Lebron, quietly puts all that shit in his head and keeps it for extra motivation you can bet on that. This should be a must see game Lebron should have a game for the record books.

what cramping in two consecutive games?

The way you quoted this post makes it almost incomprehensible. All I'm going to say is that constantly using the word "myself" instead of "me" is fucking weird. Occasionally, no big deal. Almost every time, weird.

Like I said, I'm trying not to read too much into it. A cynic might say that he does it for one of two reasons. A poor High School level education or an inflated ego. I'm not saying that I think that is what's driving this but I can't help but wonder what the root of it is. This is not how English is commonly spoken in the United States.

The more I think about it, his mama named him Lebron which I think is some kind of fucked up french Ebonics word. It's all starting to make sense now.

ok, how about this:

Quote

. Such uses almost always occur when the speaker or writer is referring to himself or herself as an object of discourse rather than as a participant in discourse. The other reflexive personal pronouns are similarly but less frequently used in the same circumstances. Critics have frowned on these uses since about the turn of the century, probably unaware that they serve a definite purpose. Users themselves are as unaware as the critics—they simply follow their instincts. These uses are standard.

A common way that Lebron uses the word myself is illustrated here.

"That was a big game for myself"

He's talking about the significance that a particular game has for him as an individual. He's not referring to himself as an object of discourse. I understand the info you highlighted in bold but I doubt that Lebron knows that much less purposely uses the word in that context. Regardless, it's weird.

Game 2 is huge for the Spurs. Remember, the Pacers also won game 1 by double digits.

We all know how that turned out

You can't lose at home and expect to beat Miami.

Ronnie... I am NO Heat hater. I am NO James hater. I want them to win. I want him to win. IF they do lose though because of his health... I would be happy to see Duncan get his fifth title... especially so he could rub that shit in kobes smug face

102 degrees and they let the game go on.

105 degrees, do they stop the game? 110 degrees? Shady as shit.

Steve, none of my comments are directed towards you! They are towards everyone for no good reason root for Lebron and the Heat to fail. I have loads of respect for the Spurs, they are a class organization, just like the Heat.

They were early. But, they continue to hurt themselves with silly turnovers & ill advised shots.

Spurs playing that awesome and managed to lead by zero at halftime?

gmflex · « **Reply #338 on:** June 08, 2014, 06:30:22 PM »

Spurs will finish the heat tonight

Man of Steel · « **Reply #339 on:** June 08, 2014, 06:51:49 PM »

Good game. ...both look good. ....spurs are weak in the 3rd and the heat are strong.

The 4th the spurs will pull away and win. Not by a ton but 5 or 6.

240 is Back · « **Reply #340 on:** June 08, 2014, 06:54:13 PM »

Spurs up by -5.

hp31 · « **Reply #341 on:** June 08, 2014, 06:55:17 PM »

LeBron is on some serious fire right now.

hp31 · « **Reply #342 on:** June 08, 2014, 06:58:27 PM »

No matter how good either team is playing right now( both are playing very good ), neither can seem to pull away.

Man of Steel · « **Reply #343 on:** June 08, 2014, 07:00:33 PM »

Heat commanding Q3 lead of -1

240 is Back · « **Reply #344 on:** June 08, 2014, 07:07:23 PM »

Heat look better than I expected. They haven't kicked it into gear yet. SA is playing outstanding. And MIA is up by negative -2.

Man of Steel · « **Reply #345 on:** June 08, 2014, 07:18:53 PM »

These two teams are amazing LOL....both look calm yet aggressive.

Don't see Chalmers flagrant.

240 is Back · « **Reply #346 on:** June 08, 2014, 07:23:11 PM »

SA misses 4 straight free throws.

Maybe they have the heart of shaquille at the charity stripe.

I didn't realize how much better MIA was at the one-on-one game. SA is way better "teamwork" team. Very cool to see this contrast.

Lebron is pissed. you just KNOW the NBA wants to give him a last minute game winner for his "legacy". Start all the headlines tomorrow with "King James last minute heroics".

hp31 · « **Reply #347 on:** June 08, 2014, 07:25:19 PM »

Spurs are killing themselves with those missed free throws.

240 is Back · « **Reply #348 on:** June 08, 2014, 07:30:22 PM »

Ginobli taking 30-foot 3-pointers as shot clock expires.... MIAMI TURNING ON THE DEFENSE>

They only do this for about 5-6 minutes a game lol.

hp31 · « **Reply #349 on:** June 08, 2014, 07:47:00 PM »

Spurs are going to be kicking themselves tonight. They blew a golden opportunity to go up 2-0.
