The 2001 Lakers would have beat this current GS team in 5 games max.
With an injured Curry, Bogut & Iggy...

Imagine the advantage LA will have with Shaq inside.
Kobe was the best player in the playoffs in 2001, he was an absolute assassin.

This is retarded, dumb ass Cleveland fans keep acting like this was the same healthy GS team that won 73 games. They were far from 100%.

Plus Klay played like shit. Literally Cleveland beat a GS team where their 3 best players played mediocre to bad...you honestly think they'd have a chance against Kobe & Shaq who went 15-1 in the playoffs?

If you look closely.. Tyronn Lue is on his tip toes.

Not only I got the 2001 Lakers, but also the 1992 & 1997 Bulls, the 1987 Lakers, the 1986 Celtics, the 2008 Boston Celtics, the 2003 & 2007 Spurs...

I got literally every champion since 2000 over GS.
Bottom line, the team wasn't at full health. The fact they actually had a 3-1 lead and lost in 7 games (in a very close game 7) despite the suspension, their UMVP playing well below his standards, Klay struggling and the role players just weren't stepping up.

This team just wasn't on the same level as they were in RS, just accept it.
James got very lucky.
