    LeBron stays in Cleveland next year if....

    ..there is a new head coach...Mike Borwn isn't cutting it.

    The name I am thinking? Phil Jackson.

    Jeannie Buss believes he will be coaching somewhere next year and it may not be LA...If he isn't LA, going wherever LeBron does makes the most sense.

    What has been said about Phil recently is that if he coaches next year it will be for the Lakers. That was to refute the Bulls rumors. Maybe you've heard something more recently.

    Not that Brown isn't a bad coach but there is always an excuse for Lebron's failures in the playoffs.

    As I said, last week Jeannie Buss said she believes Phil will be coaching somewhere next year...LA or not.

    Well more recently it's been said if he'll coach, it will be in LA.

    He sucked last night, but lets not act like he's had the best team in previous years.

    His team had the best reg season record the last two years and it looks like he's not going to get out of the Eastern Conference either year. Sure, there is some validity to the excuses I constantly hear for the guy but at what point do people start pointing a finger at Lebron too.

    Yep...for the supposed best player in the league, he needs to get his team to the finals.

    This year.

    And just because his team has had the best regular season record doesn't mean they've been the best team. He's just so good that the team wins a ton of games even though the supporting cast hasn't always been that good.

    I don't know what to tell you if want to blame a guy for losing a series to a very good Magic team that presented matchup problems for them when this is what he did that series:

    38.5 ppg, 8 asts, 8.3 reb on 49% shooting.

    He has done that before. It's also a team sport. I just showed what he did last year against the Magic, it's hard to blame him for that. Last night was awful though.

    When I heard Queen James say that he "spoils people with his play", has only had 3 bad games in his career, and feels bad for himself...I ramped up my hatred of him. What a whiny $&@#! he is...

    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.

    I think I would prefer to have Kobe for this playoffs and probably next year as well...By then, LeBron will have a better understanding for the game come playoff time and will be a smarter and better player.

    It took MJ a while to get that point and MJ came out of college.

    LeBron is great and is probably better than Kobe now but in a pressure situation and things like that, I want the ball in Kobe's hand..either to take the shot or to make the smart decision.
