55 wins? 60 wins? 70 wins? 73 wins? :eek:
Re: King in the East: An impressive 8-year run
[QUOTE=elementally morale]How many 73 win teams were there in the history of the NBA? You know... it's kinda hard to beat a team you never play.[/QUOTE]
Kinda hard to beat a 73-win team
I agree.

Except they didn't beat a healthy 73-win team.
After going down 1 - 3
No Green for Game 5 (their best player in the series)
Bogut injured in Game 5 and out for the rest of the series
Iguodala injured in Game 6 and played hurt in Game 7
73-win team my ass, the 73-win team at full strength went up 3 - 1, only Adam Silver and injury gods could have made it possible.

Yeah
Finals are hard to get to. Durability is important
Were the Cavs "healthy" in 2015? (Irving, Love)
Were the Spurs in 2017? (Kawhi)
Were the Rockets in 2018? (CP3)

The injury gods have almost always been on Lebron's side. Whenever his team falls down in a series, the gods find a way to benefit his team, whether it's the 2013 or the 2016 Finals. How convenient for Lebron in 2017 that IT has a hip injury after an MVP-like season and loses his sister right at the start of the Playoffs. How convenient for Lebron that Derrick Rose goes from an MVP to a role player when it seemed like they would be fighting for titles for the next decade.

fair he's been lucky. I dont think you should bring up Gasol in 2015 for missing a few games and playing injured when Love didnt even play the series however. Also what about Bosh in 2012? Legitimately the main reason the Heat didnt dominate eastern conference teams like "they should have with their talent" that year.

You're a fool
Bosh in 2013?
Wade in 2014?
Kyrie and Love in 2015?
Love in 2018?
What a fool...LeBron has always battled with injured players on his team
