Rafer Alston bringing his A game to the playoffs like he always does. You hate his teardrop during the regular season but he steps it up come playoff time.

[Thunder Dan]

you seriously thought that was funny? I ignored it because it was painfully unfunny and unworthy of a response

[redzero]

I really just want the Cavs to lose because of the hype.

[Indazone]

It took the Red Sox coming back from 3-0 to break their curse in 2004. The Cavs can do it to break Clevelands.

You do realize that this is Cleveland we are talking about not Boston.

Son, are you always this stupid or are you making a special effort today?

[Lebron4MVP]

I still think the Cavs win the series.

Based on what?

The bench is pathetic. The bigs are either old and/or limited.Mo Williams is a vagina and cant back up his smack talk when the pressure is on. Lebron is having to carry this team. Tell me STRETCH how are they going to win this series with these consistent problems? Open your eyes and stop being biased towards the team you picked to win it all. Tell me how are they going to win this series with these obvious problems? Are things going to magically fix itself? I am dying to hear what you have to say.

The Cavs just don't match up with the Magic.

The series isn't over though. They have 1 guaranteed home game they should win, they are capable of beating the Magic on the road if they play their game, and they can win another home game on the road. Nothing has really changed from 2 days ago, the Cavs need to win a road game. As much as the defense looks like crap, it does atleast appear to be better than in games 1 and 2, which leads me to think they can win 2 home games- they just need to get some production from Mo in a game 6 if it gets that far

apparently they don't matchup with any "Elite" team

[SpursDynasty]

The Magic aren't playing out of their minds. They're just beating a team they're supposed to beat. They aren't needing to stretch themselves or BS...they're just going out there and doing what they're supposed to do. If LeBron isn't getting help it's because he isn't passing the ball enough. There is no reason for anyone to have a 42.3 ppg scoring average in any playoff series. No one here is jealous of LeBron or the hype he gets, he doesn't have anything that any team wants. He's not an NBA champion. Again, no jealousy, no trolling, no trash talking, Orlando is simply the better team in this series and there isn't anything LeBron can do about it.

Lets see you supposedly have the best basketball player in existence ever, supposedly the coach of the year, with supposedly the best defense ever. I wonder what happened? Maybe its because the Cavs are overated as by the media and play like the ring is already on thier fingers. Maybe its because instead of focusing on the game you are too busy making stupid camera parodies on the sidelines and excessively celebrating.

Boy I bet you feel pretty stupid coming in here posting like an arrogant en led asshole all season long.

I KNEW this was going to happen. In the post season teams adjust and you won't get by with someone scoring 40% of your points. It HAS to be a team effort, that is why even though the lakers have their lackadaisical play, they can get by without Kobe having to carry so much load

[DeadlyDynasty]

Cavs are still just LeBron James and a gaggle of jumpshooters...LIKE WE'VE SAID ALL ALONG

[ffadicted]

I plead guilty to be anti-cavs (I love when the underdog wins) and anti-LeHype, bu def not anti Lebron.

Anti-Vareflop, Anti-"Guaranteed" Mo.... but not anti-James.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

That was directed towards a boatload of Suns, Spurs, Mavs, and Rockets fans on this board that bask in every Cavs loss and pin it all on Lebron when the guy is scoring 40-something points on like 20 shots.

If that's targetted at me yes I'm happy to see certain players on Cleveland losing but I have not posted a single thing this series blaming the losses on Lebron. I think most would agree he's done all he can.

I feel bad for Cleveland fans. Seeing Mo Williams tease the fans during the regular season and crush their hope during the playoffs gives me deja vu of what Barbosa did in 2007.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Cavs would be a lottery team without him!

Thanks for that burst of genius Ghazi. We all needed someone to say Cleveland is a lottery team without Lebron, none of us would have been able to figure that out on our own. ST appreciates the enlightenment.

Well, it looks like LeBron's stretches of unclutch FT shooting may follow him for the rest of his career and he made some extremely poor decisions down the line (not to mention getting bailed out by the call on Pietrus where the only contact that occurred was him putting his elbow to Mikael's neck). That said, the Cavs still have a chance if the offense wakes up and I think the move to post LeBron up on Pietrus early was a smart won. I still believe the series will either turn out like the Pistons/Lakers series in '04 or the Mavs/Warriors series in '07 (IF Orlando loses game 5).

A bold prediction for Cleveland's offseason either way: Steve Nash to the Cleve Cavs?

[SouthTexasRancher]

I know you are all basking in the thrills of the Cavs' defeat but some of you are pretty stupid


1) Lebron is not overrated, and his hype is clearly validated. He has done just as much, if not more, than what Kobe has done with his supporting cast. He is averaging over 40ppg in this series- say what you want about him, but you can't say he sucks or he is overrated. The guy is a beast.

2) The Magic are playing out of their minds right now, and the Cavs have been playing poorly. For example, Rafer Alston can't miss a 3, while even banking them in at times. Everything if falling their way. Where on the other hand, Mo Williams and Delonte West can't hit anything- neither can Gibson, but that has been all year.

Last night the Magic made 17 3's, shooting over 44%. I don't know any team in the league that can beat a team that makes 17 3's. I know you guys will fail to read this, but the Cavs scoring 100 points last night should have been enough to win- the 3's were the difference.

Now, going forward. Only 1 game has been decisive. If the breaks go the other way like Delonte gets that board last night, or hits the shot in game 1, of they don't shoot 50% from 3, the Cavs could be looking at a 3-1 lead in the series. So while I get that you are all jealous of the attention Lebron gets over your team, and that is why you hate the Cavs, let's call it like it is: The Magic have peaked, and the Cavs are still in it- hanging by a thread, but still in it none the less.

Finally
Lebron is the best player in the NBA
Mo Williams sucks

Uhhhh, Danny Boy, SpursTalk.com has had an overwhelming number of posters who've been pulling for Cleveland because of Mike Brown and Danny Ferry. So don't go grouping the whole group into one pile.

However, I'll admit that Lebron is 'one' of the best players in the NBA. There are several. Here in South Texas and San Antonio we tend to look at greatness through the lens of a trophy/ring. And when you see 4 NBA Championship Trophy's and Banners hanging from the rafters we all look at Tim as one of the Greatest of the Greats. He could average 30+ ppg and 15 rpg if he and Pop wanted but, we would most likely not have all of the trophy's. He saw early on that the most important thing was to be a team player and it has paid off big time.

So I say good luck to your Cavs but, you better get 4 other guys who are willing to give it all they have in helping Lebron. No one player can do it all...and that's a fact, Jack!!!
