Re: How many free passes to the finals are Lebron's teams going to get?
[QUOTE=Heavincent]Post trade Cleveland? Absolutely not.[/QUOTE]
Why? Cause they can win regular season games? Have you seen Kyrie, Love, play a playoff game?
Don't fall for the hype so soon.
Re: How many free passes to the finals are Lebron's teams going to get?
considering that he played with a hobbled wade for last 2 years at least.....i call it even.
this is part of the nba. ibaka was injured in 2 games last year against the spurs.
westbrook was injured in 2013.
according to your logic, spurs have been even luckier because their 2 finals appearances but that is just not how it works because spurs lost to grizzlies when manu was injured. it is a part of the game. miami fans can easily say that if wade was even 2012 level healthy, they would have been a different team last season.

I'm not...I'd take most western playoff teams over them. But they play in the East. Trust me, the Bulls weren't that big of a threat.

To answer question he's had free passes his whole career.. the east has been considerably weaker than the west every year since 2004 except one year. And it's factual in the numbers. And it just got weaker when it was looking decent.
Re: How many free passes to the finals are Lebron's teams going to get?
Damn Rose is injured again? :biggums:
I was just watching Cleveland vs. Detroit on DVR and avoided ISH/NBA.com to not see spoilers for the game.
Honestly thought this thread was a bump from 2012 or something. Tore his meniscus again?

just goes to show how weak that miami team was other than lebron since 2013 given that they couldn't get to .500 as soon as he left and they play in this same conference you are calling shit.
this also proves that magic was way inferior to bird.
west was weak during most of magic's peak and at least east played elite defense in last 10 years which couldn't be said about 80s west.
Why do you hate magic when you are a lakers fan?

Heat didn't face one 50 win team in 2013.. the east won 39% of games vs the west in 2014 and the best team Indy imploded right before the playoffs. It was all time bad.Heat could've had Brandon Jennings as the second option and they still would be been at an advantage lol..
magic had a winning record in the finals.. and was a ruthless competitor and alpha.. lmao at comparing him to LeBron James.
Re: How many free passes to the finals are Lebron's teams going to get?
I still laugh at how many of you guys talk about finals record, as if it's actually a good argument. Say LeBron missed the finals every year besides 12, and 13, and was 2-0 in the finals... Does that really make his resume look better than making the finals 4 times in a row and missing 2? You really think losing early in the playoffs makes someone's resume better just because they didn't lose in the finals? Such a horseshit argument that people on ISH cling onto so hard.
And people acting like the Heat wouldn't win their rings in 2012 or 2013 if they were in the West... the Heat beat the "elite" WCF champ OKC in 5 games, where they were taken to 7 games against Boston in 2012. And let's not forget that the Heat had a 25-5 record against the West in 2013. The Spurs only lost 3 games in the West playoffs, and the Heat were able to beat them in 7... so I'm not seeing the logic behind saying those teams who couldn't beat the Spurs would beat the Heat.
And of course all of this isn't accounting for the fact that Riley would build the team differently if they were in the West since each conference plays a different style of ball.

The point is the guy I quoted was talking how magic had cakewalk to the finals just like lebron has.
And I pointed out that while that may be true magic won in the finals more often than not proving that despite the easy roads he was still able to lead his team to victory against tough finals opponents from the stronger conference most of the time. Lebron was not.
And it wouldn't have mattered if the Heat were built differently.. what kind of bull shit is that? You would've had slightly different role players lol.. you still would've been stomped out early in a bunch of years and been worn down over the course of multiple hard series instead of having free rounds every year.
