Yea so good they looked like a slightly above average playoff team and hardly a true title contender the one year without him.
They followed that up by going 23-25 in 1995 until MJ finally returned. Not even fuckig above .500.
Wade/Bosh/Allen would’ve been one of, if not the best, teams in the East with Lebron hypothetically out of the league. The difference isn’t nearly as significant as you’re making it out to be. [Reply]
Embiid just threw up an air ball 3 late in the 4th. He missed ay least 3 terribly at the end of game 3. His coach should shut that shit down a little [Reply]

They’re not ready yet. Need another year or so and more guys around those two. [Reply]

You mean minus the title Wade had already won with the Heat before Lebron got there against . . . . . you guessed it, the Dallas Mavericks. The team that Lebron and his homies/buddies lost to. Ironic, isn’t it? [Reply]

Besides, now you guys are changing the argument. What you and RunKC are saying is MJ’s teams were vastly surperior. That’s clearly not the case.
I never once said they were vastly superior. They were damn good though and lebrons heat teams weren’t as much better as you guys are making it out to be.
And I don’t think they’d have easily won the east at that point with wade beginning to break down a bit. They could have but not easily as you suggest. [Reply]

True
But that early heat team was a bit different than the one that beat the thunder and spurs [Reply]
