This is pretty reasonable. Disregard the 13 game playoff winning streak that immediately preceded that abomination. This, probably meaningless, game is definitely much more representative of his entire career than everything else he's ever done.

LeBron is one of the two best players ever regardless of what happens in that series, if that series happens.

They have had zero competition thus far. Playing a real team like the Cavs COULD look a little different. We'll see.

I hope so.

The numbers are pretty clear that the Warriors are one of the most dominant teams ever at this point. Part of that probably is the lack of competition (KD's major contribution), but the statement remains true. You don't have to be impressed by it or sing their praises, but their margins of victory, etc., clearly indicate dominance.
