The Official 2010 NBA Playoffs Thread

[Mr Nobody]

He's married so all he talks about is religeon and family stuff!    I was hoping he's hook me up with Tennessee and tx  gals!  But just to be chatting with him is cool.   At tight ends he's one of the best!

Yea he is a good player congrats on talking to him.

[Dos Equis]

like who? typically a team with the best record in the league 2 years in a row makes the finals at least once

who else hasn't?

E

I don't know about a team with the best record in the league (which isn't what you initially said), but I remember Seattle killing people during the regular season back in the (90s) and losing in the first round.  Dallas has twice been a very high seed and tanked in the playoffs.  The Suns had some terrific regular season play and lost to the Spurs, like every year.

Anyone remember this?  Sort of unfair to place so much pressure on this kid so early.

he never really shied away from the attention though.

hahahaha hes doing that little sideline dance all the way home 

yea i know hater bla bla bla 

[UPINTHEMGUTS]

Yeah, Lebron and his teammates love to have a blast on the sideline when things go rosy during a game. But when they lose, they lose when it counts the most. In the playoffs. They tighten up when the pressures rises and ulimately choke.

I always thought they way the Cavaliers behaved during blowout games was pretty pathetic. Bunch of idiots. Ever see the Celtics act like that? Or, how about Jordan's Bulls? How about the Spurs? You know what those players had/have that Lebron doesn't have and likely never will??

Rings.


Look at that video above ^^^^ of Lebron dancing. What a fucking idiot..... Lebron will never win until he matures mentally.

[Earl1972]

yeah that dancing pisses me off

so does this

E

[UPINTHEMGUTS]

Wow. What a fucking dick.

Gotta love youtube.

[Quickerblade]

Lebron may end up like Domonique wilkins, just a hightlight reel.

you need a ring or two to be in Bird, Jordan status.

[UPINTHEMGUTS]

Lebron is a super talent but he needs to learn to be more selfish on the court. 99/100 times he's the best player to step on the court for a game. Therefore, he should try to dominate offensively everytime he plays.

Lebron prides himself on being a great passer. And he is great. But he passes too much. Game 1 of the NBA finals against the Spurs. He elects to pass the ball in the waning seconds? Stupid. The outcome of that game affected the entire series.

Lebron should be averaging 35 points a game, minimum. His assists per game needs to drop down to 5 or 6. And needs to learn to be a stone cold killer on the court, like Jordan and Kobe.

Lebron doesn't want to win. He just wants to make money. Anytime an NBA player quotes himself as saying that he wants to be a billionaire, you can forget about his championship aspirations. Because the money and the endorsements mean more than the ring.

[2ND COMING]

i 99% agree, he needs to be more assertive. I mean cmon. 14 shots? lebron?

btw, its not like he hasnt reached expectations and surpassed them. Hes done all of that. Sans a championship.

Game tonight Lionel Richie "EZ like Sunday morning!"

Wurd. 

I made a prediction when he first came in the league that he would be another Shawn Kemp; a supremely talented player who would eventually wind up with a drug problem.  I've been wrong so far, but now I'm starting to question whether he has a substance abuse problem.

lebron has a substance abuse problem? possible, but highly doubt it, unfortunately for him he has horrible teammates but we also need to remember the celtics played them very well. Everyone forgot the Celtics won a championship 2 seasons ago.

I have no idea if he does, but it wouldn't surprise me.  That could explain his inconsistent play.  Also, if you look at the video I posted earlier, he has really aged the last several years.

Quick I don't really buy the horrible team excuse.  They had the best record in the league.  They beat LA twice.  Boston was better and LeBron didn't show up when it mattered. 

I will say Jamison was pretty bad. 

I'm really rooting for a Boston v. LA Finals.

Yeah but reg.season is different then playoffs, way to much pressure, im sure the other guys just deferred to james, but he deferred to his teammates.

Celtics have finals experience, they manhandled the Cavs

As for james aging, well he must age bad like greg oden, james looks like his 35 and oden looks in his mid 50's

Oden looks like LeBron's father.     I bet Portland would like a do over of that draft.  That poor franchise.  Took Sam Bowie over Jordan and Oden over Durant. 

[Earl1972]

lebron looked 35 when he was 17

[Dos Equis]

lebron looked 35 when he was 17

He had the body of 35 year old.  Not necessarily the face, especially if you compare his face now with several years ago.  Oden had the face of a 50 year old when he came in the league. 

[Mr Nobody]

lebron looked 35 when he was 17

yep 

[Dos Equis]

Wellllll I'd say the Boston series is probably over.

Yep done deal now.
