LeCantCarry needs teamwork advantage/higher team assists to win playoff series, and

good scoring help to beat top teams (never won series against top 5 SRS team with weak scoring & efficiency from sidekick, aka never carried weak help over top teams)

He beat the 2015 Hawks who had a top 5 SRS with 60 wins without Kevin Love and with Kyrie missing half the series while averaging 13 PPG.

Carry on.

JR Smith averaged 18 on 66 TS, so no

Btw, since Kyrie played 12 of 14 games in the 15' East Playoffs, the only time that Lebron took a 1-star team to the Finals was when everyone was doing it, aka Iverson, Dwight, Kidd twice.. Otherwise, he needed to put the top 3 players in the conference on 1 team to win the conference in 2011 after catastrophic losses from 08-10'

Only a matter of time before Jr Smith > Pippen in your eyes.

JR Smith shot 47% from three in that series, which was the great spacing that LeDrive has always needed to win - since Pippens can't do that, we know that he would've lost Lebron this series

Secondly, it's easy to forget that the 08' Cavs only won 45 games until LeDrive got the all-star spacing he needed in 2009 - Mo's spacing exploded Lebron's stats and the Cavs won 66.... But once again, we know that Pippen told Rachel Nichols that he can't be a 3-point shooter and that's why he failed in Houston - Pip literally told Rachel this on TV, so Lebron could never win 66 with a bricklayer like Pippen.

It's interesting because one could argue that JR Smith was a comparable athlete to Pippen, albiet shorter, but a far superior shooter and scorer outside of the system.. However, JR never played with non-ball-dominamt teammates that grow young players and elevate guys to new levels like MJ, Kobe, Duncan or Curry did for their sidekicks

LeBron iso game crab dribble and stiff arm to the hoop

LeBron swept a top 5 SRS team without Kyrie and Love

MJ needed the full series to beat the Cavs in '89.

LeBron just makes it look easier.

You’re saying Lebron needs high assist teams to win in the playoffs?

Prime Bron played with Prime Wade and Bosh and got outscored by Jason Terry in the NBA Finals in the “GOAT Choke”

(Jason Terry played 67 less minutes than LeBron as well.)

[SIZE=3]Veteram JR Smith provided solid scoring & efficiency, while 2nd-year Pippen provided weak scoring & efficiency:[/SIZE]


[indent][B]2015 Smith. vs #4 SRS Hawks[/B]....... [SIZE=3]18.0 on 66 TS[/SIZE]
[B]1989 Pippen vs #1 SRS Cavs[/B]'......... [SIZE=3]15.0 on 48 TS[/SIZE][/indent]



So Lebron never beat a top 5 SRS team with weak scoring & efficiency from a sidekick, while MJ did many times.

And it shows how stacked the Cavs were that their 4th or 5th option (Smith) was better than the Bulls' 2nd option (2nd-Year Pippen).

Lebron's team needs to out-assist the opponent to win a playoff series.

So since team assists are correlated with teamwork, it can be said that Lebron needs superior teamwork to win - [I]aka he can't carry a team with inferior teamwork/team assists, or weak scoring help*..[/I]

(* never won a series vs top 5 SRS team with weak scoring & efficiency from a sidekick)
