2010. Not very close, either.

No doubt. Not even in the same universe.

2010 shouldn’t even be an option.  It’s in a different class. 

2012 is also clearly more painful for me for multiple reasons:

1.  In 2012 lebron played for the best team.  A win meant a title that was more than 50 pct likely (IMO).
2.  2010 already felt like we may have been on borrowed time and 2012 definitely did.  Up 3-2 with rondo playing like a top 5 player in the world and up until that point us having lebrons number in the playoffs for the most part, just feels like we wasted something we would never get back.  And we didn’t.  It’s the opposite here - we are undoubtedly going to be better next season (and that would be the case even without the return of all our injured guys since the young guys are all bound to improve). Next year we are Warriors East (and better than the Warriors).
3.  The heat were public enemy number one and i really wanted them to get theirs.  Kinda hard to hate this Cavs team on the same level.

Unless you weren’t alive, it has to be 2010.  It was the Finals vs the Lakers and we had ‘em beat.

I voted 2012 only because it literally felt like the big 4's last chance to win a title and after game 5 I was going crazy with excitement. Loved that grind it out, old man pace they played at against the heat, they simply were just giving teams the Vet treatment. 

2010 is the obvious choice though it still hurts *Slamming fist on table*

2010
2012




2018


2018 is a stinger but inexperience and lack of focus got to this young squad.  If Kyrie and Hayward was healthy and the team lost, it would be #1

2010 was the hardest to swallow.  2012 team made a nice late push but ran out of gas

2010. Still have PTSD over it.

2018 doesn't really even rank with those 2. most rational fans knew in the back of their mind that even if we went to the finals it would be over in 4-5 games. It wouldv'e just been a big step in this teams development and nice to beat Lebron.

2010 takes the cake because we are talking banner 18. That was a devastating loss.

2012 is close because that was our last chance to win a championship with the big 3 and we wouldve had a 50/50 shot had we made it to the finals.

2010 by a wide margin. If I recall we were up by something like 13 points going into the 4th quarter. I thought we had #18 in the bag.
