My cuz is trying not to get sacked so he is probably not replacing Kidd with you just yet.

He dont have to replace Kidd. I can average .09 ppg riding the bench

GPK 02-01-2008 09:25 PM

Wasn't he like 33 when he landed that job?

But as I said, they had a 3rd star who shot it 17 for 31 those games. If it is so darn easy to get easy shots how is it that duncan and Ginobili are shooting under 33 percent in two straight games in the NBA finals when great players like that can get easy shots so easily??

And therein lies the difference in the two teams...LeBron HAS to play well for them to win. ginobili and Duncan were able to get bailed out of their horrendous shooting performances by Parker and their abysmal shooting efforts are footnotes and ignored. When LeBron shoots like that is it ignored?? OF course not...all eyes focus toward his whatever problems he has. Of course ignore the 18 assists he dealt out those two games and everything else he attempted to do.

IN the words of Belichick...It is what it is.

Damn it.
Its not the overall shooting %
In close def. battles like the Spurs and Cavs
its the last minutes of each quarter, especially the 4th.
Oberto absolutely destroyed the Cavs in the last few
minutes with layups in many of those games because Duncan
always draws doubles and such. Ginobili stretches
the D, Duncan draws the D in. Leaving gaps.

Do you think Oberto will help the Cavs?

Where did the easy shots come from on the Cavs?
Gooden cant do what Oberto did? Big I cant do that?
Lebron dribbles around out front and then just charges the
basket. His sense of spacing is just not there yet. Actually
his sense of spacing is quite bad but he can get away with
it because he is so good. He needs time to learn.
And he badly needs a PG.

I am enjoying this.
Keep em coming,
at least you watch the games.

Does he have much control over personel?

You can pm if you want. Promise I wont tell.

It was the NBA finals...easy shots weren't easy to come by for anybody...especially cleveland. You can fool yourself into thinking it is all James fault for his spacing whatever. Fine...Oberto destroyed the Cavs because of all Duncan and ginobili do to defenses which excuses their poor shooting performances. I think you are employing the exaggeration game to the extreme right there. The Spurs won the series because of Tony Parker...end of story. Again if you think his spacing is so bad, you don't watch them that much. Basically the Cavs were playing great D on duncan and Ginoblili just as the Spurs were on James. As I said James did deal out 18 assists those two games. Something must have been spaced at some point. The Spurs were NOT doubling James that much...they were in essence making him take the outside shot...as you said that is not his strength...when he makes them he has games like game 5 against Detroit in the east finals and this week against Portland and LA. When he doesn't hit them you get the NBA finals last year. I saw game 3 of the finals...they got open look after open look from 3 point range and went 3 for 19. If Gibson shoots like he did in game 6 agaisnt Detroit or game 1 of the finals they win by 15 that game.

HE was not at his best that series I know...but give your own team some credit for that. You really expected cleveland to go out and score 110 every game?? The Spurs played great in game 2...but believe me other than that game scoring was no easy task for them that whole series either...(despite the plethora of easy Oberto baskets LOL!!..by the way...Gooden took TWICE as many shots as Oberto the last two games...my guess is his makes were easy looks. ). Parker put the whole team on his back is my assessment of that series.

LeBron certainly understands spacing however. LIke it or not their best chance to score is when James has the ball in his hands. They are the 3rd worst shooting team in the league this year and are 5 games above .500. James is shooting 48 percent taking the most shots on the team...the remainder of the team shoots a combined 42 percent. They are not the 3rd worst shooting team in the league because of him.

YEs, you are correct he can get better. His free throw shooting is troubling, but his outside shot is not as bad as some make it out to be. He makes more than his share. I still stand by my statement however that despite the fact he can get better he is already the best player in the game...and I really don't think it's that close.

The last full year the Cavs had everyone pretty much healthy was last year when they were number 5 in defense among all NBA teams.


Some imbeciles just don't understand the game.


They're more interested in blowing the pud of a certain league star.

Mortimer 02-02-2008 09:37 AM

Yes..that 's what I said.

Man, you're cool. I typed on an internet board that LeBron James is the best player in the NBA. It isn't really that radical of a thought process that leads someone to type that. I stated the fact that Jhonny Peralta never led the AL in strikeouts. It is not a very radical statement to type on an internet board. It is the truth plain and simple.

Me stating legitimate if incorrect opinions....(James is the best player in the NBA) really doesn not take me to imbecile...don't understand the game status. I also brought up historical Cleveland Cavs history on how they had a plethora of players and very good teams in the late 80s and 90s...and how they never, ever got to the finals becuase each of their 3...50 win seasons they ran into a particular team and player in the playoffs and couldn't get by him. AFter viewing that history, I prefer to have the best player in the game on my team, and darn it if that didn't get them to their first final ever last year. You simply had no response to that...none other than to blast me. Because quite frankly there is no response.

Remember the 1976 team?? Great team...should have won the title...but low and behold their best player breaks his foot in practice before the eastern conference finals, and despite still having several good players, losing Jim chones killed them. Remember that?? You simply aren't as good when you lose your best players.

You can try to argue facts, history and whatever on Cleveland sports for the rest of your life. I'm not backing down because you say thebby which makes you some sort of genius or something. I don't understand it....again I'm not in MENSA. The Cavaliers are legitimate right now becuase they have the best player in the game and some decent supporting players who will play defense at times. I honestly don't think they are a playoff team without him.

I've never met LEBron James. I simply type about him on an internet board. What exactly is pud???

Mortimer 02-02-2008 11:00 AM

Rambling,snorting ,schizophrenic diatribe.


Your snotisms ,then, prove Here'sJohnny is a great contact hitter? Your race to the stats bag over my comment only proves....my comment!!


And guess what? With the 5-7 best players of many teams and James.......they're not a playoff team either!




Keep it simple. Here'sJohhny is no ss and James is not Jesus.

Mortimer 02-02-2008 11:01 AM

An you leave me in Thebby!!































Oh my God.
































I mean her out of this.

Explain to me in simple terms how my stating James is the best player in the NBA equates him to JEsus?? Explain to me where I said Jhonny is a great contact hitter?? Never said it...ever. I said he was a good player and an average defensive shortstop or even a hair better than that. I never stated the great contact hitter...you added that as is your shtick here. I stated an indesputable fact that you can't answer. I PROVED you wrong as I often can do and you retaliate as you do with insults, condescending attitude and rors and thebbys.

Why don't you keep it simple and simply state that I was right. Again...no response to anything other than providing insults.

You can't handle me...never could. Try to respond to my factual input about Cavs history without an insult toward me but with facts.

The prey never loses...ever. With luck by my 75,000th post I'll know what a thebby is or a pud. At what point now do I say thud or ror????

horseofcourse 02-02-2008 11:54 AM

Just one more simply question for dear morty. Are you actually really a person??? Because predators really don't mess up natrual selection as badly as your parents did...assuming they are predators as you claim to be so I assume they must also be.

Happy to oblige you on this particular stupid thread. I am quite a non-supernatural entity to indulge you in your vastness...not to mention your space eating abilities on the stupid threads. You're quite welcome.
