Say whatever you want. LeBron James is the person most responsible for the turnaround of the franchise...not Anderson Verajao, Sasha Pavlovic, Eric Snow, Drew Gooden, Larry Hughes. LeBron James is the catalyst for the improvement of the franchise, end of story. You can keep slobbering about the subject and think something else is driving it, but that would just be slobbering as I said.

And I certainly did.



You neatly wanted to contend James alone was the reason for the turn around....failing to mention almost the whole doggoned TEAM turned over.


Most responsible ...yes.

Soley....no.......as you wanted to indicate in your prior statement after accusing someone else of disregarding fact.






But that's what "witnesses" like to do.













Mos' honobur James tun whor team lound......arr by serf!













SOMETING LONG HEAH!!

If the play wasnt drawn up as a last possession play probably about 8 seconds. Lebron dribbled around at the top of the key before driving into a triple team and missing. Youre not going to get a foul called in that situation, so why force a bad shot. They should have taken a decent shot, and got the board, fouled, etc. My arguement is that the play was drawn up as a final possession play like it was a tie. Sure you can get lucky and get a tip, or get a second shot by Larry Hughes who cant hit the broad side of a barn, however thats not what you are looking for. In that spot they should have been trying to get an open look and had something to fall back on. Not shoot from the hip and prayed for a tip, or hughes to hit a shot he hasnt hit all year.

And what play would you have run? Did you think that Detroit was going to let them get a "decent" shot? Why doesn't anyone talk about the great D played by Hamilton? He played that as well as it is possible to play it. He hampered the shot attempt with his arms across James arm without making it look like a certain foul. Stood his ground without moving towards the offensive player. Perfect d.

What "open look" were they going to get and for whom? Anderson? Hughes?

Again, I'm not sure why people on this forum think it is "easy" to get stuff against Detroit's defense. It never is and never has been. The opportunities they had the first two games are about as good as you can possibly get against that team.

cant' keep up with me can you mortimer. I never once said James was "solely" responsible for the turnaround...you did. Don't put words into my mouth. I was responding to a post which stated James was overrated, I simply stated some facts as to what the team had done since James got there. If the best you can do is make stuff up that I supposedly said...you are not fit to discuss things with me. You are not up to my standard or even close. Despite your spacing. You can't keep up wiht me, and never could and never will...ever.
