If you say so ...most championship teams had soem kind of comback either in game or a series we will see if they dont come out strong next game then i will be worried.
Their main comp L.A have shown no toughness they just lack IT...the hunger and killer drive champs have the lakers just don't seem to have it. They aren't getting up for playoffs games..it was the same against the Jazz.
The Cavs seems so much more motivated, yes the cavs played a weaker team in round one but that doesn't matter you could tell how badly those cavs players wanted it..i don't see it in those Laker players.
L.A will still make the finals on talent alone but just talent won't beat this Cavs team. L.A seem to lack everything a championship winning team has.

"It" is so hard to measure and usually is ascribed to teams AFTER they win a championship.
I will say they are a finesse team though. But finesse has, at times, won championships. Most recent example is the 2006 Mavs, who were offensive minded.
I'm hoping for a Cavs vs. Mavs finals.
And then a curbstomping from LeBron that will make Dwyane Wade look like Devean George.
True, out of the last 10 champions... the only "finesse" team that won a ring was the Mavericks, it's not like Cleveland is as physical or as threatening as last year's Celtics though.
Sweet jesus, I thought it was only lakers fans that acted like the sky was falling...
If the hawks somehow beat Cavs tomorrow, we will have threads like "This is why Cavs will not win the le."
Chillax it's just one game I said Lakers in 5 or 6 looks like 6 but we'll see ...
If the rox get past the lakes, they will have so much confidence (NOT over confidence), and momentum that no one will stop them![]()
that's sadistic. Lebron will average 60 points.
Last year around this time, you probably said something like: "There's no way the Boston Celtics can win the championship because they're not tough enough to win a road game in the first two rounds of the playoffs against lesser teams."
at Rocket fan delusions after stealing one game from the Lakers.
Everything broke right for the Rox tonight. I'd be very, very surprised if the Lake Show shot this poorly for the remainder of the series.
Cavs arent going to win . They wont even get past Orlando.
He said if...
lol I agree
That's just their reflex reaction.
When do you want them to mouth off? When they're down 1-3?
Let them have fun now that they're on top.
The Cavs have played hungry even against a joke of a Detroit team in the first round. I really don't see the Hawks winning tomorrow, mainly because I don't know of one guy on that team who could even slow LeBron.
Against the Jazz, the Lakers would jump out to early leads, coast for a few quarters, let the Jazz get within 5, and wake up in time to finish them off. This worked b/c the Jazz had no team defense.
This will not work against the Rockets. The Rockets have two lockdown defenders who can slow Kobe (Battier did an outstanding job), and they play way better team defense than the Jazz.
I also noticed that the Lakers defense continues to be suspect. Brooks was getting into the lane pretty easily the whole game. The Lakers didn't even begin playing D until about the last 5 minutes of the game.
Neither Bynum or Gasol have ANY chance against Yao. I know Gasol won't play as bad as he did last night offensively the rest of the series (Odom might however, lol), but Yao is more than likely going to continue to abuse Pau and Drew.
I'm sure it will take a near perfect game for the Rockets to win game 2, but to reference the OP, yes, the Cavs have more toughness than the Lakers.
I just think is the Lakers going through the motions.
Lakers are probably the softest le contender since the 2007 Phoenix Suns
People did say a sweep was coming, and in the first game it's impossible already.![]()
All this did was piss off the Lakers.
Kobe and the Kobe-etts in 5.
champions dont lose games in the playoffs.
