8-42 for two nights.......eight for forty-two!........I have watched NBA ball for twenty eight years, and I have never seen even a scrub, much less the (wrongly) annointed "King" of the NBA, pull such a choke job.  And Ieven LIKE James, but dayum.......he cost them Game 1 by bricking the most wide open layup he has probably EVER had in his career, then lost the game tonight by continuing to chuck up shot after shot when it was obvious he couldn't hit the broad side Perkins' a$$.....

Maybe...MAYBE..the Cavs sneak one at home, but this is a five-gamer at best.  The Cavs have no heart for this series after tonight.

Sorry but that is just ridiculous.  James is the easy target, but this team is pathetic.  Management should be ashamed of the supporting cast they put out there.  Plain and simple Lebron is not a natural shooter.  He would rather get you a wide open shot than shoot himself.... especially when he penetrates into triple coverage.  Boston just has too many weapons.  Cleveland doesn't have one player, not one, that can create their own shot.  Looks like dead man walkin here.

You're ridiculous if you believe any of that, but I will agree on one thing: Lebron isn't a natural shooter, which makes his insistence on throwing up bad shot after bad all the worse.  Even guys who aren't natural shooters.....even the King himself!....can hit layups.  Whoops!  Apparently no they can't.

Management should be ashamed of that team?  Why?  Because James bitched about Gooden giving him no help against guys on the defensive end, so they went and got him Wallace?  Because James bitched about Snow, Jones or anyone else they put out there to either get him the ball or draw defenses out, opening up the lanes for him, so they went out and got him West and Wally?  They have given him everything he demanded, so the pressure was on HIM to put up or shut up, and he needs to shut up, because he isn't walking the walk.  Therefore you can't talk the talk.

And calling the team pathetic?  Is this coming from a Cavs fan, or just a James fan, because I remember no later than Tuesday night a bunch of smack coming from cavs followers because they only lost by two.

James right now is the guy they have locked up and throw tomatoes at. Yet the announcers said he was being selfless, and saying he is as much of a team player as KG. Yeah right. The only time James passes is when he is in a no shot situation. Which is alot because he is overrated and the Celtics prey upon him. Even in Cleveland he will probably be shut down. The thing that gets me is even when he gets a call he complains about the way it was called. And the constant checking for blood everywhere. Pierce bumped him in the arm and he had to check and rub it. Come on James be a man. I've seen old ladys take harder hits and complain less. He is a joke. And to think that he was once compared to the greatest player ever, Jordan? I guess it looks like what I've said all along is right, not to brag, that when you pressure James he can't perform and the Cavs that James wanted because he wasn't getting enough help can't perform.

Easy my man, no need to turn to personal attacks.  I promise you this...West, Wally, and Wallace is not the help he was calling for.  They gave up garbage for garbage.  At least Wally can hit an open j.  This isn't coming from a Cavs fan...just a basketball fan.  I just think Lebron is one of the class acts of league and doesn't deserve the bashing he is getting.

I disagree that Lebron is a class act. On and off the court. Off the court there was the drunk driving incident. On the court he is constantly complaining. I am not looking to bash him as much as just tell the truth. It wouldn't be so bad if he didn't compain about the help then choke in the playoffs. And if he didn't constantly whine about being hurt. He wants to be taken seriously then he needs to stop acting like every time he is touched he is hurt. This is not a bash it is just a common thought that I have thought and heard by many people. Like I said I did not intend to bash James.

It was a speeding ticket, not DUI.

My bad, but still he was going like 100 like 65. Still pretty bad. And I guess that fact that he was sober when the cop asked him if he would do it again and he said probably is even worse.

"Maybe...MAYBE..the Cavs sneak one at home, but this is a five-gamer at best.  The Cavs have no heart for this series after tonight"

I wonder what your prediction for the Hawks series was after the C's one the first two by a combined 42 points.  I'm guessing a 4 game sweep.

Let's see Boston win one game on the road in these playoffs before we start calling the time of death on this series.

 

By the way, I see from your profile that you are a Dodgers, Cowboys, and Celtics fan... bandwagon much?

Huge LeBron James fan here... and I'm also a die-hard lifetime Celtics fan.

Let's see how he plays in Cleveland before bashing the guy. Although I will say that the missed lay-up that could have given the Cavs a chance to win the game was pretty bad.

Let's be honest with ourselves. LeBron is what? 23? If he wasn't as athletically gifted and talented as he is, he would be a 2nd year Pro right now if he played College ball for four years.

He still has plenty of time to develop into a better player than he is right now... only time will t
