Guys..have any of u payed attention when in the 4th quarter (at least it seemed that way) that when James was chucking up shots (99% of them forced and dumb shots when teammates were wide open) NONE of the ABC commentators said anything about him not passing,missing shots etcetera? If Kobe did this the commentators and surely the media would be all over it and fingerpointing him into being selfish not bringin what is needed, not making his teammates better etc. Not to compare them but their images one can compare. Although Kobe played like he should've played in the series against the Suns, The Lakers lost because Smush and co weren't able to step it up when they had to, Kobe average less than 10 shots less a game and the Lakers were up 3-1. The Cavs tonight lost because of the unwillingness of James to pass the ball. If it were Kobe , ESPN/ABC/TNT would be hating on him. How come King James can't do no wrong. It frustrates me to death!
Lebron does not suck...and this is coming from a Piston fan. They lost because Detroit is a good team, i gotta give them props for the Cavs at this series.
Silly Kobe Groupie Cavs lost tonight because no one could make a shot for the Cavs and the Pistons played championship defense. Lebron was 11-24 for 27 points while the rest of his team-mates were shooting around 20% or whatever It was. Lebron did his part and took the title favourites to 7 games....7 GAMES!! which is a hell of an effort. there's a big difference between he and and what Kobe did.
When he passes to the open man, he isn't clutch and he can't take the big shots. When he tries to take over and get his team a win, he is a ballhog and can't find his open teamates. All of you need to quit hating on the best young player this league has had since Jordan and enjoy the time he is on the court. Instead of criticizing every single aspect of his game, why don't you look at how great he is compared to the rest of the league. Also, keep in mind that this kid would be a Junior in college right now had he taken the normal route to the NBA. So instead of hating on the phenom, respect him and realize that he is the rising star this league needs to save its image.
I am surprised no one saw this coming. But game 6 for the Cavs was Game 7. It frustrated me to see them lose that game at home. They gave up like 7 offensive rebounds or something. Pathetic.

LeBron doesn't suck, he's an amazing player for his age. His confidence and composure are better than a lot of veterans in the league. The Pistons defense finally showed up in Game 7 and they used a similar strategy like they did against the Lakers in the Finals. They focused on shutting down all of LeBron's teammates instead of trying to slow him down. The other Cavs shot 9/41 from the field, not LeBron's fault.
