Honestly, I'm not sure what I would call, I'm not a NBA coach. I guess a pick and roll or setting LeBron or someone else with a jumpshot off a screen. Who knows? They did get a good second shot and missed. It happens.

Oh never mind.

Go ahead and argue Hossy...Im afraid you're as lost as he is in this mess.












Really unbelieveable.

Honest a God.

And poor horseys get shot.

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 know...as well as once again claiming James is the only reason they are where they are.....and at least one statement of yours has oddly disappeared.





By your measure the WBF teams would have won the title with James.








The Chones anchored team won a division...something that still eludes this one man team .











There are just a few more important things going on than the International Icon whose "business" interests excede these important matters.

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.











My nose remains the same length.

Standing there and taking the ball 1 on all is garbage.......Lebron is a very limited basketball player with physical skills that compensate for his flaws.
And yes, when Larry Hughes left town in DC the fans quickly got over it. Another millionaire who lost his hunger when they got the contract.

I totally agree. Pass the ball around the perimeter and try to get the best shot. that works better when you have a talented big man inside posting up, but this isolation crap and 1 on 1 really dumbs down basketball IMO.

Is not.



And I am afraid you will have to leave ...ma'am.

There are no female NBA coaches here....nor have there ever been.













Please take that filthy poodle with you.
