LEBRON and CAVS CHOKE !!!!

[Thin Lizzy]

Chicago, meanwhile, has a ready-made contender if he goes there and teams with Deng and Noah up front with Derrick Rose running the point and Hinrich as the go-to guy when they need a 3.  

Yeah, but in Chicago he has to play in the shadow left by Jordan and his six titles. If he wins one championship in NY, he'll be a God.

Hell never go to Chicago...UNLESS Phil goes back.

warren buffett, a man who still lives in the family home, said his legacy is greater if he stays home and wins several titles in cleveland.  he has more than enough around him in cleveland.  can he carry a team full of yahoos like jordan?   the problem is lebron is an athlete...not necessarily an excellent basketball player in the mode of kobe.

either he listen to warren or do the bonehead baller move to ny?  

f##k him.  stay in cleveland.  too damn ugly to be on tv 24-7.  

Fuck warren buffet! you gives two fucks about him, billions of dollars still cant buy a championship ring, can you imagine lebron at the end of his career with no ring? he would contemplate suicide, lebron needs to make decisions for lebron, fuck everyone else, you think michael jordan gave a fuck about anyone else but himself.

For life of me i dont know why lebron asked for shaq, mo williams and antwan jamison, the latter 2 are perennial losers, shaqs 38-39 and is best suited for a backup role.

the cavs need to create a miracle to keep lebron, i never been to cleveland but i hear its fucken disgusting, just as disgusting as Coach mike brown offensive plays

[Pollux]

LeGone James. 

[Quickerblade]

LeGone James. 

hahahahaah.

Poor guy, he got a triple double and gets hammered by everyone, his surrounding cast of shaq, mo williams and jamison is not worthy of a ring, he will need another all star to win a ring, like durant, rose, or else this guy will end up like karl malone, ewing and barkely, great stat careers but not winners, these guys get forgotten quickly..

[SaltShaker]

Not his fault.  Lebron needs real players around him, you can only do so much...Hopefully he leaves Cleveland...aka the mistake by the lake.

Come on dude, assuming what your saying is true,lets says Lebron is absolutely the king of basketball, and he made the cavs have the best record in NBA ALL BY HIMSELF with no players supporting him.... then the answer is simple, he choked in the big games, like he has been doing for the past 7 years... he's king of meaningless wins

to much pressure on lebron i think, he did get the nba's best record by himself, hence MVP.
I dont think he choked, there coach did, jamison had 5 points, no help on defense, mo williams is a loser, delonte west 3 points...how can u win with that.

missed by a mile what i said...didnt you?

if it takes his bud warren to keep him in cleveland....so i dont have to watch this douche on TV 24/7 in NY...then warren should do his billion dollar magic le bruised ego.

Needed more help, they were outplayed and out hustled on defense, turned over the ball way too much (especially James)....Shaq was utterly useless and was better off on the bench

Bottom line is, the Celtics just looked like they wanted to win, while the Cavs looked to content to go home...

Hey G thang, sorry i didnt mean to quote you, our posts are unrelated.

anyway back to the topic.

Lebron did not choke, they just flatout stopped playing, it was sickening, i feel bad for the cavs owner who spents 25million on a training facility and over $25M in luxury tax cause there over the cap and not to mention 100M in payroll...and has nothing to show for it

Cavs gave up, the coach did too, they doubled james and the rest failed, shaq needs to play in europe, his pathetic.

james needs another great player, his with a bunch of scrubs now

Gotta agree.  I can understand missing shots, but hustle never has a 'slump', if you want to win.

And the fact that the Cavs just quit when the game was still within reach was just sickening.  I'm not a fan of either team, but as a basketball fan, I hated seeing that.

[240 is Back]

they annointed him before he won a damn thing.

it'll be cool to see him playing alongside Parker or Wade next year... I can't stomach many nba regular season games anymore, but that I would watch

[CalvinH]

x2!

Jordan didn't start winning championships until his 7th year in the NBA. Was he a choker those previous six years?

Boston was simply the more complete team.

James will leave Cleveland and Ohio will be in the shitter for many years to come.....

[El Diablo Blanco]

James is a POS.  He has the same wants as Jamarcus Russell except James was able to harness his talent and use it where Russell couldn't.  They both want to be celebrities and love that shit more than the game.  Lebron is not likeable like Jordan was.  Jordan had a great personality and white about him.  Lebron comes off as a greedy fuck who puts money and fame above all else.  Maybe one day he'll learn but right now he is too concerned about making money.

NJ might be a great fit.  They have a $20 billion dollar owner, the first pick, some young talent and the money to sign two free agents and in 2 years will be in brooklyn.  The stars are lines up for Lebron to go there.

Lebron and John Wall would make a good team. Lebron has stated that he wants to be a Billionaire.

I bet that Russian that owns the nets would pay lebron in barrels of oil to get him.  Give him a piece of the business and pay him max salary.  NJ ha the money right now to get Lebron and Bosh, draft wall, they have Lopez at center.  Solid fucking team right there and in two years playing in the Frank Gehry designed stadium in Brooklyn.

Jordan never lost a playoff game to a team with with an equal or lower seed, Jordan never flaked out of a whole playoff series, Jordan never got swept in the finals or lost in the finals.Jordan never lost when his team had the best record in the NBA, especially not 2 years in a row.Hope this helps.

[bigmikecox]

He quit on me, his team and the City of Cleveland. This loss is as bad as losing game 7 to the Marlins

X2 Jordan willed the less talented players on his team to bring their best on the court....This is something Lebron can't do

[CT_Muscle]

NYC is a pain-in-the-ass for pro athletes who have to play at MSG.  They would also have to bring in at least two other bigtime players - Bosh plus who? - to get remotely close to title contention.

New Jersey is getting the new arena, but only has 'hey, we're close to NYC' to offer.

Chicago, meanwhile, has a ready-made contender if he goes there and teams with Deng and Noah up front with Derrick Rose running the point and Hinrich as the go-to guy when they need a 3.  

I called 'bullshit' the moment one of the TBS guys said that this Cavs team was 'built to win in the playoffs', because they cited Shaq and Jamison as the reasons for that.  Shaq's intimidation factor has clearly dwindled and Jamison has never been a game-changer nor was he even a legit scoring threat this post-season.  

Needless to say, in order for this to qualify as a 'choke', the Cavs would either need to have been the superior team or they would've had to have a 3-1 lead in the series and lost it.  

As of March 2009, the Nets are committed to moving to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn for the 2011–12 NBA season

Shaq was there to go against Dwight Howard. We destroyed Orland this season. We had nobody to match up with KG. Andy played good, but he is like Rodman, no offense.
Rumor is Lebron is going to ask Calipari to come to Cleveland. Bad move. We need to dump Shaq and hope Amare opts out. Trade Mo Williams. I'd take a Michael Redd with bad knees over a Mo that only shows up one time. Delonte should have been starting the entire series

[johnnynoname]

Lebron is to sensitive to go to New York, the media there will massacre him, the fans there will boo him worse then the cavs fan..he should go to Chicago

are you implying that Lebron will be like Randy Johnson when he came to NY?
