The problem is the Cavs are still a one man show.
This just doesn't work in the playoffs. You need to play as a team.
you think maybe he's played poorly because he's been carrying his team for the first 3 quarters? huh?
i may not like Lebron, but give him his due credit and don't be a .

This looks exactly like when Duncan had to single-handedly carry the '02 Spurs against the Lakers. LeBron looked out of gas the whole fourth quarter.
thats why it'll be lbj's "perfect" script.overcoming adversity and bring his team to the promise land .... NOT!
i dont mind orlando advancing to the finals, but i'm just not ready to count the cavs out until the nba decides that they can't milk them any longer.
Yes I would. But, LeBron made several turnovers late in the fourth quarter that cost his team. He also missed a few free throws. His play kept the Cavs close enough to win the game, but at the same time, his careless play in the fourth quarter also cost his team.
Would you say you're attracted to my penis?
I don't count any team out until they're finished, just wanted to refute that it would be an easy path for thethats why it'll be lbj's "perfect" script.

So the commissioner's and the network's darlings are very near elimination. No Bryant or James in the Finals. Aw, doesn't that just break your goddamned heart? How could this be? More games need to be fixed so that the powers that be can have their dream matchup. Oh wait, the league can slap a seventh technical on Dwight Thursday night then, they can suspend him for a sixth game. Then the Cavaliers and the Kingman can win a seventh game in dramatic fashion. Yeah, that's what will happen.
Lebron is a phenomenal player, probably the best player in the league IMHO.
He does not need to be propped up like this, his stats speak for themselves. What the NBA is doing in shoving him down our ing throats is disgraceful.
lebron has had some bad turnovers and missed free throws in recent games but the dudes gassed. he's carrying his team in every aspect and if it wasnt for him it would have already been a sweep.
hes averaging 42 in the series and hasnt had the benefit of clutch plays from his teammates like kobe has.
if any type of hype should stop in this series it should be that ridiculous mo williams hype. guy talks all series and is shooting like 30%
he may end up like Chamberlain. a statistical monster who ends up with only a couple of rings.
i kinda agree with you, magic is definitely playing at a higher level now, but my point is just, winning 2 of the 3 at home wont really be that hard, and just get 1 on the road would make lbj, "king" again, and they will make this look like it was an insurmountable feat, when in reality, its doable because instead of winning 2 on the road, they would just need to "steal" 1.
as for the nuggs, i dont know how they'll react, lakers clearly want to blow the nuggs out tomorrow after what happened in game 4, be prepared for foul and FT discrepancy tomorrow. but i'm just happy that the nuggets arent backing down and compared to last year, we arent rolling over and dying as what others initially thought.
If your bigs in the paint come out aggressive without committing silly fouls and make it hard for Gasol, Bynum and Odom, the Nuggets have a good shot. The Nuggets need to stay focused if the Lakers jump out to a quick lead. Billups and Karl should help calm the rest of the team down and make sure they give 110% for the full 48 minutes. I think the whole country would like to see 2 new teams in the NBA Finals for a change.
Good luck tomorrow night.

Why do you and others assume that James will win multiple Championships? Just because he is a very good individual player? It doesn't work that way in the playoffs. If and until the Cavaliers organization surround James with the proper talent he will more likely end up as a Karl Malone or Charles Barkley. Great careers but no rings.
son no lie I must give the cuck his props ... Ghazi has been dropping HOT FIYA in this thread!....
p.s. I don't know WTF has gotten into him (or his wife) tonight.
That's the same problem the Lakers have...a one man show.
you know you're being a little ridiculous saying Lebron is a "very good individual player", right? when you factor in his scoring (both in the paint and on the perimeter), his assists, his rebounds, his defense, his blocks and his leadership, he's clearly one of the greatest individual players to ever play the game.
all that being said, i've hated the hype on him since he was in high school. i've hated the way he was called King James before he ever won anything. i hate that he has "Chosen One" tattooed across his back. i hate his chalk-dust antics and a lot of his on-court self-congratulation.
part of me wants him to never win a championship. the other part thinks that any baller with his skill and passion for the game should retire with at the very least one ring.
Not to the same extent as the Cavs though.
The Lakers actually have a real offense that is equal opportunity. They are at their best when Kobe shoots less than 20 shots a game.
so is he human or not
Two thoughts I have on this post:
1) I agree about Lebron's help from the refs....falling on his own and the refs calling that a foul was beyond ridiculous.
2) More people would probably agree with you on the "travesty in officiating" if you weren't:
a) A Laker fan
b) blind to the fact that Kobe benefits from these officiating travesties as well. He had to have been going off on all three refs in Game 4 for well over a minute, and all that happened was that one of the refs told him to shut up. Meanwhile, Luke Walton pleads his case in a much less demonstrative manner for about 10 seconds or so and gets T'd up by Salvatore. Any other player with the exceptions of Kobe, Lebron, and all of the Boston Celtics would have been tossed had he gone on a similar tirade.
This is what NBA and ESPn does. They hype and hype hype and overrate certain players to create this fake image the NBA has. Fans all believe it and then they are first to complain about it when it does not come true. Very silly.
Chris Paul
Dwight Howard
Steve Nash
Dirk Nowitzki
Dywane Wade
Kobe Bryant
LeBron James
Every one of them is of course very overrated. But it so funny how fans complain about it. But they always believe it whenever subject of "greatness of NBA" comes up. They are all "gods of basketball" then.

The two best offenses (team-wise) in the playoffs have been the Nuggets and Magic. LA has struggled since the playoffs began. The whole team needs IV's before tomorrow night's game.
Where can I see pics of his wife?
What hype?
He is living up to all expectations over and over and over and over again.
Making those 2 free throws was huge and did you miss yet another 3 that was impossible for a mortal to hit?
I think you missed the SEVEN turn overs at the end of the forth and OT, the missed FT the possession before he made the two to send it to OT, he makes both of those FT's they win the game by a point. He also airballed a wide open 3 right before he made that lucky three too.
