Lebron was off the charts tonight.. don't be a hater.
Calling Lebron's performance tonight the greatest he has ever seen at this 'level' at this point in the season.
Wasn't he still on our bench when Duncan closed out the Nets with the near quadruple double? Ass...

yeah, that was damned impressive, and I would probably put that above Tim's performance in 2003
It was but the Pistons D was also a disgrace tonight. MJ had nights like this but he was not a part of the layup line the Pistons handed to Lebron tonight. That D was a joke pure and simple.
Lebron saved his ass from "Did you need to waste your last time out in the fourth" questions, like Horry saved Tim in game 5.
The Pistons had a big gaping hole in the middle.
Not really, here's the thing about performances like Lebron's, if you play like that for the full 48, you don't need overtime.
See:Tim's 03 performance.
you're really reaching here aggie
RIP Hamilton was guarding him... give me a break...
I doubt Brown was thinking about Duncan when he made the comments. This is like every Rock band ever created - the new album is the best work ever no matter how ty it may be.
LBJ's performance was damn good tonight. Seeing as how he's never done this before and was shut down at the end of games 1 and 2 I'm confident he doesn't have another shooting night like this again this year.
Dude, Lebron's game tonight easily passed Duncan's performance by FAR. I would like to explain with my reasons if anybody would like that, but I doubt it.
It's called "Where in the World is Mr. Wallace?"
LeBron is at least thinking twice about driving with both Sheed and Big Ben in the lane.
Leaving Jason Maxiell alone by himself to stop LeBron was a genius move.
Well first of all, I've never seen Duncan beat a team in the playoffs that single-handedly. Nobody else on the Cavs was doing anything. He basically played 1 on 5 and had 25 straight points to end a ECF Game 5 on the road.
Duncan has had better overall games but as far as an individual performance given the cir stances of none of his teammates able to do anything and the stage of a conference Finals, LeBron's performance was better than any performance I've seen in a Spurs uniform.
You've got to be kidding. I'm interested in your rationale. Unless part of your argument includes LeBron dominating both ends of the court for 48 minutes, I can't see it.Dude, Lebron's game tonight easily passed Duncan's performance by FAR.

My thoughts exactly and I just want to add:
2003 Nets < 2007 Pistons
The Spurs were going to do the inevitable by beating the Nets, so Tim's performance wasn't neccassary at all to beat them and the Spurs had a better overall team in 2003 compared to the 2007 Cavs, sure it was great and memorable, but isn't as great as what Lebron did today.
Lebron basically played 2 and half straight quarters of basketball 5 on 1. Me, AHF,Timvp and Kori could have been on the court with Lebron and the Cavs still would have won.
Timvp said the bulk of what I was going to say and I just added some extra thoughts and my own opnions to it. Above.
Duncan has never had to, he's always had his team there. Like I said earlier Duncan gives his the full 48, not like Mr. "Ya'll guys keep it close till the fourth" Lebron. WTF kind of at ude is that. Hey King, here's a thought, if you play like you do in the fourth the entire game, maybe you don't need 2 OTs
Maybe he wouldn't have to play like he did in the 4th if at least one of his teammates showed up to play. Lebron willed that team to a victory, his supporting cast is consisted of a rookie, Daniel Gibson, and one good game from Drew Gooden.
That's absolutely ridiculous. This Pistons team wouldn't have been in the '03 Finals. You think they were going to stop J Kidd at his level in '03?
You contradict yourself here. If he's one on five that means hes dishing to open teammates.
That was the problem, he was going one on one nearly every time. Virtually no traps or doubles to get the ball into someone elses hands.
As for beating another team singlehandedly, it doesn't need to be done solely on the offensive end. Tim destroyed the Nets on both ends of the court from start to finish. You can't compare a one dimensional performance to a multidimensional performance like Timmys.
Its not even close.
Yeah maybe he can score 94 straight points next time and die of exhaustion in the third quarter.
Good plan.
Shouldn't that tell you something about what will happen if they play a team who is actually showing up for the games?
Props to Mike Brown for some heady play calling:
5-out, clearout
5-out, clearout
5-out, clearout
5-out, clearout
5-out, clearout
Timeout
Brown: "LeBron do you want to rest and let Z take the next one?"
James: "A rest on offense? Are you kidding me?"
Brown: "Okay, Okay you win"
5-out, clearout
5-out, clearout
5-out, clearout
5-out, clearout
5-out, clearout
5-out, clearout
5-out, clearout
5-out, clearout
5-out, clearout
I wonder how different the series would have been if Larry Brown and Ben Wallace where still with the Pistons.
How easily you discount the threat posed by 3 ball shooters. you do realize that the Pistons play the same kind of defense on the perimeter that we do right?
They don't leave the shooters. Period. So they spread the floor and took advantage of Bron's hot hand. Kudos.
A great performance it was. But it doesn't hold a candle to Timmys performance, no matter who the opponent is.
