    Last thing I'll say on it though, is this is revisionist history at it's finest OJ cause the not having help thing was VERY prominent throughout that series and the in the aftermath of it. It's not like the threads aren't still here to see what was being said. But this isn't the place for this discussion and it really doesn't need to be beaten into the ground again anyway.

    I guess it depends on how you define not having help. It was not the same LeBron "needing help" from his first stint in Cleveland. That was he needed "help" because they didn't have a championship caliber roster, they over achieved as is.

    The Miami team everyone knew the help was there, they were just coming off of two championships with basically the same squad. People were just pointing out that outside of LeBron that "help" was playing like ****. Which was true, I don't know how anyone could say it wasn't. Rio, Wade, Bosh all underperformed. Idk why it was a big deal for point to acknowledge that. Like I already said it wasn't an issue to point out when Manu disappeared, Harden, Klay in this years finals had Cleveland won. It's only an issue when it's LeBron, like a lot of **** is.

    Like others said this isn't the place for this anyways, but idk why everyone wants to ignore the differences and pretend it was the same situation. It's like a running joke with the "he needs help" when nobody said it to that context anyways. It was more like "Miami can't win with Wade and Bosh playing like this" which was absolutely 100% true, idk how anyone could believe otherwise, especially with how San Antonio was playing.

        He's one of the best pick and roll big men in the league. He and Parker just aren't going to be fair.

            There used to be one but it was closed. 23 almost reopened it again but decided against it.

              I think it would be pretty funny if both the Spurs and Cavs lose in the conference finals and we get a Milwaukee vs Memphis finals or two other teams that nobody would care to see inthe finals lol.

                  I'm all for the Grizz making the finals lol.

                  But that would probably be the least watched finals ever lol.

                    I'm probably forgetting someone, but who is the backup C for the Spurs now that Splitter and Baynes is gone? Diaw? That PF depth though, yeesh. Can go from Aldridge to West to Duncan and even Kawhi if they go small. That's not fair.

                      Bonner/Ayers maybe?

                      They could probably sign Greg Steiemsma, Henry Sims, or Bernard James for basically nothing an make them fit perfectly.

                      They also have Diaw in that nasty PF rotation.

                        I'd watch it.

                        I'd love to see a Milwaukee, Memphis finals.

                          I get the feeling Milwaukee will be fun to watch this year. Looking forward to my annual roadtrip to the Bradley Center.

                            I'd watch it because its the NBA Finals of course, but I'm not even going to pretend like I'd root for a MIL\MEM finals to happen.

                              I like the Cavs moves so far, Basketball is a team sport, and Cavs need a better team if they hope to win the title.
