Now he cant even win a game with this star studded Lakers team. You know who made Cleveland relevant, took the Cavs to the Finals playing with four guys from accounting, made Mo Williams an All-Star and made Mike Brown COTY. RECOGNIZE GREATNESS PEOPLE!
The East was ridiculously bad during those years. Even worse than it is now. It was very easy to: 1. Pad your regular season record against the worst teams the NBA has seen in many years, since Eastern Conference teams play mostly teams in the Eastern Conference 2. Even get to the Finals as an Eastern Conference team, since your opponents consist of nothing but other awful teams in the East. Then you face a team from the West wearing the big boy pants and the illusion of quality is shattered.
Exactly, ngz thought "well, he took clevland to 66 wins, he must be a solid coach" Lol, NAWWWW NGA, it werent mike browns coachin that made da Cavs so damn good hehe....
Errybody'n dey MAMMA kno Lebron DA TRUF... Spoiler nka... (and not a single f*** to GRAMMAR was given that day...)
Your second point is why we should have the playoffs include the 16 best teams in the league instead of doing the 8 best from each conference.

Lets look at Cleveland 08-10 against the West.... 2009-10 (61-21 record): 38-14 (.760) vs. East 23-7 (.767) vs. West 2008-09 (66-16 record): 40-12 (.769) vs. East 26-4 (.867) vs. West They did better against WCF teams than ECF teams. Nice try though. Lebron couldn't get it done in the playoffs and Finals because roleplayers are just roleplayers. They can look good in the regular season but they get exposed in the playoffs. You can't win anything with Mo Williams as your number 2 option.
