Wow...a 7 page LeBron thread without me...I'm impressed. I am not saying much about this. To an extent Morty is right. I don't agree with how aggressively he bashes the guy but his weaknesses are obvious. This year should tell the tale. On paper it is the most complete team he has been on. They are starting the year healthy with a pretty strong backcourt (Williams/Gibson/West). Varejao and Pavlovic are with the team and in shape from the start. They made a massive trade late last year and still played the Celtics tougher than any other team in the postseason. The whole team PLUS LeBron were part of that. LeBron's unbelievably horrendous game 1 in a close game may have been the big difference in the series...but he pretty much single-handedly gave them a shot in game 7.
In the end he's likely not as bad as Morty says nor as good as I say. That's usually how these things work. It's a long season. We'll see how it works out. I think they'll be a pretty decent team this year.
