    hahahahaha! As far as national shows go, the pre and post game shows on TNT are something I do miss with not having cable. But not that much.

    honestly (and I appreciate him as a player, and don't hate him as much as K*be):

    it wasn't the "Decision"...it was the B.S. he spouted to CLE the 2 years before the Decision (including wanting input into trades to get players around him to help him win) and not giving them the option of trading him when he knew from the Olympics that he was joining up some SuperFriends, and it wouldn't be in CLE.

    Cleveland should've done anything possible to land the talent LeBron wanted.

    2 options could've happened:

    1. He stays because he has the talent around him to win a championship.

    2. He leaves still but at least you have talent on your roster still.

    Neither was helping, as has come out in his interviews about teaming up during the 2008 Olympics.

    Heck, I wouldn't have cared if he pulled a 'Melo and said "I'm never resigning here--do what you need to do". Being a UFA was his right, as was taking less money to play with his buddies. But when he was asked by media (I can understand not pissing off your fanbase) and management (which I find deporable) he made it sound like there was something CLE could do to keep him, when it had been decided for almost 2 years.

    They did try to make stupid trades for players LeBron wanted. Look at the trade deadlines in 2009 and 2010. He left anyway, leaving the cupboard bare. But at least CLE got a couple of seconds and 15M of treasured cap space.

    Hibbert just reached across the underside of the hoop and blocked Chalmers reverse layup without leaving his feet.

    Man, I'm reminded of how much I hate watching the Heat. Guys like Mario Chalmers and Rashard Lewis this they're the Love Children of Thug Life and KG just b/c LeBron's on their team. And since they've built a reputation for defense, they get away with being the Bad Boys Pistons garbage on D.

    I give him till Christmas. Same goes for Shumpert.

    The Knicks should move Shumpert and parts to the Suns for Dragic.

    I finally found someone who LBJ can't guard--his name is Roy Hibbert. Just pushed the king out of the way like a child there.

    With Hibbert, we'd be about unstoppable. :sigh: Well played, IND.

    Looks like it worked out for everyone involved, though.

    The Heat would be so bad without LeBron. Wade should take the Duncan paycut if they really want to win again.

    Of course Rick Fox Nasty is going to give K*be an "A" on his first game back "...because he made it back".
