People love making EXCUSES. He lost in the Finals in 07 and lost again in 2014. I don't wanna hear Oh he had no help apparently he had help otherwise he couldn't of made the finals. By that logic Lebron must have played played 1 0n 5 the whole playoffs to make the finals. in sports you can't make excuses he has yet to win a ring for the Cavs so far he has failed both times. Anyone can make an excuse for why they lost i nthe end it doesn't matter. We could make excuses on why the Lakers lose in 04 to the Pistons with a superteam? it doesn't matter they lost.
Just like people always say oh The Heat were lucky in 2013 against the Spurs it doesn't matter they WON a win is a win. They did enough to win the series and they did. Why make excuses?

The 2002-03 Cavs were 17-65 (25 games back of the 8-seed) and had the worst record in the NBA. They got the top pick and drafted Lebron James
The 2003-04 Cavs were 35-47
The 2004-05 Cavs were 42-40 (same record as the 8-seeded Nets)
The Cavs were BAD when James got there the first time. Really bad. That's why it took a few years before the Cavs could make the playoffs
EDIT: Jordan and the Wizards were 35-47 in 2002-03. Jordan had a better supporting cast. Jerry Stackhouse led the Wizards in scoring that year and was arguably their best player.

I would bet the Cavs will win it all this season..
They took the Warriors to 5 games last season in the finals without Mo Williams,or Kyrie Irving.
The Cavs are better this season,& the Warriors are,I would say worse,after losing David Lee.Also,Bogut is not staying healthy this season.
