3ball, why can LeBron win with Irving, but KD can't?

[ArbitraryWater]

The Nets were beating the Bucks even without Harden, he needed just one of those guys healthy.

Ben Simmons is a star player. As flawed as he might be, the Nets could have really used his defense/rebounding/playmaking & transition offense in this series.

KD's team right now (minus Simmons) is not better than the 2016 Cavs. He has a bunch of guards and the corpses of Drummond/Griffin/LMA. Bran had much better defensive players around him and a better coach.

they actually weren't.

they were down in game 4 before kyrie's injury, it was on pace for a 2-2 series. And that was with knowing Harden might come back which is mucb more mentally freeing.


I know Simmons is a star player. He just has nothing to do with this.


You're conflating the issue.

Worst excuse ever. Dude is healthy. Just can't figure out Boston's defense.

Lebron had a 3rd perennial all-star teammate in 2016 and the current Kyrie/Durant are way past their prime and washed up by years of injuries

The numbers show this pretty clearly - Love was a 26/13 player and a luxury to have as 3rd or 4th option, while the current Kyrie/Durant have played like old, washed up bums

The numbers show this pretty clearly

Love in the 2016 Finals: 9 & 7 on 47%TS



And he missed the entirety of Game 3 as well.

false.

Love missed 2 games in the 2016 finals.


Besides, Love was a role player and several current Nets are outproducing him.


Durant and Irving are objectively better players now than they were in 2016.


I see you found your excuse nieche though.


Are we gonna stick with these?

[Bronbron23]

Any other LeBron hater might as well feel adressed also.

Is this a for real question? For one bron is better than kd. He was especially better in 16 compared to kd now coming off an Achilles injury.

Second, the cavs were a much better team than this nets team dude.

[John_Connor]

this isn't kyrie from 2016. that guy could drop almost 30 a game in the finals. this kyrie is lucky to do that once a season at this point

[Spurs m8]

This forum legit breeds stupidity lmao

There's no way Jeff isn't starting this shit for clicks lmfao

[RRR3]

Did snivelly really just say Kyrie and KD aren't in their primes? The same guy who thinks 37 year old 19th season LeBron is in his?

[SouBeachTalents]

Kyrie's averaged 27 ppg in Brooklyn, more than he ever did in Cleveland.

Is Kyrie demolishing Tatum like he did MVP Curry?

So Kyrie/Durant are clearly washed up.

And the 16' Cavs were so stacked that a 26/13 player like Love played a spot-up role

So again, these Nets didn't have a 3rd perennial all-star like Love, while Kyrie/Durant are washed up

Wtf are you talking about ?

Kyrie dropped 60 like nothing this year. All his stats are up since he left Cleveland.

[1987_Lakers]

this isn't kyrie from 2016.

Dude averaged 27 points in the games he played this year and just turned 30.

Durant was averaging 31/7/7 in March and April.

lol jr smith was the cavs third best offensive player in the 16 finals.

[NBAGOAT]

Wonder what some idiots will say when the nets and kd/Kyrie start off well next year
