I made the comment more to speak to the disappointment that the 2 teams who could put up a fight are in the disadvantaged play in rounds

Yeah no disagreement on the other teams in the east.

Impossible I was told Eric Spoelstra was this genius coach and not a guy who is just fortunate enough to coach in a city that everyone wants to play in.

Difference between LeBron & Jordan playoff careers:

2,036 PTS - 1,397 REB - 1,001 AST - 18.1 WS - 10.7 VORP

Jason Kidd playoff career:

2,043 PTS - 1,058 REB - 1,263 AST - 14.5 WS - 9.7 VORP

Embiid doesn’t look healthy. Knicks are trash though.

Longevity longevity longevity.

How many deiffrent ways can you try to make the same argument?

Nobody cares. Everybody with half a brain knows quality > quantity.

Also, just want to point out that you have brought Jordan up once again unprovoked.

Yea, because that's what has been said.

You know somebody has a weak argument when they always have to resort to strawmans, trolling, and just all around disingenuous behavior.

Have a nice weekend!

Oh that's right, I forgot you try to claim Lebron has the peak argument too every time the argument gets here.

So cute. Thanks for one more laugh.

You might as well hope the Chiefs get MHJ or Joe Alt while you're at it.

Nah spoelstra is a terrific coach. I can't hate on the guy. Getting last year's team to the finals was an accomplishment and a half
