Lebron James and the Cavs

are so cohesive its ridiculous. Its also fun to watch how his teammates enjoy playing with him, unlike Kobe and MJ's teammates who seem more interested in not getting that icy stare.

Twice today I heard on sports talk radio, both here and in Philly, how the hosts (mac & the guy from WIP) don't think that Lebron is all that exciting or great. I just don't get it. The more I watch him play the more I am convinced he has the opportunity to be the best ever. MJ might've been more outwardly competitive, but he's got MJ/Kobe's skill in Karl Malone's body with Magic's passing ability. Really hope that we get to see an Lakers/Cavs final.

 

I don't watch alot of NBA games, but from what I've seen of Lebron he is the best since Jordon for putting the team on his back and willing his team to a win.....I'll give him that attribute over Kobe Bryant. Let the debate begin...

 

Kobe's the better outside shooter, and a better clutch shooter, though Lebron has improved that aspect of his game. He's no longer a liability on the free throw line.

Lebron is a better and more willing passer, a more natural playmaker for his team. Kobe is surrounded by more talent, more guys who can get their own shot or post up. Lebron has Williams and a bunch of jumpshooters.

Still, Kobe looks to have a harder road. Atlanta shouldn't be a problem for the Cavs, I'm not a believer in Orlando, and the depleted Celtics are running on fumes.

Meanwhile, for Kobe to hold up his end of the bargain, the Lake show has to win back home court from a tough Rockets team, and then probably beat the hottest team in playoffs right now, the Nuggets.

 

any chance for the Cavs to do the fo fo fo fo?

 

Fuck Kobe. Cavs in 5

 

I can't give the Cavs any love yet because they have yet to be tested. Orlando will give them some trouble but they should win in 6 games. Lebron is a great player but if I had to bet one one player making a play in the clutch it would be Kobe.

 

what a shot by Lebron

 

Amazing shot.

 

wow. some cavs talk.

i've been following them for years.

lots of people were really concerned about orlando -- they match up really well against the cavs. i was watching the boston/orlando series hoping the boston would win cuz they are an easy matchup.

that shot was amazing, but the cavs have some really problems going forward. i mean, a 25 foot last second 3 to avoid going 0-2 on your home court where you only lost 1 game all year (okay, 2 but that last game was a give away)... that's can't be a good feeling.

 

The Cavs are one miracle shot away from 0-3.

Too bad, I really don't think the Magic have the guns to beat LA.
