[Full Court]

Please. Blazers were 8th seed, and the Rockets were mediocre. The only good team they played the entire post season was the Nuggets.

The gauntlet ring. No homecourt and having to live in a concentration camp in Florida for 2 months. 4 of the toughest teams on the way to the ring.

I don't know why the Man above gives me the hardest road... -LeBron James

[Manny98]

The worst defense in the NBA Trail Blazers

The Choke brothers Harden and Westbrick

Denver were decent

And the Heat who had no business making the finals in the first place were missing Dragic plus Bam was hurt, probably the worst team to ever make the finals

[Spurs m8]

First of all, that just isn't true, what so ever.

Secondly, it was a mickey mouse scrimmage, doesn't count.

Thirdly, no one cares

[Axe]

Was ad the true mvp of that title run? Makes me wonder.

[kawhileonard2]

Didn't play a #1 nor #2 seed in either conference nor any players who were proven champions.

[Lebron23]

Didn't play a #1 nor #2 seed in either conference nor any players who were proven champions.

Lakers were the no.1 seed

[Akeem34TheDream]

Is this thread sarcastic?

[ImKobe]

Is this thread sarcastic?

I really hope it is. It's one of the weakest runs ever when you look at the injuries on opposing teams.

[TheGoatest]

Was ad the true mvp of that title run? Makes me wonder.

He wasn't even the MVP of a single series. He might've been the MVP in the Nuggets series after the first three games, but then he started grabbing 1 rebounds per half while LeGOATest closed out the series on monster clutch defense in game 4 and monster clutch offense in game 5.

[Spurs m8]

Is this thread sarcastic?

Nope.

But it's ISH

So that explains everything

[Full Court]

Is this thread sarcastic?

No. It's obvious from his other threads that OP really is this dumb.

[Johnny32]

agreed. remember the narrative before each series. por was the greatest 8th seed ever. many predicted they'd beat lal. hou was the greatest small ball team ever. many predicted they'd run lal off the court. and den was a team of destiny coming back from 3-1 deficits multiple times. it's funny watching the desperate haters try to change the narrative after the lakers destroyed the competition.

This. Sheesh

And that's one of the series where Lebron had the most help possible because his teammate demolished the league MVP (Jokic), just like Bosh destroyed 11' Rose or Kyrie demolished 16' Curry or Wade outplayed fmvp Dirk in the 11' Finals

Only Lebron has this caliber of help (all his teammates outplaying MVP's or FMVP's

[bladefd]

I really hope it is. It's one of the weakest runs ever when you look at the injuries on opposing teams.

So what does that make the bucks/suns run last year? Lol
