Can we please fast forward to LeBron holding the trophy

Dear All Cav Fans,

I love how you support Lebron james and his domination in Game 5. It was an amazing display, but please for the love of god do not get cocky. Yes, your team might win the NBA championship and Yes, Lebron could go down as the best player ever BUT it hasn't happened...yet anyways and there is a chance that it never will. I'm a big fan of Lebron James and seeing him in game 5 inspired me to go shoot some hoops. DO NOT BE LIKE THE MIAMI HEAT FANS LAST YEAR AND GET ANNOYINGLY COCKY and start ranting about how dwade is better than any1 ever! Be modest to a point because die hard fans are only as good as how far their team goes...and if i'm correct Detroit can still win AND you will be the underdog against San Antonio.

Sincerely,
TmacGarnett

 

I love watching Lebron. After the second round nothing seemed to interest me, but Lebron has rekindled that flame.

That being said I believe the Cavs will make it to the finals. However, I just cannot see them beating the Spurs. Regular season Spurs and Playoff Spurs are totally different. Don't get me wrong there is nothing I would love to see more than the Spurs go home and Cavs win, but it will not happen. Why? The reason is simply, Tim Duncan. Washington's low post presence=terrible. Nets low post presence, Kristic, Moore= below average. Pistons post Mcdyess, Webber= slow and old. The Spurs have that mix that every championship team has. where you seem to stop one guy and all of the sudden Horry, or Finley, or Bowen step up and fill in the scoring or defensive role. They may play dirty by some peoples opinions, but it is only because they have such a high basketball IQ that they can get away with it. Plus how can Mike Brown compete with the minds of Carlisimo and Popovich, and to top it off home court advantage.

This being said I hope Cavs win, lol.

I understand that you're from Michigan, but honestly. Cleveland already has homecourt here and I don't see them losing this game. I think they have Detroit figured out here, besides, and not to be biased.. I'm from Toronto and I really would hate to see two of the best and most boringest teams playing each other in the final, aka Detroit/San Antonio. Been there done that.

 

IF (and it's definitely an if) the Cavs do get to the NBA Finals, it could be a really fascinating matchup. The Cavs beat the Spurs both times this season, and there is no reason why they can't rally behind LeBron and do it again. I think the Spurs will probably win the Finals, but I do believe the Cavs do have a shot provided, obviously, they beat the Pistons either tonight or in Game 7.

A one man team cannot beat the best defense in the league in a 7 game series. Cavs need someone else to step up else it will be done in 5.

I don't mind the Cavs, I just don't want the nut lickers on Sportcenter to dedicate an entire month of shows to LeBron.

BS, he had some amazing/clutch games last year in the post season that everyone seems to forget about.

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Why the hell would Lebron risk suspension (for multiple games, no less) and punch an opposing player?</div>

because he's tough....and that's what tough guys do........

 

Bowen on LeBron. LeBron is not getting 40= pts.

Lets jump on the LeBron bandwagon again.

 

Can we please rewind to when ridiculous statements like these weren't being made? I'm amazed as anybody by what Lebron accomplished in that last game, but there's still a lot of basketball to be played. Let's just enjoy the rest of the playoffs instead of diminishing his performances with all this exaggeration.

I actually don't like Lebron that much, I prefer watching Wade, Nash, Tmac, and Kobe. However I still think he is a very capable offensive player who scoring 40 on Bowen is definitely possible.

Same thing with Kobe's 81 point game, statistically it was incredible, but I just felt the Raps defense and coaching was terrible which made it so much harder for me to enjoy it.

Maybe because it seemed to easy for Lebron and Kobe to score those nights.

I found Vince and Iverson both scoring massive points against each other in the playoffs more enjoyable. Those games, it was like a competition and they were fighting for baskets.

 

Spurs will win the Finals. The pressure does not get to them. The Cavs will be the worst team coming out of the east in years. (assuming they defeat Detroit, which I think they will)

This finals is comparable to the 2000 Lakers vs. Sixers. A good all around team vs. a one man show. And it will have the same result.

I know what you mean. I am from Michigan but believe it or not i am actually rooting for the cavs, im just trying to be realistic as well. Detroit is not going to fold with their backs against the wall and anyone who says cleveland is winning this game hands down is an idiot. I have disliked the pistons since grant hill got traded, and i definatley do not want to see the pistons against the spurs again. Although it would be nice for a detroit team to win something since the Red Wings lost. What i want to happen is Lebron gets his first championship this year, then next year Carmello get his first championship, so it will be Wade, Lebron, then Melo winning championships and starting a legecy as the best 3 players to ever come out of a draft at the same time. That would be huge.

he dropped 35 on him (or more) earlier this season....40 is def. possible....Bowen is a good defender, but great scorers can dominate great defenders one on one....

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The pressure does not get to them.</div>

pressure has shown to get to this team in the past...

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">This finals is comparable to the 2000 Lakers vs. Sixers. A good all around team vs. a one man show. And it will have the same result.</div>

nah, I don't think this spurs team is as good as that lakers team and I don't think this cavs team is as bad as that sixers team......

To clarify my following post, I do not think that the Cavs will win the NBA Finals (if they get there), but am merely stating evidence to show that they can.

They beat the Spurs at home and on the road this season (88-81, and 82-78).

In games where LeBron James scores 30 or more points against the Spurs, the Cavs are 3-0.

In games where he scores 20 or fewer points against the Spurs, they are 1-3.

This shows that the Cavs are capable of winning a series against the Spurs so long as they can rally behind LeBron. They will need the supporting cast to show up, don't get me wrong, but the statistics show that they need 30+ performances from LeBron to stand a chance at winning the series.

Again, don't get me wrong, I think the Cavs will lose in 6, maybe 7, but the series may well be closer than some people think.

 

Tim Duncan would still be the best player on the floor even with Lebron's recent spectacular play. He's been there, hes undefeated in the Finals, and as always having a quiet, yet great playoff run this year yet again.

 

<div class="quote_poster">Lostmyluggage Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">But can the spurs contend with somone so thirsty, so hungry, so...so....dominant. Do not relay on the Spurs dirty play that has gotten them this far. It won't work. It works on other soft teams, but not the Cavs. You saw what could have happend to McDy had LeBron not held back. He will NOT tolerate any foul play. Spurs know this, and they know that one punch from LeBron could end someones career as they know it. They are scared. They haven't beaten Cleveland all year, and they do not intend to.

It's over.

LeBron can and will conform to the following if need be:
Every Point
Every Time
No Exceptions
No Excuses</div>




Dumbest post i've seen on this site LOL

The Spurs were the only team in that time period who could beat the Lakers, so I think they are pretty darn close. I gave a comparison. The Cavs are better than that Sixers team, but I meant in recent years. The Nets, Pistons, and Heat teams could all beat this Cavs team IMO.

 

Can you believe that a coach as ****** as Mike Brown, and teammates as bad as Lebron's have the chance to be in the NBA Finals after tonight?

Spurs in 4.
