Is this game as ugly as the box score looks?

Stuck at work.

KT

pretty much, i bet all those NY fans are just salivating over this game

 

[KeithTalent]

Uh. Pretty much. Lebron is working on a triple double of missed FG's, missed FT's, and TO's.

Hahaha. Does he look hurt? I thought he was just playing the whole elbow thing up. :hmm:

I think he has elbow tendonitis from excessive stroking of his second MVP trophy.

Hahaha

No worries for him though, since Durant will be winning it next year.

[Capt Caveman]

Wow, O'Neal with more points than LeBron.

Celts just dominating now.

 

[techforums]

Wow I am shocked. I just can not see the cavs winning the next two the way they're playing tonight. Cavs fans better pray LJ doesn't bolt to NewYork.

 

[BlahBlahYouToo]

I can't stand the officiating when Shaq has the ball. He can push, shove, and full out bull his way to basket without a foul. But if a defender so much as puts a hand on him it's a foul.

Lame.

i agree. it's the ugliest form of basketball there is.

nope, i don't want that arrogant prick on the knicks.
i'll take wade and bosh thank you very much.

 

[TastesLikeChicken]

That was one of the worst games I've ever seen the LeBrons play. You have to wonder if they can come back in Boston after getting so thoroughly abused?

 

[herkulease]

haha. this is what happens when you buy into the hype the media and "experts" spit out.

Lebron as the greatest yet no ring to show for it. Cavs headed the finals forgetting they need to show up and win games.

The lakers last night I knew Phil and Kobe smell blood and with the suns sweeping were gonna put the Jazz out of their misery.

Question for the celtics will be in game 6 who will step up and put the Cavs out of theirs.

I would think it be Paul Pierce, but sometimes he doesn't show that killer mentality.

the last things the celtics want to do is come out flat and give the Cavs any hope at all. They gotta come out firing. Let them hang around and they'll be asking for it.

 

[BlackTigers]

I got a text, while at work:

"Cavs down 23, lebron's a knick next week"

hahahah. wtf cleveland, you better step the fuck up.

 

[BUTCH1]

Wow, can't believe how bad Lebron was shooting, some shots barely clanged off the rim, maybe his elbow really is wore than he's letting on. With the Celts this healthy and this focused I cant see Cleveland coming back against the Celt's "D" in game 6...

 

[JJChicken]

LOL Barkely predicts Cavs to win 4-1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2jQclVVA_g

"If I had any gut whatsoever, I think the Cavs will win 4-0."

Hawks fans won't realize how much they'll miss Joe Johnson until he's gone - they need a new coach, or front office.

In the coaching tit-for-tat strategizing and adjusting that nba coaches make against opponents during a playoff series, Mike Brown proves once again he has no tit.

Now that some Lebron to Chicago rumors are heating up I've been checking on some Chicago boards about what people are saying.

Quite a few people are actually posting that they don't wan't Lebron. That the Bulls would be better off without him.

lololol

That would be the hugest coup in Chicago sports history.

 

[BlackTigers]

lebron would light chicago up, him and noah together, with rose?

championship that year.

 

[vi edit]

Quite a few people are actually posting that they don't wan't Lebron. That the Bulls would be better off without him.

Wonder if he'd conceed the number 23...there's only one name that should be on the back of that Bulls uniform. And it isn't James.

I thought Lebron sent in an application to the NBA to change his number if he needed to next season.

Thats one of the things that initially sparked the Bulls rumors, which had been non-existant.

I could be wrong (I'm too lazy to check right now), but I think Chi is the only team that was a possibility for Lebron to go to that had 23 retired.

 

[BlahBlahYouToo]

you know what?
i hope lebron stays in cleveland and plays with his has beens like shaq and jamison, while NY signs bosh and wade and then carmelo next season.
then they can meet in the conf finals and lose to the knicks every year for the next 10 years.

Any chicago fan that thinks the bulls are better with lebron is not a chicago fan, muchless an nba fan.

Hasn't #23 been retired? If not, iirc it was James that said the league should retire #23, so no doubt he'd concede to another number.

I think he'd have a great relationship with chicago. There's plenty enough respect for him and jordan to go around, and James has the ultimate respect for jordan as well to not 'compete' with his chicago legacy, but create his own history with the city.

The downside is that chicago has no coach, and james isn't going to go from a middle-tier playoff-inept coach like Brown to another one of his inadequate caliber. That, and I don't see him leaving cleveland either.

Well - that's another rumor.

Lebron would hand pick Calipari as "his" Bulls coach.
