. Wiseman was the only guy on their roster with legit size and he was averaging 19/10 per 36 minutes. Oubre didn't really fit there but he was still a viable rotation player.

They were forced into a 8 man rotation in the play in game. Steph had to play 41 minutes and would then play 47 minutes in the next play in game vs Memphis.

Green played 41 minutes against the Lakers and scored only 2 pts. :facepalm

I know the Wizards very well actually. They just aren't really worth discussing.

They were mismanaged for so long it will take awhile to get out of that hole. If i want to talk Wizards i typically go to their realgm board. Havent posted there in awhile though lol.

Injuries happen every year. 3 month breaks in the middle of the season don't. Without 3 month breaks the last two seasons how did the Lakers do?

-First round exit
-33-49 :oldlol:

What the **** are you babbling about? :oldlol:

Without injuries, the Lakers were the #4 seed in '19.

Without injuries, the Lakers were the best team in the league in '21.

Literally every single player had the same "advantage" that LeBron had. If anything, the '20 season was the most even playing field EVER. Lets not forget that the Lakers would've had home court through out the PO's if it wasn't for the bubble. They were the best team in the league in '20.

Lakers were unlucky almost every single season. The only healthy season they had, they won the title.

So youre saying the 3 month break didn't help the the injury prone AD and the high mileage old Lebron at all?

IIRC, AD missed 9 games that season and half of those games were for "rest". LeBron missed four games that season.

Right before the "break", LeBron was doing this to everyone:

FYI, since you're a low IQ tard, that was MVP Giannis.

Dude got absolutely bodied by LeBron in that game.

As I said, LITERALLY every single person had the same advantage. You think the "break" didn't help PEAK Giannis or PEAK Kawhi or PEAK whoever else, compared to "old" LeBron?

Go back to being a troll. You're way out of your depth here.

Its basically a yes or no question.

Yes or No.

[8Ball]

No.

It helped Giannis who had a knee sprain right before the break.

Lakers were fine and healthy.

Pandemic robbed Bron of his starting pointguard and home court advantage was taken away. Lakers would have done even better with normal conditions. Insane what Bron had to endure due to pandemic.

Was going to overtake Giannis in MVP race too.

I am still upset with what happened in 2020. Although a championship was a small consolation prize for the Bran family.

What happened to "the best team in the league" the following season when they didn't have a 3 month break?
