Who actually thought Kyrie would get out of the 2nd round w/o LeBron?

[TheCorporation]

Everyone come clean and please admit it.

Who really thought Kyrie could get past the 2nd round without LeBron?

In 5 years without LeBron Kyrie has won 1 playoff series

:lol

*and that was against a Pacers team missing their best player (Oladipo)

[eliteballer]

At least Kyrie made the playoffs:lol

[Gus Hemmingway]

At least Kyrie made the playoffs:lol

Kyrie needed PEDs

[RealSkipBayless]

Why did his 2nd option average 12 ppg in the 2nd round?

I thought LeBron made the Finals in 2018 when Kyrie left? No?

Are you telling me LeBron won more playoff series in one year without Kyrie than Kyrie did in 5 years without LeBron?

Careful now :eek:

Thick East? Tell that to Kawhi his first year in :eek:

Thick East? Tell that to Kawhi his first year in :o

All he had to do was join a 59 win team and push LeBron out of the conference, while facing a severely injured Finals team

The stars aligned :lol

Come forward and admit it so you can be punished.

You will be forced to walk the plank

I actually thought the Celtics was gonna win versus the Bucks. The Celtics have playoff experience and so does Kyrie. But the Bucks, new in the playoffs, actually almost swept them, 4-1.

Whew, Kyrie you are making me nervous. Please join Bron so you can win championships again. It would be a wise move.

MJ elevated a 2nd round guy to 6/6

Lebron elevates a 2nd round guy to 1/3 and record defeats

night and day.. that's why lebron is nowhere near MJ and the media is all wrong, as usual

Bron stans, hate to admit it, but it is facts. Props to you 3ball, the most knowledgeable poster on this wonderful forum we call home.

Kyrie missed 5/6 games in the 2015 Finals

[3ball]

Kyrie missed 5/6 games in the 2015 Finals
Fair enough

1-1 including record defeat and perennial underdog status

Obviously, that still doesn't compare to 6/6 and perennial juggernaut status (greater status than the kd-warriors, but without nearly as much help)

And it also doesn't compare because MJ never required Scottie to win it for him like lebron required of kyrie in 16'

LeBrons 12 rebounds and 10 assists vs Jordans 4 rebounds and 2 assists

[red1]

not gonna lie as a die-hard lifelong kyrie fan I really thought he was right about his delusions of being a first option.


I'm just sad for celtics fans who made the conference finals without him last year, and then got backdoor swept by the bucks in the 2nd round when he came back.


they really should dump that loser.

[3ball]

LeBrons 12 rebounds and 10 assists vs Jordans 4 rebounds and 2 assists


Jordan's 34 points in a 82 pace series vs. lebron's 34 in 100 pace series

Jordan's clutch winners in the Finals vs. Lebron's no winners in the Finals

Jordan's goat D at his position (holding everyone he guarded to 35-43% FG), vs. Lebron letting 4 guys win FMVP

Jordan's getting stats with great teamwork and ball movement vs. Lebron hogging the assists while the team gets massively out-assisted by better ball movement

Jordan's timely scoring vs. Lebron's blind accumulation, stat-pad approach

:confusedshrug: .. I can go on and on... Lebron can only dream of playing winning basketball like MJ - he doesn't have the scoring ability, clutch, defense, teamwork or leadership.. you stan a loser

3ball right.

Lebron is a gifted athlete. But Michael Jeffrey Jordan is otherworldly. He was a competitor. Driven to win at all costs. He's clutch in late game situations.

Lebron has shown some clutch shooting dont get me wrong. But his game is ugly. MJ's game is a masterpiece. Watch this video Lebron stans. I encourage you to watch it.

Arent you 14?

You just know YouTube dunk highlights.

Now go to bed.

[paksat]

who thought the celtics would implode would be a better question

you failed to acknowledge the poster that pointed out that his 2nd option averaged 12 ppg

so we can end the thread there :lol

[superduper]

Who actually thought Pippen would get out of the 2nd round without Jordan?
