    Put Kobe on the Cavs with Mo Williams, Varejao, and company with Mike Brown as coach.

    Now put LeBron on the Lakers with Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, and company with Phil Jackson as coach.

    The Cavs would've lost in this round just as badly if not worse and the Lakers would easily win the title this year.

    Kobe would win 73 games, because Mo Williams is such an amazing second option. Better than Pippen.

    Jamison = Pau.

    I loath Kobe but I will say this; no fucking way a team with Kobe on it quits while down by 9 with 1:45 left in the game.

    That was a pathetic display of ball-less-ness. Where I a Cleveland fan I would be disgusted.

    Hell, I am disgusted anyway.

    That, more then the loss itself, tarnishes LeBron in my eyes.

    What happened in the last 1:45?

    Somehow I feel like this is another overreaction.

    I thought it was closer to 50 seconds left in the game...

    I think this is the better question.


    Put Phil on the Cavs and Mike Brown on the L*kers and how would things have turned out?

    What I saw until just under 1 minute left, were the Cavs trying to play defense instead of giving free points on the intentional foul.

    Hoping for a turnover/steal, whatever. Until the game was out of reach with 40 seconds left or something like that.

    No it is not an over reaction. The Cavs quit down by 9 with 1:45 left. Considering I have seen 8 points scored in 6 seconds before, why would you ever quit?

    They could've kept fouling Rondo intentionally.

    He's still probably going to get free points. The Varejao 3 was a joke but there were 20 something seconds left.

    Go back and check out the body language and the lack of attack demeanor. Things like loose balls hitting the floor and players just standing there and watching it like they were in 3rd person. Giving up defensive gimme's. When they came down and ran their offense (if you could call it that), there was no no sense of urgency.

    I'd hate the Cavaliers every bit as much as I now hate the L*kers.

    Yeah, thanks for pointing this out...I was blown away by that. They just collectivley decided "fuck it" with about the time you mentioned left. They didnt foul, call timeouts, make a quick basket...it was pathetic.

    They had all accepted the season was over long before that game started

    They didn't hound the ball.

    Mo Williams was just jacking up shit.

    Side-show shot a 3 for fucks sake.

    Their body language screamed "We want to get out of here."

    It was pathetic.
