Lebron deserves a lot of blame for the 2007 finals.

The 08 Celtics also took 7 games to beat the below .500 Hawks. They played with their food.

The Hawks series is very different. Boston outscored Atlanta by a whopping 84 points and every Celtic win was a blowout.

I'm gonna quote Kblaze here and say who the hell cares if you win by 30 or 3, either way it's the same result. The fact is they had trouble with a shitty Hawks team as well, no matter how mad it makes you. You don't get extra points for being competitive in losses, or are you going to give LeBron credit for being "competitive" against the Nuggets last year?

BIG difference between losing by 3 or losing by 30.

And the Lakers were very competitive against the Nuggs last year - despite LeShrivel being a net negative. AD, Reaves, and Hachimura made for some close games.

But Boston didn't have trouble with Atlanta. I just told you they won every game by a blowout.

It matters when you win by 30 vs. winning by 3 when you're talking about how dominant a team is.

Yep Lebron had a terrible Finals...

Bruce Bowen locked him down.

Bruce Bowen locked him down.

Broke him just like Devin Booker and Jamal Murray did.
