Give me a break. Go breakdown the Atlantic Sun conference.

This is the big bad juggernaut that everyone is supposed to be afraid of? Are you serious? Go run last with a $4,000 claimer.

pathetic

:rolleyes: So how do you explain this tonight? They're not interested? Or Chicago's secretly awesome?

Explain what? Are they supposed to blow everyone out every game?

Right, so MOV means nothing when it's the team you talk up. They're struggling at home to put away an 8-seed that should've been dead to rights after Game 4. If they're as great as you say they are, this game never should've been in doubt. You can't just say how awesome they are, then ignore their mediocre performance in this series except for one game. That's Shaugnessy analysis.

Give me a break. This is the NBA playoffs, not Wake Forest-NC State. Chicago has played well, perhaps you havent noticed but James has been quiet on the offensive end. Perhaps the elbow he injured the other day is bothering him?

Your argument is typically weak. They arent dominating... ooohhhh they must suck then...

I knew it. Chicago is playing too well, LeBron is secretly hurt. Cleveland's just doing enough to win. They're like Zenyatta.

Cleveland won games in this series by 10, 13, and 23. they lost by 2. How exactly is that not good?

Sure LBJ regularly takes 3 shots in a half. Or 12 in a closeout game. Obviously he has not been nearly as aggressive on the offensive end. Maybe he is feeling the pressure because ernest byner fumbled...

If Clev holds on nobody will care why they haven't been themselves tonight. Survive and advance is all that matters. Round 2 will still follow. Same Bat time Same Bat channels

LOL @ this game still being in doubt despite the refs robbing Rose of a 3-point play, two toilet bowl rimouts by Rose and a Byner-esque fumble by Noah.

It was quite obvious that James was hurting

except for haters...

LeBron looked he had a dislocated shoulder by how that game ended.

Talk about poor timing....

He "hurt" himself in the 3rd quarter, not "the other day." I'm sure he'll magically be fine by Saturday.

Oh so he IS hurt? Or perhaps he is just faking because the indians suck?

More likely he reinjured the arm in the 3rd quarter that he injured on Sunday. Or was he faking when he left the court to go back to the locker room Sunday?
Or when a guy that scores 30 a game takes 3 shots in the first half...

Yeah, he looked real hurt on Sunday when he was pulling up from halfcourt.

So you never had an injury that was worse the next day?

So he finishes the game today in obvious discomfort, he plays exceptionally passively in the 1st half of a tight playoff game, falls hard on the same area that was injured on Sunday and shoots a FT lefthanded. Yes this is all typical behavior.

How anyone could watch the 1st half and not wonder what was up with james is beyond me.

The Dwayne Wade stuff is already starting.....

So Lebron had xrays and a MRI on the day off?

Perhaps they anticipated his third quarter injury and got the xrays and MRi's in advance?

It's the NBA. Mediocre except for one game pretty much describes the Celtics against the Heat too I'm pretty sure. I am confident the refs will give the Cavs the series. Aren't you?? Shaugnessy forgot about that. I know you never do however.
