LeBron stays in Cleveland next year if....

It is hard to argue with what you are saying. I think LeBron will be fine tonight and I still think they can come out of the east. I like Kobe's team better than LeBron's, which is nice for Kobe because he usually knows when to shoot and when to pass.

Yea, I think those kicking the dirt on the Cavs are a little premature.

That being said, Brown isn't a good coach and if they are having chemistry issues, then they could be in trouble.

The NBA is much less of a "team sport" than any other major sport. One great player can carry a team, because it's basically been reduced to one-on-one street ball.

It hasn't been reduced to that and look at my post that shows what he did vs the Magic last year. You really want to put that series on James?

I will take LeBron right now and moving forward.

I would too. He's much better than Kobe. He's actually played better than Kobe this postseason and last as well.

But his supporting cast isn't nearly as good and he's facing a team that causes more problems for them than the Jazz did for the Lakers. The Jazz were the perfect matchup for the Lakers. Gasol has also been at least as good as Kobe these playoffs and should be the focal point against the Suns as well.

There's been a couple games where he shot way too much this postseason considering the advantage the Laker bigs have had so far and how he's played in some games. There was also the Kobe screw you game where he basically refused to shoot for the much of the first half and wasn't even trying to be a decoy. He was told to pass it more to Gasol most likely, and that was his rather childish response. The next game he basically did what he should have done in game 4.

Absolutely. I'm a Celtics fan, and I'm pretty worried about losing this series, especially with everyone saying it's over.

How about now?

This is Lebron James in a nutshell.

Have fun watching the Finals from the comfort of your own home again, LBJ.

Let's go Suns!

Why is NO ONE calling out Danny Ferry for putting this crap roster together with the greatest player on the planet?

He had 27,19, and 10..and people are calling him out. Just plain stupid.

The crap roster had the best record in the NBA.

Also, people are giving the C's no credit. Maybe the better team won.

Regular season means little in the NBA, but point taken..

Credit to the Celtics, I agree, but man, Bron didn't get much help tonight in the second half.

I fully expect to get handled by Orlando, but if Garnett can play like he did against Cleveland they have a shot.

Rasheed played really well tonight as well, he could be a key guy against Orlando. Go get 'em. Make sure they knock Vince around a little, he avoids contact as soon as he's hit one time.

So, since everyone's going to start speculating where he ends up...

I think a dark horse signs him. I don't think he goes to NY. What about the Clippers? Assuming they're sufficiently under cap (I think they will be).

Good young nucleus. Could totally put his stamp on that franchise. They play in LA. He'd have an instant rivalry with Kobe. He'd be close to Nike. He'd be insanely marketable there. Makes just as much sense as NY or New Jersey if not more.

They should have the space, and I like the rivalry with Kobe angle too..nice call.

I still say he stays if I had to bet on it.

Clev or Chicago.

I have always thought Chicago made the most sense and according to reports out now, chicago is the leader if Clev doesn't keep him.

If LeBron leaves, I think it is kind of cowardly to be honest.

They have tried to put a team around him...They have brought in enough talent to augment him.

The bottom line is coaching...That's why I made this thread...The Cavs should go all out and try to get Phil to Clev...That will be the difference.
