    Not that I don't disagree with this, but I would like that 6th man to be a big like Meyers honestly. :)

    I rather gave a person that can create for himself, Meyers isn't there yet.

    I know. That's why I don't disagree about it probably being CJ. But IF it were Meyers dominating the paint with rebounds and putting up 15-18 pts in post ups and 3pt shooting. All the while being a defensive wall on the opponent's main big? I think the team as a whole would benefit from that more. You put that with CJ running the second unit and a healthy starting lineup all year, and I really think all hats left is a solid backup for Nic, or put Nic in the second unit and try to find his starting replacement. (already noted in many threads, not many players available that could replace him).

    I just want the entire bench to be the 6th man of the year whenever they get on the court. Defenses will figure out Meyers and CJ after the last few playoff games. The element of surprise is gone now.I kind of give Meyers the edge if only for the fact that he can shoot over anybody and CJ can't

    I'm trying to think of a good metaphor for LeBron vs. the Warriors. Obviously there's 300, with LeBron as Sparta. But I'm thinking maybe the death of Boromir in LotR: he fights valiantly against overwhelming odds and even appears to be winning in the early going, but inevitably goes down with a million arrows sticking out of him. Also relevant: he just wants that ring SO BAD. In fact, he betrays his little hobbit friends (Mo Williams, Booby Gibson) to get it but then comes around in the end and realizes his error - before dying.

    Either way: Warriors in six.

    I was hoping for more of a Jodie Foster/Accused kind of situation.

    Well Cleveland look like complete dogshit. LBJ looks like he's given up.

    JR SMITH IS ALIVE!

    But just to compensate, Shumpert is total crap.

    Emboldened by not missing every shot, JR decides to commit a stupid foul.

    But in fairness, I bet it felt real good to hit Green like that.

    Lebron James decides to give up on saving himself for the fourth quarter and try to stem the bleeding before it gets fatal.

    Which ex-Blazer do you love more: Steve Kerr or James Jones?

    Well Rasta, since you ask, I do like Steve Kerr a lot, but I'm going to side with James Jones because the Warriors just rub me wrong.

    It's so good talking to you, Rasta.

    Thanks man.

    This is going very well for Cleveland. Even when they were turning the ball over, GS didn't take advantage and only got a 6 point lead. It's a low scoring game. Favors Cleveland.

    Could Mike Miller have been the difference?
