And
Cheers guys. I'm a little nervous because they have the same youthful exuberance as we do, but I think with them not having Kyrie and Howard we should have the edge where the vets are concerned. No doubt though this is just the beginning of a major battle between the two teams that is gonna last a fair few years as both have good young talent on their respective rosters. Whoever gets through this round will have invaluable experience going forward. |

Lebronies remind me so much of the Alexsexuals it is scary.

This isn't a very good team around James for sure. That's part of the problem of their relationship though. He may just be too powerful in Cleveland for the relationship to ever work. They bend over backward to appease him and keep him there because they're so afraid he'll leave, and he has all the power. In the process they've tried too hard to make him happy with personnel moves, coaches... and most of it hasn't worked. They need a strong GM or someone like Pat Riley in the organization who can do his own thing and can tell LeBron no. Of course LeBron left Miami too, so who knows if that'd work either.
Even though it eventually caved in because of all the egos, that's one advantage Jordan had over LeBron. Jordan had a GM who wouldn't take crap and a coach who knew how to deal with personalities and wouldn't be intimidated by someone like Jordan or LeBron. |

LeBron must be tanking games to pad his playoff stat records.

Even though the Pacers have come back before, I don't see it this game. They've just been too flat that even Tristan Thompson is dominating.

Love the comparisons, though one thing the Lebronies almost never bring up is that the East has been by far the weaker conference during LeBrons career while during Jordan's career the East was quite strong, stronger than the West.

The funny thing is that even if the Cavs lose this game (they almost certainly won't), I still win as the Raptors likely make the Finals instead and LeBron gets to go somewhere next year where they might actually have a chance to compete with the Warriors.

This guy is so much better than anybody who ever played this game. What a privilege it is to watch him play at this level still.

He really isn't. Jordan and Chamberlin were arguably both better. Did you every see them play? Or do you just favor LeBron because he's of your generation?
