Bulls sucked for a long time after Jordan retired. Meanwhile Cavs are still good after LeFraud ran away for a second time.

The bot is back and looks like it’s settings have flipped back to anti-Lebron mode.

They also made the playoffs with the trio of kirk hinrich, ben gordon and luol deng. The notorious casuals are unaware of this fact, i'm afraid.

:oldlol: He is SO fcking weird. Literally does nothing but be divisive and has probably defended/hated every player he's ever posted about. Always given me strong Adam Lanza vibes.

Just because the bulls made the playoffs plenty of times since Jordan left doesn’t mean they didn’t suck. Aside from 2011, they have always been either a lottery team or first round fodder, never a contender or even a ‘pretender.’

Stop it. You're defeating your own argument. The KD Warriors never won 73 games. Were they better or worse than the 73-win Warriors?

No point in arguing with Louie. He comes from the 3rd world Facebook NBA meme mill, he has no original thoughts or opinions. Games don’t even broadcast where he lives, that’s why you never see him in a game thread despite having 100,000 posts.

Last time we made the playoffs without LBJ, Shawn Kemp was on our team... let that sink in :oldlol:

The 73-win Warriors are massively overrated. Who cares how many regular season games they won when they didn't win the championship?
The KD Warriors were flat out better.

What do you expect from someone who dresses up like a merman though? :confusedshrug:
Jordan never beat anything close to a 70-win team.
Not surprising a very autistic mongoloid, an insecure jizzrag who always rates his very own threads 5* and tries so hard aim for the 'last word', is truly incapable of debunking a fact like this. ;)

98 Cavs had a decent team with pretty good exciting young players. Too bad nobody lived up to their potential except for Ilgauskas who himself could have developed into a much better player.

Strongly begging hard for the forum gods to strike him again for the second time. Uncanny. :hammerhead:

Cavs didn't make the playoffs until 2007 with Lebron.

Wow 1998 was the year that Shawn Kemp led Zydrunas to the playoffs, while Lebron was lottery with the all-star version of Zydrunas in 2004 and 2005.
Then Kemp averaged 26/10 vs Indiana compared to 16 on 39% for Pippen, whose horrific performance nearly caused a massive upset loss for the Bulls.

He only won 1 title with the franchise that drafted him and that after he left in 11 years.

To be fair, everyone knows that Kyrie won the chip for the Cavs
Lebron was a beta
Crazy, no one will ever accomplish what lebron did.
Cavs were a 33-49 team, then he came and 1 season later got them a ring.
Lakers were 26-52, then 35-47, then he came and 1 season later got them a ring too.
Lebron takes on the worst teams in history and carries them to gold, never seen before. Insane what the dude is capable of.
Other guys like KD have to join 70+ winning teams and now a 60+ winning team to even try.

What about in 2011 when he stacked the deck but got outscored in the Finals by a bench player?

Nice try Kid
Lakers was 35-47 with Lebron, once AD came he got Lebron a ring
Cavs was a lottery team, drafted Lebron and still continue to miss the playoff for the next 2 years
Ledeadweight
Lebron had to join Wade Miami, Kyrie Love Cavs, and AD lakers to get his rings. :lol
