That doesn't really impact this, playoff record is also based on team strength.

Jordan had 20 losses when he had played 33 playoff games.

Wilt had 19

Baylor had 16


Quentin.. :lol:

And getting cooked like that is rough too.

Why aren't other current players besides Luka on this list then? Do they play in a different league?


Who? I was commenting on Wilt, Baylor, and Jordan...but obviously mostly Baylor and Wilt.

No i go with the facts. And that the EC was **** during Lebrons first years is a common fact, that’s why LeBron has this 41-29 record.

And now compare Lebrons first playoff oppononts with Luka’s:
Healthy Kawhi Clippers
Healthy Kawhi Clippers
Pre Blow it up Jazz
64 win Suns
later Champs Warriors
2024 Clippers


But yeah „narrative“


LOL at healthy Kawhi Clippers. As if that was anything to behold anyway. What have those teams done? What did the Mitchell-Gobert Jazz do? What have the ‘24 Clips done? Meanwhile, the ‘22 Warriors are widely known to be the weakest champions in the last 10 years.

First stint LeBron had to go up against one of the all-time best defenses ever in the late 00s Celtics (who also won the first year he lost to them and then were a healthy Perkins in G7 in the Finals away from winning again). He also lost to the Magic who were far ahead of their time in ‘09. Need I continue?

Not to mention the fact that his cast was <<< to Luka’s, and pieces they did bring in that were supposed to help (eg. Ben Wallace in ‘09) were trash. Front office and coaches? In Luka’s favour too.



Yea Luka is so lucky to have Jason Kidd as his coach. How is any team with Kidd coaching at an advantage?


The Cavs from 2003-2010 went through FIVE different head coaches in John Lucas, Keith Smart, Paul Silas, Brendan Malone, and Mike Brown. And they were all absolutely horrible. After Cleveland, Mike Brown, the "best" of this bunch, went to LAL where he completely failed, and it took TEN seasons of development and experience before he finally got another head coaching gig.

Believe me, 2024 Jason Kidd as a HC > all of those.
