I'm not so sure he is any longer. He isn't playing like it.

He's not. Durant is better and has way more character.

Last nights foul shooting display was uncanny. Lakers 42 of 43 and Thunder 26 of 28.

I've never been a fan of Doug Collins but he deserves credit for the job he's done in Philly.

It was almost as amazing as the Lakers getting every call known to man to make sure there wasn't a sweep. Harden getting called for two off the ball fouls in the 4th were ridiculous considering Asstest rapes Durant on every possession and never gets called for it, ever.

Home teams always get the calls. They need the series to go at least 6 games so they can show Timberlake and Nicholson clapping.

A.I. needs to be introduced at the Garden.

Philly is an Elton Brand trade away from becoming a top 5 team.

I think we might have witnessed a transformation tonight. Even though James missed the game winning shot at the end of regulation tonight, just the fact that he took the shot was big. Not only that he took the shot but the way he went out and demanded the ball after he got that offensive rebound. I'm ok with him missing. All players miss more in that situation than they make, even Jordan and Bryant. I just liked the way he ran out to the perimeter and called for the ball and didn't shy away from the moment the way he has so often in the last couple of years. I think that was huge. It reminded me of that moment some years ago when Isiah Thomas told his teammates that he was taking the shot, period, and that either they would win or lose and it would be on him but he was taking it.

LeBron is bitchmade. I don't know how anyone can argue that. That shot at the end of regulation was a microcosm of his entire late-game personality. He has a 6'1"/170 lb. guard on him talking sh it, daring him to win the game, and he backs away and badly misses a fallaway 20-footer at the buzzer. It's comical at this point how scared he plays under pressure.
