Oh yeah, Barkley was always on cruise control. You talk shit about Shaq coming into the season out of shape.... again hypocritical. Charles Barkley was always loafing and out of shape. Doesn't mean he wasn't awesome. You're really inconsistent with who earns your scorn for giving less than 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumble In the Jungle Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 how could anyone hate on Lebron though, he's a good kid. never been arrested, and can hoop it the fuck up! that shot in the Orlando game was unreal ! did anyone see him on 60 minutes ? if not then you should. i like Lebron and i hope he gets his ring. im not a big NBA fan but out of all the teams left i want to see the Nuggets in the finals vs. the Cavs. and whoever wins it im cool cause i like Kmart since i went to school with him and i support my home boy anywho, check this shit out. and they said that he only tried that one time, there wasn't a take 2 or 3 or 4!!!

I thought for sure Orlando was going home up 2-0 but nooooooooooooooo. Oh well. Orlando is doing it to themselves. Starting out pathetically slow and getting down by 10 + points early in the game.[/quote] Orlando does seem to have a habit of falling behind too often early. Their defense isn't as consistent as it should be, but they have an amazing offense with all of those shooters plus Dwight Howard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denver is getting screwed too and they cant overcome the refs it seems. Lebron is a great great player and imo he is almost at jordan status and easily has the ability to be better than jordan, but it hurts that he doesnt have shit for teammates. they showed that stat last night that in these 3 games lebron has 64 points in the 4th quarter and the rest of his team has 67 points.

MAYBE espn and the nba and nike shouldnt be running non stop kobe vs lebron commercials, half hour specials, stories, everhthing while these teams compete. it makes it disturbingly more obvious.... and lebron is going to be a broken shell of himself in 3-4 years if he continues to have to carry his team, the dude it BEAT, bleeding all over, worn out, cramping up, in game 2 he got to sit a bit being up by 23 at one point, got some rest, and hit that shot...

|Bengal Migration| Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 It must be really bad if you guys are getting so upset about it. The officiating in the NBA has always been crap. While I tend to be the conspiracy theorist (go figure ) that thinks the league is out to create the "ideal" matchup for the finals based on marketing dollars, what is the other option? Hmm, let's see. In the last Orlando/Cleveland game, Joe Crawford was the lead official. He's 57 years old. Mark Wunderlich is 50. Greg Willard is 50. Anyone see a problem with having 50 year old guys running up and down the court with guys like LeBron, Kobe, Carmelo, etc for 48 minutes a game? I mean, if the professional athletes themselves can't keep up once they reach the age of 35+, how likely is it that the refs can get up and down the floor all night, and consistently be in the proper position to make the correct calls. Especially at the end of the game? Even in my heyday, I couldn't have done it.

Inigo Montoya Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I'm surprised that the Cavs were able to hang with the Magic in Game 4. Orlando hit 17 threes for the game (17-38, 44.7%) with 6 different players combining to make at least one, including six from Rafer Alston and five from Michael Pietrus.

Sure, if you take away LeBron's game winner in Game 2 the series would already be over. But then again, if you take away either of Rashard Lewis' threes in Game 1 or Game 4 and the Cavs likely win those games. With the exception of Game 3, this series has been very, very close.
