nobody wants him to pass up open jumpers but go to the hole. If your unstoppable then why not create better shots is all we are saying. He was great all season at this but he didn't even try in the 2nd half. Oh and GM was kinda a big game afaik.

thats what is so upsetting about this. i mean, i woulda argued to the death the greatness of lebrons mental makeup. all his wim stuff used to piss me off so much. like literally make me shaking angry.

but, after last night, i am completely on the other side. i cant help but thinking i was way wrong.

Yes, layups, dunks, FTs, and wide open 3s for teammates that all result from attacking the lane are way, way, way better than nothing but 20 foot jumpers. DUCY?

Mixing some Js into his game is fine, but when that is his entire game at such a critical juncture that tells me he just does not give a ****. Any player in the game can just sit there and chuck up open long twos, that is not what makes Labron special.

yeah i was going to say something about it too.

duke players never leave after 1year because they are never good enough, if they were they probably would

Is this a level? Of course the Celtics want Lebron taking 20 foot jumpers when he has missed ten of them on the night. They were intentionally giving him these shots. First you say "Well he shot 12 FTs" and then when someone points out he never went to the paint in the 2nd half you say "You want him to pass up 20 ft jumpers?". Make up your mind dude!

So, who's pumped for Game 6? I'm gonna be playing the SCOOP 8-game stuff, but I'm probably going to have to get out of my office and bring my laptop down in front of the computer for game time. This is the first game all year where going into it, you know that there's going to be a huge shift in the landscape as to who's actually likely to win the title no matter what. I mean, yeah Game 5 was huge, but no one really was giving the Celtics much of a chance before tip so that was different. This is basically a 50/50 game where either the Cavs go back to being co-favorites to win it all or they're knocked out of the playoffs for good. Huge game tonight.

I'm really hoping LeBron can lead the Cavs to victory, but I've kinda got a nagging feeling that he's gonna go for like 37/9/8 and the Celtics will still win it 99-98 on a last second shot or something.

i don't see cavs winning at all today. boston will crush the cavs then get crushed by the magic and the magic will get crushed by the lakers who crush the suns. that's about it.

they don't? maggette left early. was deng a 1 and doner too?

i'm pretty young. i don't remember maggette or deng at duke. the point however is that coach k players tend to stay for longer than coach cal players. this is pretty indisputable.

this is true since the 1 and done rule has been implemented Cal has feasted on getting those players and has had success doing it.

one and doners the last 10 years:

Wagner
Shawne Williams
Rose
Evans
Wall
Orton
Cousins

That's gotta more than any coach in America.

Yeah Deng was a 1 and doner.

Coach K never had anyone leave early then in 99 Brand, Avery and Magette all left.

But yeah for the most part guys have been in for the long haul under coach K

I was just telling my buddy that I haven't been this is probably the most excited I can ever remember being for an NBA game. I love the NBA and have followed it close for years but this one is on a different level. This game is so huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge. Cant wait.

Coach K feeds them BS about an education. A smart person takes the millions when they are there for the taking.

ship, rinse, repeat

Victorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

i am dreading the prospect of this game.

i dont bet on sports.

pretty sure this is false

not sure if this has been said because i havent followed this thread but i just want to point out the difference here between lebron and kobe is that if kobe went 3 for 14, he would have put up at least another 15 shots to make sure he was having an off night.

that being said,this may be the last time cleveland fans ever get to see lebron in their jersey again.how scary is that?

FYP

All this really means is he's recruiting the best players

tomorrow morning's gonna be ROUGH.

asked to use my last 4 hours of comp time tomorrow morning, principal denied me because 2 people (ZOMG) already are using personal time.

i said, 'okaay, but you better have donuts ready'

that said, biggest game i can remember. **** if it's thursday or not, just got back with 16oz 6-pack number 2, and was kicking myself for not getting an extra 24oz lol

it also means WWW and Nike have got a ton of influence on most of these kids.
