    Isn't it the first time ever that both conference finals have been 3-0 since the seven game format?

    Could be. I can't remember another time. Makes for a pretty lame playoffs.

    Clippers-Spurs has been the only good series.

    When the Warriors spanked the Rockets by 35 I couldn't believe my eyes

    LeBronze is such a drama queen. I keep expecting someone from off the Cav's bench to come drape a cape over him, à la James Brown . . .

    I gotta ask what you mean by a drama queen because nothing iv seen from him this post season is anything out of the norm for an NBA superstar. More importantly iv tried to figure out the LeBronze comment but I must be to hung over to figure it out.

    People just hate on Lebron and need to stop. That's all.

    I hate that he's not in a Blazers uniform. Does that count?

    I found my hatred had dissipated now that he's back in Cleveland. He's not the biggest cock in the NBA (that's Westbrook) and he's not the best player in the NBA (that's Curry). He's having to deal with a coach that can't even find the paper bag he can't coach his way out of, and the disastrous results of a trade he demanded. But he's out there trying.

    I can't even muster the hate for him anymore because he just seems so harried right now, like a dad working at a job he hates to make sure his kids can go to Disneyland.

    How about him collapsed on the floor after the buzzer for an extended period of time (where the hell is that guy with my cape, anyhow?) . . . And his totally out of it expression during the immediate post-game interview? Lookit, I don't hate LeBronze, mostly because he shoved kobie off the big stage (I do hate kobie). But I wish the guy would just play basketball and leave all the histrionics aside. Oh yeah, everybody called him "LeBronze" after the USA team finished 3rd in the 2004 Olympics (just google it) . . .

    Los Angeles-centric fans lead the gossip against top superstars, valuing them only by number of championships. It's about pride when the Lakers win it and bitterness when they don't.

    Could LeBron buy the cavs after he retires? I'm sure he has enough money to make it happen.

    He would still need to hire a guy to bring him his cape and lead him off the court. I guess if he owned the Cavs, he could make the GM do that at halftime and after the game . . .

    Probably. Doesn't he already own a soccer team?

    ... what? How can you get Harden and James confused? Unless Harden IS Lebron without the beard. :MARIS61:

    What on EARTH got into the Rockets? The two games in Oakland were very competitive, Game 2 decided by 1 point, they get home and just lie down and die. I am wondering if some bad shit happened behind the scenes? Guess we'll find out tonight.

    ...something along the lines of Choke Harden throwing a temper tantrum and cussing out Dwight Howard and company? That might help to explain both of their piss poor performances.
