06.01.07 LEBRON JAMES? GOOD AT BASKETBALL

The Spurs roll got a big helping hand from David Stern, no?

no, wade did not dismantle the pistons by himself…..he did dismantle the mavs by himself though and that was in the finals. I am not trying to compare Lebron to Wade. They play different styles and play different position/roles on their respective teams. But what lebron did last night is not on par with what I witnessed last season. It was a single great performance but he needs to follow that up with multiple great performances and get his team a victory in this series and the next. If he accomplishes both I will concede that what he accomplished one of the greatest feats I have ever seen by a basketball player and definitely superior to what wade did last year against the pistons and mavs. 

I heard Lebron treated the team to Roady's Truck Stop after the game.

ah, but that Old Man Horry is shifty.  I love to watch LeBron play, but he still needs one or more legit All-Stars to run with before he gets the title.  A better coach wouldn't hurt either.

Sometimes I agree with the better coach thinking. Sometimes I see the improvement on defense and I think Brown must know something.

btw, Tim love your avatar.  That's where i went to school.  I wish it had been her panties but it was actually South Carolina.  Smelled about the same though.

When does training camp start?

I think we all should just consider what hbick has laid out here for us:

<i>lakers fan can suck a fat dick now, kobe might be good but he wouldn't score…</i>

Don't ponder that too long though… at some point it becomes gay.

Well said Steven.  I really don't think he can play like he has in the past three games for much longer.  Who knows though, maybe there is a reason he coasted through the entire season.

Very good game for LeBron, however if Kobe scored the last 25 points for the Lakers in a playoff game he would be regarded as a "selfish ballhog," justice? I think not…especially since LeBron never even thought about passing, great game though, honestly, although I can still see this series being a toss up, Detroit is clutch and full of talent while Cleveland has one dude, a very good one, surrounded by men with questionable haircuts (Z, tough guy Drew Gooden). Truth of the matter is that LBJ is still very much overhyped and will be until his retirement unless he can prove wrong…the season series versus SA does not really matter at this point as the Spurs are somewhat invincible. Another thing to add is coaching, Flip is still better than what's his face with the glasses, and if CLE beats DET, what's his face is no match for Pop.

 PS - I am from Canada so I might not understand what this "Hockey" is about, can someone explain it to this foreigner? It sounds like some sort of extinct culture…

He can definitely play at this level for the rest of this series(1 more game) AND finals…I dont know how well the Cavs will do against the spurs in the finals, I'll have a good idea after game 1, but I think they can definitely get the job done…and oh yeah, that was one of the GREATEST performances I have ever seen in the playoffs, I mean WOW 25 straight points, 29 of the last 30???Absurd…

Your stance on the playoffs is admirable. I still can't stop from watching King James dominate though.

"Very good game for LeBron, however if Kobe scored the last 25 points for the Lakers in a playoff game he would be regarded as a "selfish ballhog," justice? I think not…especially since LeBron never even thought about passing"—lebron is a much bigger team player than kobe, he had been passing earlier in the series and that wasn't getting the results the cavs needed.  he needed to know the shots would go in, and the only way he could know that 100% was if he was putting them in there.
