Harden was busy partying in Miami during the series and Westbrook was busy sabotaging the series with terrible point guard play. '09 Lakers have the coaching, the triangle, and the better star players. Lakers would dominate the paint and the boards and they have the personnel to guard Lebron and Wade. They held '09 Lebron to 14/45 shooting in the two meetings.

Lebron played with Mo Williams during that time. He played with Wade and Bosh in 2012. Anyway lebron is 16-6 vs Kobe in their head to head match up.

The point is that the Lakers have a superior roster & coaching staff to OKC and thus have a much better chance. Kobe was guarding Lebron a lot in those '09 games btw and that Cavs roster was more well-rounded than the Miami one and had better shooters, 2009 team took ~5 more threes per game and made them at almost 4% higher percentage too.

Didn’t Kobe own Lebron head to head?

Wade was still very productive in 2012. He was a better 2nd scoring option than Pau Gasol. Bosh was injured in the first 2 rounds of the playoffs when he was healthy the heat beat okc who were destroying the competitions in the West. They beat 3 former champions the lakers, dallas and Spurs.

Lebron owned kobe head to head. Lebron is 16-6 vs Kobe. Put up more points, steals, assists, blocks, and higher fg percentages in their regular season match up.

Thunder didn't have a great defense & it's about match-ups.
