I should have resisted as I told Steve I didn't want to cause him trouble so I would not say anything here anymore...so now I'm a BIG LIAH.





But it's not easy.



Better off not conversing with the guy.

I think he must write in asking for articles of James clothing.













God...I can't stand it.
I was defending the coach, sir.




I forgot you liked the World B Free era better.




Perhaps they can dig up Jim Chones for you.

I like all the Cleveland finger pointing.

They don't have a point guard...which is true....and JKidd is one of the best pg's around.



I can't imagine what I'm trying to say.

Lebron James is highly overrated. The guy clearly isn't comfortable under pressure.

I can't recall Bird or Jordan passing up on game winners nor missing so many of them.

It took Jordan and Chicago four playoff series to crack the Pistons. What makes anyone believe Cleveland can do it quicker.

Detroit is far better than last year, esp defensively when they over-relied on man D and Ben Wallace to defend any break down.

Hopefully Cleveland will get at least one at home and make it a bit interesting.

I would like to point something out to some of the professional NBA coaches here.


First...I am not one of you.

I'm stupid...I admit that.

But...




....last year Detroit vaporized Cleveland in the first 2 games. Cleve. came back to win 3 in a row and take it to 7.I thought and still do think Det. will take the series,but also do not believe Cleve. has "no shot" even at this point.Cleve. has lost the first 2 this year by last second misses. They have played much better because they are playing a team game....whether you coaches want to recognize that or not.

These are probably the 2 best defensive teams in the East and both defs. are having a large play in the off. results.



James doesn't have support?


At least in individual points score both teams seem to be suporting their team mates equally.

It's not James winning or losing by himself.....they are just missing as a team.







And listening to"experts" is a losing battle. An "expert' said the last shot Wallace made with only a few seconds taken off the clock showed how confident they were in their def.

I just saw a very bad shot selection that somehow found its way into the little netty-poo.

Oh I don't think you should.

I am unpissoffable.

Not many are.















BELIEVE ME.











You don't know the pm's I get.


I have not had one self induced tantrum displayed here.

And that's the truth.

Silly, silly man. Before LeBron got to Cleveland the team hadn't had a 30 win season in over 3 years. The team was 15-67 the season before LeBron got there. In two years he had them over .500. They have won 3 playoff series in the last 2 years after having not won one since 1993. They have back to back 50 win seasons for only the second time in close to 40 years in existence.

HE hit not one, but two game winning shots in the playoffs last year. At age 22, LeBron has 15 playoff wins...I think at that age, Bird and Jordan had a total of zero combined.

Why bother with facts when making things up is so much better!!!

I've had about enough of you.



















Yessireebob-o......they went 16-67 and then James came and with EXACTLY the same team members he immediately turned them around to where they are now.


It's just incredible what that one player addition has done.
















Do you all were spahgetti bibs when you write this garbage?

You are zero competition for me. absolute zero. nada. You're right. McCinnis, Snow, POllard and Newble are mostly responsible for the improvement.

With your 85 returns between sentences, I am concluding you are wearing 18 spaghetti bibs.

Hes hands down the worst coach in the league.

Leaves no time on the clock to foul or get the ball back if they miss. They run down the last 14 seconds with Lebron at the top of the key taking a shot into a triple team. They did a hell of a job drawing that one up, that used to be my favorite shot on the playground.

They could have hired Van Gundy but I dont think they thought he would "jive" with the young, hip, Lebron. Instead they hire Brown who is a complete buffoon. Really miss Lenny Wilkins

False and false. REad my other post on the subject...they, miss, Hughes gets the rebound, they put up another shot...put up a tip in, Detroit gets the rebound and they foul and there is still close to 2 seconds. If Detroit rebounds James' miss, there is plenty of time to get another possession.

the reason they didn't have any time is because they kept getting offensive rebounds. I'm not sure that is a bad thing or is it??? Silly , silly people.

Mike Brown coaching record
Regular season 100-64
Playoffs 15-11

The last 24 years Lenny Wilkins coached, his teams made the NBA finals exactly zero times. His lifetime playoff record is 80-98. His record as in the playoffs as a Cavs coach was 18-23. I may not be the expert in Cleveland sports lore that Morty is but I would say that Lenny was dealt a much better hand with Price, Dougherty, Nance, Ron Harper, Elho, and Hot Rod Williams than Brown's current roster.

And Van Gundy did a bang up job with the Rockets in the Playoffs.

Plus you lose many points by not admitting that Isiah is by far the worst coach in the league not named Doc Rivers. Unless you like a lot of other people dont consider the Knicks and Celts part of the NBA any more.

I'm sure you guys will disagree but I think that Brown has outcoached Flipper this series and is unlucky to not be up 2-0.

I really love the theory that if you shoot quick you have a better chance to win. If you are down one and make you give the other team another chance to win. If you are down one and miss and foul you are most likely needing a 3 to tie. I would love to see the probability on teams under 10 seconds in the playoffs, down three points that win or tie. maybe 3%?
They were playing to win the game. If either shot goes in they win. If they dont then they lose. Pretty simple. I'm pretty sure any playoff underdog on the road would love to be in the situation of controlling their own destiny with one last play.

The Eastern Conference was actually competitive when Jordan and Bird played.


Why use rational thinking when you can just put down others? GFY.

LeBron will win, at most, three titles. He's just not as good as his hype.

Of course it was...like Jordan's first playoff team that was 30-52 during the regular season and qualified for the playoffs. Super competetive team there. A 30-52 team qualifying for the playoffs is quite indicative of super competion...what could I have been thinking. Jordan and Bird combined for 1 playoff win before the age of 23...I was wrong there. Sorry about that.
