    just sayin.....

    after seeing LeFlop, I can really appreciate even more having an athlete to root for who wouldn't give the competition the satisfaction of thinking he was hurt.

    The worst was actually the flop in the first where he tried to say Curry knocked him into the first row. Seriously? Curry who weighs maybe 175 lbs knocks down 265 LeBron that easily? Okay.

    I can't stand listening to Jackson and Van Gundy either...

    Can you imagine as well Kobe with a "cramp bucket" and massages for cramps on the bench? Oh I know.... Kobe's body not as "finely tuned" as King James' magnificent one.

    Seriously. I completely appreciate the effort that LeBron is putting forth here. I really do. He's putting together a Herculean effort and it's awesome. If it weren't for the media all over him I wouldn't feel bad admitting that.

    But c'mon now. How about you hydrate your damn self and eat right so you're not cramping in the Finals. You can't use that excuse every year, you're not allowed. Cramping is a problem that you have once, learn from and prepare for. That probably means less alcohol, more water and bananas. Honestly it's that simple most of the time.

    When did Kobe, Magic, Kareem, Jordan, Wilt, Russell... When did those guys cramp up? Prepare yourself!!! It's not that complicated!

    I can't wait for the excuses tomorrow if they lose this game. He literally dives into the cameraman in a situation that could have been avoided, but they'll find a way to excuse ANOTHER poor shooting performance. He's played great overall but it drives me crazy that if Kobe put up the same numbers they'd focus solely on his shooting percentage.

    And seriously, I haven't looked up the numbers but his usage rate has got to be astronomical.

    Do we really need to see the Lebaby spa treatment every other commercial break.

    he definitely backed off tonight in general. tonight he looked like classic playoff Lebron, not the guy who took 30+ shots in 3 straight games for the first time in his entire career.

    Well the Warriors finally showed him a different look too. They blitzed the screens for him and made him pass the ball to the losers on his team. I loved the way they played him today though. Beautifully done.

    after the last quarter last game, I predicted the Warriors sweep the rest of the games. I think this series is OVER.

    Whenever the Warriors have a stretch of good play...Jackson has a flat, matter of fact tone. When James or the Cavs do well, his voice rise a couple of octaves. Grown man move! Woooh...

    Oh and the subject of this thread? Tears achilles...walks to the free throw line and cans them both. No dramatic grimacing...no wheelchair...no attention seeking drama act.

    Opponents don't give Lebron a lot of respect ... It says it all

    Iggy wouldn' mock Kobe , Duncan , MJ and them ...

    Bogut said Lebron got injured cause he flopped

    Klay reaction on the play is hilarious .

    Yeah, but Wilt never played the kind of minutes that LeBron is.

    Oops! Wilt averaged 45.8 minutes per game in his CAREER and 47.2 per game in the playoffs. I wonder whether people know that.

    Wilt averaged 48.5 one season. Just crazy stamina. Lebron is gassed from playing so much and shooting a lot. Wilt did that for a career, not just a playoff series.

    It's true Kobe wouldn't have flinched.

    He also wouldn't have flashed.

    This morning's headline on ESPN:

    "Lebron plays big minutes despite cut to the head"

    wow. because a gash to the head makes it real difficult to run and jump and put circle ball in hole.
