man LeBron's numbers in the playoffs are funny...

L. James, CLE 5 39.2 32.4 10.2-19.4 .526 1.0-4.6 .217 11.0-13.6 .809

- He's taking nearly 5 3's per game (and shooting it HORRIBLY)
- Almost 14 FT attempts per game?? holy fuck O__O!

Which means he's probably shooting 70% or more from within 10 feet... if any team can figure out how to deny him from getting inside Clevland is in some huge trouble =P

yes exactly that is the big question =P ... Orlando presumably can because of Dwight but uh... looks as if they might be falling apart.. we'll see if they can bounce back at home.

that was 100% obvious elbow on purpose. Dunno how anyone can say that and I despise artest (detroit fan)

dwight howard threw an elbow FORWARDS into dalemberts' face, pretty different than whipping one backwards when the play was still going on

To me that elbow looked so unintentional and light I doubt anyone can call it "serious". Sure Kobe may have broken a rule but the NBA has to consider intent and the entire play on that call. Either way the NBA is inconsistent so this will be a major fuck up anyway. Ejecting Ron Artest after he was constantly complaining was a very bad call imo.

kobe was moving and a normal pace....then EXPLODES his elbow up into artests face out of obvious frustration.

I think maybe he thought his elbow would be more as a push off then a blatant attack. I had to wake up at 530am for work EST, but I couldn't stop watching that game.

You can possibly say the refs rig the game for LA either. Did you see all the quick fouls they picked up in the 4th? They were in serious trouble with 9min left and HOU to be shooting FTs the rest of the game. "Luckily" the shitfest broke out.

dwade is unstoppable if he drives.

so atlanta clogged the lane and made him shoot jumpers.

atlanta won.

pretty sure atlanta's doing the samething for lebron,

except it wont work.

Matchup wise lebron is a little different than wade.

would it be because lebron can take five steps and lower his shoulder into three defenders on the way to the rim?

Chris Broussard is a dumbass: "CLEVELAND -- Let me start by saying this: I don't expect it to happen. I would be shocked if it did, and it would be an achievement so remarkable that everything else that's occurred this season would pale in comparison."

Yes so amazingly remarkable, the Lakers did the exact same thing in 2001? WOW BIG FEAT Clevaland, and I'm sure a ton of other teams have done it too. So winning 1 extra game (since just a few years ago they made first round bo7) makes it somehow a LOT more amazing?!

I FEEL LIKE WHEN DISCUSSING LEBRON WE NEED TO JUST USE ALL CAPS BECAUSE EVERYTHING HE IS ATTACHED TO SOMEHOW GAINES +10 IMPORTANCE POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

People who think Kobe accidently ˈthrü the elbow are the reason why superstar treatment exists in the nba. Like mj's push off.

Try to push off something with your elbow at that angle.

Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.

vs the jazz in the finals in '99 (i think). Mj could take a good 3-4 steps in his day as well.
