    Can you tell me our rosters for the time we lost to Detroit and Phoenix when we were up 3-1??
    And I STILL don't know why you attribute that to Durant's "chokejob." Why can't you just admit he had an all-world defender guarding him who was PROBABLY robbed of being on an All-Defensive team this year?

    Exactly, Kobe hasn't exactly been the 100% best whenever he plays in the playoffs and "I refuse to shoot this half because Smush Parker is my PG" was proof of that

    pretty sure we weren't up 3-1 on Detroit, but we had Shaq in semi-prime, Payton, Fisher in prime, etc.

    Detroit: Shaquille O'Neal, and a Kobe who played terrible. That's all that really matters. Jamison is on par with Odom, think about what LeBron has to do.

    Phoenix: For Laker fans complaining about one bad game, Kobe didn't exactly bring it EVERY night. He had a 3-1 lead. And he lost in the first round again the year after, and didn't make the post-season at age 26.

    Maybe because Duncan/etc. is an all-world defender at the Power forward spot and stars are still supposed to get there's. Dirk has never been so anemic and inefficient in his entire career in the post-season.

    Correct, I was just talking about Phoenix.

    It's ironic you mentioned this prior to the post game press conference. LeBron did mention his "team" several times during the interview. However, the team he was referring to wasn't the Cavs, it was "Team LeBron."

    Stay loyal, keep losing. Except that maybe he's so great he wins one day.

    Leave, get criticized.

    It will be better for LeBron and the sport if he leaves and goes to a big market team. He's too comfortable in Cleveland, he's the big fish in the small pond. He'll develop that edge playing in New York, LA, or Chicago.

    Freud? ;]

    I hope so, it would be more interesting.

    Unless Cleveland trades for someone I'd bolt.

    I'd take him in LA. He's a great player there's no denying it. He'd fit right in with the Triangle offense. I think the Zen Master would challenge him in ways LeBron has never experienced before and he'll mold him into being a killer on the court and not just a stat machine.

    LeBron and phil Jackson is a combo I'd like to see during my lifetime :D. Although they don't have much time left as Phil is getting older and older. Besides that I DO believe that this was the last game in Cavaliers uniform for him. They have killed the regular season twice and got owned in the playoffs two times in a row, something must be wrong.
