The Lebron Offensive System. Good or Bad?

"Minimizes star talent"

Kyrie averages 25-6-3 on 47/40/90 splits. Kevin Love averages 19/11/2 on his 3rd most efficient season of his career, reason his points are down is because he's the third option...

The combined stats for Lebron Love and Kyrie in 2016-17 are:

70.3-23-16.4 on 48.3/38.4/77 splits

Klay Steph and KD combined stats:

72.7-16.5-13.5 on 49/40.3/87.5 splits

Not a massive difference there at all.

You saying the team played any differently under Blatt, which is what caused them to go to 6 games is a complete lie. The two games they won were because of Lebrons pure domination and his perfect execution of what you call "LOS" while having no talent around him.

Lastly, saying that offense is a "relic of the past" is an absolute joke. Relic of the past would mean they didn't score over 110 points in 4 out of 5 finals games against an amazing defensive team. Their ORtg for the finals was 114.6... To blame losing those 5 finals on lebron is an absolute joke:

Lebron has lost in the finals 5 times and not because of "LOS" once. 2007: completely outmatched, nobody in CLE could compare to that Spurs team. 2011: He choked, not the "LOS" 2014: injured Wade and Bosh, the two combined for 30 ppg in the finals with no other scorers. 2015: Kyrie and Love both injured. The "LOS" still wins 2 games against a 67-15 warriors team without a second or third option. 2017: they score 120 points in game 5, still lose. Safe to say their offense wasn't the problem this series, especially when you look at Efg% for finals teams and see there's right at the top.
