And once again, Lebron doesn’t live up to his end of the heavyweight bout that is the Kobe-Lebron Finals. A shame, really. It’s all I wanted this season. Revenge on the Celtics isn’t that bad a consolation prize, tho.

lolbron.

should be a great conference finals, but too bad there’s like 3 day waits inbetween games… suns-lolkers not playing until monday? then game two on wed? then game 3… sunday? wtf nba. i know this playoffs is going pretty fast, but really now…

well folks, their you have it. lebron and the cavs choke again.

I suppose I’m stupid but you would have said the same thing if I told you Boston would have Pierce/KG and Allen. I’m not saying Cleveland has to sign them both, any of them would be a great addition. Bosh/Lebron would have the best chemistry, easily. Wade and Bron are both slashers, having them both on the court would be devastating. It’s just discussion, you dickhead.

Yeah this schedule is really weird. Didn’t it used to be:

Back to back games (1 and 2), two days for travel, back to back games (3 and 4), travel day, game (5), travel day, game(6), travel day, game (7)

Somebody refresh me if I’m wrong

It is obvious Lebron just basically quit at the end of game 6.

The whole team quit, but that was after lebron was like fuck it.

If you guys were a GM, would you want to try to sign Lebron? I personally would go after Bosh/Wade before I even consider Lebron.

It depends on whether the team is more concerned with winning or making money. If it is making money Lebron would be the very first person to sign. There is no question he brings in alot of cash to a franchise.

Lebron “Jester” James Chokes again!!!

:amazed::woot::lovin:

I made the comparison to the Hawks about 4 or so pages backwards, the Cavs didn’t kinda quit… THEY QUIT!!!
That’s a testiment to bad coaching, bad leadership and just not knowing what the fuck to do in order to become champions

Fixed that for you bro’ham

Took the words right out of my mouth bro’ lol

Did you NOT just watch this game… re-read that statement in bold, DEFINED LEADER… Lebron played just as streaky as Joe Johnson did, believe it or not, it would NOT be a tramendous upgrade for the Hawks!!!

BULL SHIT!!!

Lebron is a tramendously goo ATHLETIC SPECIMEN!!!
Lebron is no where near a great ball player yet, get real!!!
People need to stop throwing around words they do not knwo the full meaning of!!
The man travels continuously, he isn’t really gifted with ball handling skills, his jump shot is worse then streaky, the best part of Lebron’s game, the thing that stands out the most about lebron… is his highlight ability, his ability to take it to the rack… THAT’S IT!!!
That does not make him a GREAT BALL PLAYER!!!

Learn your history, there was a player, played for the Hawks, was a pure athletic genius, mad hops that hadn’t been seen since Julius Erving, his name… DOMINIQUE WILKINS a.k.a. the human highlight Reel.
This man was all hops, nasty around below,above the rim and going towards it BUT… before Nique tore his A.Tendon, he had shit for jump shot, he was no where near dependable outside 16 footers and other then a few dunks, fancy tip in’s, was no where near a COMPLETE or GREAT BALL PLAYER!!!
When that man came back, he played defense, gained a jump shot, a post up game, even got better at the free throw line!!

Something Lebron has not and will not do BECAUSE the organization keeps stroking his dick!!
No one is actually telling him to his face “Yo Bron, this stallion style of B-ball you playing ain’t enough” “The horse race to the dunk isn’t going to win us championships, the celtics just proved that to you, step ya’ damn game up”

All the complaints about Dirk NOT gaining guts to post up and jump hook or take it to the rack… the difference compared to Lebron is he’s younger and has the chance to develop these skills, if he was such a student of the game, he would WANT TO DO IT, before anyone would have to tell him!!!

Speak for yourself, I’m doubting that entire statement in regards to “Jester” James

The man had 9 turnovers for the game, 3 in crunch time, he didn’t get his team into down the stretch, people can blame Mo Williams but the man had a mild streak going, busting 20 points by 3rd Quarter, the rest of the team was forgotten, Lebron wanted to carry and failed, don’t blame the team for being cold and when they finally touched the rock they needed to play like they had 40 pts in the 1st quarter, blame the superstar who always turns it up for himself… but forgets about everyone else wearing the same color jersey!!!

I think you are underrated Lebron a little too much. He won the MVP award 2 years in a row.
His supporting cast isn’t too good. He is a great player on a sub-par team.

No one here can deny that Lebron is a great ball player in general.
But great teams win games. I mean the team did not play well today.

It is not fair to put all the blame on Lebron. He didn’t lose the game himself.
He and the team lost the game. He needs a better supporting cast.

Kinda how the Lakers were b4 they got Gasol.

Are you serious guy? Lebron might be over hyped but damn you make him look like chump change. You’re telling everybody to face the facts but it’s apparent you have never looked at his numbers. You say hes only good because he can take it to the rim, so he takes it to the rim for 37+ points a game? You’re also forgetting all the balls he slaps into the 14th row? I’m having a hard time seeing the two time MVP ex finalist being bad. I’ve seen so many damn shots that looked impossible after he gets fouled and he just some how manages to make them go in. I didn’t say he was the best, I said he is fantastic. He’s an amazing athlete, he does what no 6`8 280 can do in the game. As a ball player, no he isn’t the best and if understanding the game and seeing openings were apart of the voting instead of numbers Kobe Bryant would be MVP.

Lebron had a triple-double in that game, you don’t get that from ball hogging, Kobe made a statement when he lost in the playoffs by not being aggressive, he passed to his supporters who just couldn’t contribute, those players are now the Laker bench.

just in case if we haven’t shat on court jester enough here is an interesting article. a few days old but still

Lebron leaving Cleveland will have the same effect as Shaq leaving Orlando, if not worse.

Where the fuck are all these non regular nba posters coming from? I understand the usual hardcore fans that only root for their team, P. Gorath, but there are some who all of sudden are posting as if they have basketball knowledge or as if all these things have not been debated on before in the thread.

Damn ESPN just does not want to let the Lebron story die and lol @ all of them jumping on Celtics bandwagon. Once again people sweeping the Magic under the rug.

What are the headlines in Canada?

How old are you like 12??

So wait, the Cavs “Supporting Cast” was good enough to get the best record in the NBA, Home court advantage throughout but yet 3 years in a row we ge the "Sub-Par’ excuse??

Are you fucking serious??

Jamison just a week in a half before he was traded to the Cavs was a 21-10 player… What happen to that once he got to Cleveland huh??
Mo Williams, Pg, also a 20plus-6 style player yet when ever he’s in the playoffs and begins to live up to that potential, Lebron takes the ball out of his hands and becomes the PG, stifling Mo Williams ability to be an option PERIOD let alone #2 #3 or #4!!!
“Z” all the ability in the world to live up to his previous 12-10 or 12-6 stat line BUT Lebron who pretended to lub his center so much earlier in the season when “Z” lost his consecutive in game streak, or when he got traded away during the Jamison deal, has yet to speak out about how under used his big man was/is.
No Jamario Moon,No Hickson,No Boobie Gibson,D.West an after thought!!

All players who once upon a time, carried this team to CONSECUTIVE seasons of top #3 over all records in the NBA, are now suddenly not a good enough supporting cast!!!

D.WADE WON A FUCKING TITLE WITH UDONIS HASLEM BEING HS BEST FUCKING REBOUNDER AND DEFENDER FOR GOD’S SAKE!!!
An old as Gary Payton, Kidney Blown Alonzo Moutning are you fucking kidding me??
Only 2 or 3 players on this team of the Cavs have double figures in experience years in the NBA, how is this cast NOT GOOD ENOUGH to out run the old ass Celtics!!!

Supporting cast not good enough, I am so fucking tired of reading this shit, learn your history!!!
Indiana Pacers, Reggie Miller “Superstar” played with Rick fucking Smits, the Dutch Boy in the paint, mad foot and ankle injuries, a beastly jump shot but no hops, yet the Pacers utilized that jump shot to pull big men like Patrick Ewing and Alonzo Mourning out of the paint for YEARS!!!
The Pacers so called solid big men were the offensively challenged Davis brothers, an ageing Mark Jackson, an up in coming Jalen Rose, matter of fact, during there hay day, I don’t really remember Reggie having a SOLID #2 to run too, yet they got the job done!!!

Supporting cast my ass, Jordan had Kukoc who after he left the bulls did what??
Steve Kerr wasn’t no high name PG, outside hitting a few 3-pointers Jordan dished him the rock to shoot, what was Steve Fkerr knonw for, Bill Cartwright, Luc Longly, get fucking real, outside pippen jordan didn’t have a shit ton of options but he mad that ish work and got 6 titles out that sum-a-bitch too!!!

Lebron ain’t making shit happen, I can list plenty other teams who did way better with less but older talent, there is no excuse for this, and Im sick of the excuses, Lebron is in a league where superstars don’t even have to work as hard as Jordan,barkley etc did to get calls and up lift there teams when they just didn’t stand a chance, Lebron has all the help in the world, he is CHOKING IT AWAY!!!

God I love the backtracking people are doing, he went from having the greatest supporting cast in the NBA to having the worst. People being extra salty is awesome.

well I used to post quite a bit before but then took a break because I got tired of all the fantasy basketball talk .
