Coach's in the NBA have a woody for POP. They want at least Three rings like him.
They are hungry for at least one freakin' ring.
His new AKA- Pinche Pop
Not really.
Spurs are old, they weren't supposed to win this year. It was supposed to be the Mavs or the Suns.
It's ridiculous to argue that somehow the Spurs feel more pressure to beat the Cavs then they did to beat the Nuggets, Suns or Jazz.
King James is just another challenge to overcome. No pressure, just desire to be the Champs.
I could swear I heard Lebron say his "goal" was to be the richest man in the world.
Shows how much he should have went to college, if he thinks basketball is going to make him reach that goal.
Hey clown, past championships are exactly that, the past. They aren't going to win you any games. If the Spurs were to lose, which in reality is not that improbable, it would be a "catastrophe". "How could this young man Lebron James beat such a great team?" Well, it'll happen because the Cavs play better defense than the Spurs, Lebron is going to get Duncan into foul trouble, and the Cavs can play big on the Spurs and dominate the boards. On a side note, Varajao will make Ginbili think twice before coming into the paint and flopping because he will draw plenty of offensive fouls particularly against this team.
There is no pressure on Lebron, he wants this series win and nothing is going to stop him. That's why he has had Michael in his ear telling him all the right things, why Lebron has been in Gibson and other players ears getting them ready "to take on the Big Bad Wolf of the West." This guy is getting his players mentally prepared for the battle and coming in with all the confidence. James is going to dominate this series and completely overshadow Duncan and the dirty Spurs. Just try and stop him, I can't wait to see it, he's going to be making so many plays the Spurs heads are going to start spinning.
Really? Well, if you can prove to me that going to college will earn me over $300 million, I'll buy that argument.
I'm pretty sure that Tim Duncan couldn't care less if his team wins the Finals or not.
Well, it'll happen because the Cavs play better defense than the Spurs, Lebron is going to get Duncan into foul trouble, and the Cavs can play big on the Spurs and dominate the boards.
lol...i mean really....lol....what in the .
Yes, the fingernail chewing, along with Flip's facial tics, were really, really getting to me while I watched the Eastern Conf. series. Now I just have to watch LeBron and his nails.
At first I wasn't really taking this series too seriously, but after that motiviational speech, I just pissed my pants
Look -- I think it's within the realm of reality that the Cavaliers could win this series. But the reasons for that belief have very little to do with any of the b.s. reasons offered in the various threads that Cavs' fans have posted.
Yes, after reading your post for the millionth time, we understand it is over-confident and y for Spurs fans to expect the Spurs to win, when Vegas is having the Spurs as being a 4-1 favourites, while it is perfectly alright for Cavs fans to expect the Cavs to win.
It may not make you over 300 million. But then 300 million is chump change to a lot of guys that did go to college.
My point was he is not ever going to be the richest man in the world playing basketball.
, even Mark Cuban could buy and sell James 10 times over, and even he probably doesn't make the richest top 50.
I don't see how Varejao (can anyone from Cleveland spell his name right?!?) is considered that great when he shoots 53% FT! Manu will find a way to score, don't worry about that.
Wrong. This is Lebrons biggest series ever, and he's expected to carry the team. He will carry the wieght of the world on his shoulders.
That said, he will score 30-40 pts a game. But unless some other Cav can consistently score 20+ points, the Cavs will lose.
Unlike Detroit, Lebron cannot beat the Spurs by himself.
LOLAt first I wasn't really taking this series too seriously, but after that motiviational speech, I just pissed my pants
I doubt it.
The Nuggets won Game 1, see how that series turned out.
I thought Mark Cuban didn't go to college either?
I'm sure Cleveland is all abuzz with the news that NBA League Pass will finally be available there for the 2007-08 season.
The cavs are gonna win game 1 209 to 10 and the rest of the series will be canceled because the spurs will be too scared to play anymore -- Lebron will average 150 pts and have 49 assists with 80 rebounds.
The spurs will just run in fear each time lebron gets the hand off at the top of the key...because they will not know what in the to do. Eventually the fans will have to come down and hang on lebrons legs to try and keep him from flying off the earth completely.
Popovich will pass out the koolaid to end it all sometime around halftime, because it will be alot easier than having their heads truly explode in amazement.
wow...i cant fathom how this will play out on TV. The cavaliers will then go on and win the MLB penant just because they are that bad ass. Lebron will hit a home run that travels clear around the earth twice, while he is waiting on it to finish traveling, he will go to france to smash the french open, and take that le, only to be back in time to score the winning run in the world series.
this team is just ing amazing...
It doesnt stop there.
We should start a "LeBron is so good..." thread.
But evidently, a 2-0 regular season record will.
Yes Nostradumbass, please reveal more of the future for me.
Haven't you heard? Players flop on D.
I just talked to my team that we are going to win that $6 billion deal from the client, with a 250% profit margin, because there is no pressure on me, I want that deal and nothing is going to stop me. That's why he has had Warren Buffet in my ear telling me all the right things, why I have been in Larry and other team members' ears getting them ready "to take on the Big Bad Wolf of the compe ion." I am getting my team members mentally prepared for the battle and coming in with all the confidence. I am going to dominate this pitch and completely overshadow the dirty compe ion. Just try and stop me, some idiotic poster on some business board can't wait to see it, I'm going to be making so much money the compe ion's head is going to start spinning.
This just in...
Lebron signs a 50 year contract to play for the browns in the NFL. For the first time in history a player will act as both quarterback and wide reciever.
The browns are now odds on favorites to win the superbowl untill the year 2040. By then lebron will be nearing 55 years old, and could start to slow down a bit, possibly reducing his playing time to quarter back only.
more on this story as it surfaces.
Great idea.We should start a "LeBron is so good..." thread.
Plenty of good points. However, one thing I need to disagree with you on is that Lebron did not beat Detroit by himself, he carried the offense at times, most notably Game 5, however he could not have gotten here without this team playing lockdown defense, they played good defense all playoffs but they turned the dial way up against Detroit, they absolutely smothered those shooters that the Pistons have.
The Spurs have a trio in Duncan, Parker and Ginobili who are capable of putting up alot of points and controlling games. However, after shutting down Chauncey Billups, who if I am not incorrect was near the top of the league in assist-turnover ratio among PG's, I am confident that the Cavs defense can hold Ginobili and Parker well below their season averages.
Duncan is the guy that worries me, however I think the Cavs and especially Lebron can do enough to get him in foul trouble and negate his impact on the game. With Duncan on the court, edge goes to SA, if Cleveland can get him out of there though I definately think Cavs have the edge. Lebron could take it to the hole and take Duncan to school scoring, what worries me is that Cleveland has outrebounded all of their opponents decisively, I still think they will outrebound San Antonio and that will allow them to control some of these games, however if they get Duncan out I think their edge in the paint will be a pretty big edge.
On a side note, San Antonio's plan to single-cover Lebron with Bowen will last about 5 minutes into Game 1 before Cleveland goes on a big run, SA should be doubling Lebron with Bowen and Ginobili/Parker at all times, Detroit threw all kinds of defenses at Lebron and he just seemed to break through them all. Bowen has good defensive skills but he is older and it wouldn't hurt for him to get some help from a small guy with better speed. Nobody in the league can single-cover James, he might score every time down the court if you give him that. Put Bowen on him and Ginobili, Manu knows how to flop and he could maybe draw Lebron into some offensive fouls, depending on how the officiating is.
The Spurs might be able to live with LeBron scoring 40, depending on how many shots it takes to get there, and whether they can shut down his teammates in the meantime.
