LeBron vs the Celtics in 2008 playoffs
I see Kobe get blasted for his play against the Celtics, but how about LeBron?
12/9/9 with 10 turnovers on 2-18 shooting and team loses by 4
21/5/6 with 7 turnovers on 6-24 shooting and team loses by 14
21/5/8 with 2 turnovers on 5-16 shooting and team wins by 24
21/6/13 with 5 turnovers on 7-20 shooting and team wins by 11
35/3/5 with 4 turnovers on 12-25 shooting and team loses by 6
32/12/6 with 8 turnovers on 9-23 shooting and team wins by 5
45/5/6 with 2 turnovers on 14-29 shooting, but allows past prime Paul Pierce to drop 41/5/5 on 13-23 shooting and LeBron's team loses by 5
Shoots 36% from the field, 23% from 3, averages over 5 to/g, and his team loses in 7 despite winning +11 in overall points scored

Really?
They played overall almost the exact same given the clear difference in help;
Lebron put up 27/6/8 on 48%TS in that series against the Celtics
Kobe put up 26/5/5 on 50.5% TS in his series against the Celtics
Lebron averaged a little over 5 turnovers per game.
Kobe averaged 4 turnovers per game.
Also, Lebron doesn't get near enough credit for his defense in 08 on that team...he improved and already elite defense in the playoffs while on the floor.(2.5 points better per 100 possessions)
Kobe's team actually got slightly better defensively when he was on the bench (2.1 points better per 100 possessions)

Kobe played better D and outside of Pau, Lebrons teammates stepped up alot more
Lebron wasnt even top in 08
KG, CP3, Kobe, Dirk and Timmy were all better

Who's alt are you?
Im critical of LeBron for this series but he was 23 and the boston team was much better
kobe in 08 finals
game 1: 9-26
game 4: 6-19
game 5: 8-21
game 6: 7-22
games 1 & 4-6: 30-88 34fg%
So prime kobe blew a huge lead in the crucial game 4 and got completely blown out in game 6

Actually this just isn't true. Kobe's team in the 08 playoffs played worse defense than the Cavs as a whole...and actually got worse with Kobe on the floor by 2.1 points.
Lebron's Cavs played way better defense overall and got better with Lebron on the floor by 2.5 points.
Kobe was not doing anything defensively in the playoffs that year that Lebron wasn't doing or more.
And I also don't think the teammates thing is accurate. Gasol was better than anyone on the Cavs...and Odom might have been as well. West and Joe Smith played alright...but outside of that it was pretty weak for the Cavs.
