That shit so tired. The meh-ness of the East has little to do with who he drew in the postseason. In 06 he lost to an elite Pistons team that won more than 60 games. The year after that, he singlehandedly got his revenge on that same Pistons squad and carried the Cavs to the Finals where he got swept just like everyone expected the Cavs to. The year after THAT, he lost in 7 to an elite Celtics team and dropped 40-something in Game 7. The year after that... he dropped the ball in game 6 against the Magic but he averaged over 40 in the first 5 games. The year after that, he lost to an elite Celtics team that was obviously resting during the regular season but had numbers better than that won Kobe the Finals MVP the same year. Last year he finished off the Celtics and ethered Derrick Rose before, okay, choking in the Finals. What a horrible resume. He's even worse than that kid from UNC who tore shit up almost a decade but couldn't get past Zeke.
