That Nets team the next year was a very, very gross looking roster too outside of Kidd and Jefferson, though.

The Lakers were extremely good but man they got a pair of cupcakes those two years.

Uh wasn't Mutumbo defensive player of the year that year.

That Philly team requires AI for offense. But was stout as poo poo on defense.

That's closer to the 2011 Bulls team where Rose was the offense, but they had good defensive players behind him.

True but when you're going up against prime Kobe, prime Shaq in addition to a bunch of quality role players, you need more than just AI scoring.

'12 celtics had a pretty good go at them. Rondo scored 44 pts in one game. I guess that's outside of his current Cleveland run during which the East has been even more awful than usual

Relative to league average it is the worst defensive team to make the finals. Even surpassing the 1951 Knicks.

Zogo bot, please tell us how great LeBron James is now.

Player			Finals Appearances
Bill Russell		12
Sam Jones		11
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar	10
Jerry West		9
Magic Johnson		9
Tom Heinsohn		9
LeBron James		9
LBJ is the first player to lead two separate teams to 4+ finals streaks:

code:
Streak		Team			NBA Finals
10 seasons	Boston Celtics		1957–1966
4 seasons	Los Angeles Lakers	1982–1985
4 seasons	Boston Celtics		1984–1987
4 seasons	Miami Heat		2011–2014
4 seasons	Cleveland Cavaliers	2015–2018
In career statistics he has more work to do to pass Kareem and Wilt. Kareem had nearly 50,000 points. Wilt had nearly 30,000 rebounds.

I tend to log off if I get that angry. I've only gotten that "you wouldn't like me when I'm angry" mad a handful of times in my life. One time was in either college or high school and my mom and/or brother did a series of things over the course of a couple weeks and I snapped. Left their house and got in my car and just started yelling. My then-GF was with me and got really scared and scooted away as far as she could until a few minutes after I calmed down.

That hurt me, and I haven't gotten that angry since. Went back to using a lot of the techniques my therapist from when I was in elementary and middle school taught me to deal with my parents' divorce and then my dad's death in addition to just more daily reflection.

You probably haven't had anything truly bad happen to you because the world has way way more stuff that'll bum you out than make you mad, that also makes getting mad a laughable luxury by comparison

Maybe that's just a temperament thing or maybe you've never walked in on a ten year-old kid who's been hanging from a light fixture by their neck for a couple days

Or maybe you've never had your team up 3-1 in an NBA Finals only to lose to the GOAT

Yeah, the worst I have had to deal with was stupid family issues that was, at worst, domestic violence, an untimely passing, alzheimer's, and cancer. Crying because I couldn't cry at my pawpaw's funeral. Things like that. Nothing as tragic as walking in on a successful suicide attempt or an active murder or anything. e2: this is sincere and not sarcasm

Being at the game and about 30 feet from where CP3 got his knee shredded by a sideline camera (also, it was the first NBA I ever attended and the tickets were a birthday/Christmas gift from my mom) and later watching the team fall apart due to injury the first year I really started following them is up there, I guess.

e: oh, my dad's brother wanting one weekend a month custody of me (but not my brother) despite taking things from my dad's house, laying down his bike, racing his car, and not including my side of the family in any of the funeral proceedings but wanting us to pay for half of it pissed me off a good bit, too
