    So now that Peyton Manning and A-Rod have won titles, is LeBron now BYH's whipping boy?

    lol @ someone saying "Are you sure you still want LeBron?"

    Not sure which worse, that, or "Ray Allen = Juwan Howard."

    What a pathetic load of choking, quitting dogs. The end of that game was astonishing.

    LeBron was definitely hurt. He was having trouble even dribbling.
    Still, what's amazing to me is how he's going to take a beating for this, DESPITE a 27-point, 19-rebound, 10-assist performance in an elimination game.
    How much money does Jamison make? Because he's stealing. It's easy to score point for a shit-ass team that nobody cares about in games that mean nothing. But when the best player on the planet needed SOME help, ANY help, dude goes out and scores five points. Clutch.

    I sure didn't say that.
    Figure out who did and message me.
    I said they were similar in career length and accomplishments.

    Now, with that cleared up, I sure do expect LeBron to leave.
    The team gave up, with more than a minute left, and down by only nine.
    They stopped fouling, stopped trying ... just gave up.
    He'll want new teammates.

    This just in:

    The Celtics were swept by the Hawks this year.

    Matchups are funny things.

    Will Juwan Howard be a Hall of Famer? He has done everything Ray Allen has and I don't think Juwan is a HOFer.

    He scored 27 on 8-of-21 shooting and committed 9 turnovers. It's like the QB who throws for 400 yards and four touchdowns on 50 pass attempts with 3 interceptions.

    And LeBron is the face of that franchise and is hyped by the team and the league. When your team fails, even if it's not all your fault, you're going to get blamed. It's the name of the game when you're a major star. Just ask Peyton Manning or A-Rod or any other star player whose teams had a lot of ghastly postseason flops, even if they weren't all that player's fault.

    I'll cop to being wrong. I really thought LeBron James would go for 40 in this game and the next one, willing the Cavaliers through.

    While his shooting wasn't spectacular, he has nothing to apologize for after tonight.

    Will he leave?

    I expected much more from either team, had they been down like that.
    There was no sense of urgency and LeBron had already shown, with back-to-back 3s, that a comeback was possible.
    They didn't even try to foul Rondo when he had the ball up top.
    Announcers pointed that one out.
    Cleveland flat gave up. No question about it.
