Personally, I think Boston was the better team but at least the two teams were close so if James would have lost this series, as brilliantly as he played throughout it, I would have at least understood the criticism that would have come his way. Now that they are in the finals, I think OKC is decidedly better as a team than Miami and no matter how well James plays, Miami is going to lose and he's going to be blamed. He could score 50 a game and everyone will blame him.

Excellent hedge. Now, if he does disappear you can say I told you so. If he plays well, you'll also be right.
