    Lakers and Mavericks were undeniably better teams. Unfortunately they went cold at a bad time, and ran into bad matchups, and lost to inferior teams. It happens in NBA too.

    two upsets in the past 7 years

    two upsets in the NFL is "a typical Wild Card weekend"

    LMAO @ DoK and Mono now just reaching for reasons to explain their unexplainable hate on Lebron.

    It was ridiculously predictable that you two would be the main ones in this thread, because you both constantly make arguments based on emotion like a mofo.

    Lebron should have gone to Chicago. Good enough supporting cast, not another mans team.

    I love watching my team because of hope.

    When the Mavs sucked in the 90's I had hope they'd improve.

    When they broke the wall and reached the playoffs, there was hope they'd take another step.

    When they broke that wall and took another step, there was le hopes.

    They've been stuck at that step for years, but I've always still had hope that the Mavs could make a move here or there and break through to a le. Was the hope a bit unrealistic at times? Sure, but it was there, it was tangible, and nobody could 100% say the Mavs had no chance whatsoever.

    Now, after this? No hope. Nothing. There's no point. I can watch and root and want them to win, but I have no hopes for my team anymore. I don't want them to suck, but at least when they sucked, I watched them with hope.

    since apparently you guys are defining "higher seed beating a lower seed" as upsets, which is technically what they are (although we all know seeding doesnt mean everything)

    there were 3 upsets this year alone

    Spurs over Mavs
    Jazz over Nuggets
    Celtics over Magic

    There's only 1 way to take them out. To create your own superteam. And that's a fact.

    When I say upset, I mean where no one expects a team to have a chance. All Western teams outside of LA were evenly matched, so one beating the other isn't an upset.

    In the NBA, there are 2-3 teams (on a very rare occasion 4) that have a chance at winning a championship. In the NFL there are surprise contenders every year. It's actually true that anything can happen in the NFL playoffs. In the NBA not so much.

He won 2 MVPs, led them to multiple 60+ win seasons, a Finals appearance, and a number of memorable performances, including probably the most dominant closure to a game the league has ever seen. he did WAYYYY more than anyone else has ever done there, and did it all with a ty ass team around him, that was only going to get worse. Lebron had NO chance of being able to reach GOAT status if he stayed in cleveland, because they are pretty much ed for the future. A bunch of awful and long contracts to mediocre players, no cap space to get anyone better... they were as good as they could get, and would only decline from where they were.

    Lebron had a number of different roads to take, but going to Miami was the one that would give him the best chance to win the most. He's smart as for taking it.
    +1. Damn, I actually agree with stretch...

    Thats exactly why with LeBron leaving the Cavs, the Spurs will forever be known as the only small-market team to get the job done..

    What Duncan did in 2003 is something Lebron will never do.

    Those aren't upsets. I don't care what their seeding was, those are evenly matched teams playing each other.

    An upset is if someone knocked off the Lakers. And upset is if Charlotte somehow beat Orlando. And upset is a truly inferior team finding a way to beat the superior team.

    Upsets don't happen in the NBA. Well twice in seven years.

    I agree with Stretch on everything but the most dominant closer performance ever. The 07 Pistons are nowhere close to some of the teams Jordan put away. The performance isn't even in Jordan's top 5.

    Yeah because the NFL doesnt have the "series" format like the NBA and MLB. In the NFL playoffs, its win or go home and any team can beat any other team on any given day..

    Tbh I wasn't that much of a fan of the way he did it, but it was worth it just to see all the way over the top butthurtedness from people who are getting way melodramatic.
