I just don't see how people think otherwise. It pretty much exposes people who watch highlights and read box scores, then try to jump in in-depth discussions

Lol, things change can't say I'm a fan and never will be . Still hate him but I can't say he's overrated like before.
Im more into hating stat padding Russell Westbrook now.

When a guy averages 38, 8, and 8 on 49% in a series including a buzzer-beating game-winner, and the #2 option shoots 37% from the field, basic common sense says his team probably wasn't doing enough. Even Freeze of all people has come around on this, but good to see you keeping seaman's legacy alive during his absence.

There were also games guys did step up and Bron played like poo, most notably in that Game 5 vs BOS. I will concede he had to carry most of the load though.

Anthony Bennett- $4,100- BKN vs BOS
Bennett is a former top overall pick who is competing for a spot off Brooklyn’s bench. He has played slightly over 20 minutes in each of his last two games and has been showing some ability on offense. He is far from a safe play since the Nets rotation is so deep and his general ability to play basketball is a question mark, but he gives upside at a cheap price in GPPs.

This is similar to the Chicago Bulls while D Rose was there and Noah had that MVP-like year. They would get hyped up but even us fans knew that they were slightly overachieving with Thibs at the helm (every time the Bulls would beat the Heat in the regular season it was only a good sign at best) . The offense would move like molasses and that becomes even more of an issue in the playoffs where the game slows down. I still think ppl are nitpicking though when it comes to Lebron and KD. They both made decisions that would benefit their careers in controversial ways albeit different circumstances. Last year was the closest KD got to the championship since OKC faced Miami how many years ago? The basketball landscape can change wildly and suddenly, KG I think said he regrets not leaving Minnesota sooner so maybe KD departure came at the perfect time in his career?
And yikes at that Bennett post. What if the Cavs' incompetence was all part of Lebron's grand plan? Let them stew at the bottom of the league for a few years, fall *** backwards into a couple #1 picks, and once they have enough compelling assets make a triumphant return as their savior

I'm seeing some revisionist history in here 
All one needs to do is go bump the articles and threads during the 08-10 LeBron era Cavs.
I swear, people forget how teams were constructed back then. The Cavs weren't THAT bad. They were the favorites. And Bron and Co underachieved.
He went to Miami to team up with a top 3 player, and a top 15 player...and won two chips as the best player.
That's what happened.

Amen. Let's continue this budding relationship stemming from Reacho and D'Lo and Randle hate. I never said they stew l Cavs were a juggernaut, almost nobody was calling them trash. Not even arguing the they were favorites mostly because of LeBron, but they were favorites as a team, and unless I'm missing something trash teams aren't touted as favorites even if they have transcendent superstars.

I mean the list of teams to win a ring with out a second legit all star or HOF talent is very small.
So the Cavs as many wins as they racked up in the regular seasons were always going to have problems come playoff time.

The Cavs being so dominant during the regular season was because it was really hard to gameplan for Lebron James on a nightly basis. He's that good, so you do your best, and he could beat most teams during the regular season with whatever supporting cast they could throw at him at the time.
Fastforward to playoffs where the better team typically wins and you can actually gameplan and built an attack and defense against it and that's where they would get exposed and beat.
If you want to claim revisionist history, it works both ways.

Those Cavs aren't even on the same level as the great regular season squads from the Suns and Mavs during the mid 2000's imo

Pretty much. They were a flawed team that won a whole bunch of games and had fun while doing it, just couldn't make things happen when it mattered. They were basically those 06-09 Charger teams. No revisionist history about that.
