Still not impressive considering that they had to go to overtime to win the first game.  No the competion in the West wasn't though since most of the teams they beat to get to the finals had key injuries.  I stand by what I said if they win it all they will be easily the most overrated 60+ regular season team to win a title.


Sounds like you're a member of the LeBron Defense Force.

I'm sick of hearing how he's still the best even when he loses.  Whoever wins the title is the best.  Plain and simple.  You can't win a title and be overrated.  Overrated is a team like the Atlanta Hawks who were terribly exposed in the playoffs.  I just don't want to hear crap about how someone can get lucky by winning four best of seven series.  That's a bunch of hogwash. 

Well a series doesn't reveal the best players, only the best team.  Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, and Wilt Chamberlain all land higher on the vast majority of "greatest all time" lists than anyone on the Celtics of the 60s.  Yet all of them lost to that team numerous times.  Just saying, don't lay this all on Lebron; even Jordan couldn't win alone.   Keep the discussion focused on the teams, not one guy.  And on the point of teams, Cleveland is missing key players, Golden State is not.  At full capacity, they make for a pretty even match.
