Everybody have their bad nights. It just that Lebron had his bad night tonight. Kobe had a couple of bad nights vs. the Thunder but Gasol and Bynum played very good. The Laker won at the end.

The problem with the Cavs is that Lebron is the only leader. If Lebron plays bad, the Cavs aren't likely to win (at least not against great teams). The Cavs got amazing players and their bench is very good. But there is no other superstar in that team to lead.

it's cause lebron and mike brown wont let them lead. come playoffs it's about lebron getting as many triple doubles as possible while attempting to get a title. They won't let Mo run the point like he should be.

This was the game LeBron was suppose to go off on. I don't know what he possibly could of been waiting for. Hoping for a game7? Tied 2-2 I would consider as good as a must win. The Celtics taking it on the road from the best home team in the league the last two years shows that LeBron isn't as "hungry" as some might have thought he was.

Even though the Cavaliers have been disappointing in the 2nd round, something tells me they can still take the series.

I'm a Suns fan though, go Nash!

I still maintain the Cavs are a fairly scrub team + LeBron.

Mo Williams -- has barely improved since he played for the Bucks. Can't deliver under pressure.
Shaq -- a great player in his day, but he's been well and truly past it for a while now.
Jamison -- good on his day, but still lacks consistency in his game imo.
Anthony Parker -- horrible.

If you take the other teams that are left right now (Suns, Lakers, Celts, Magic) they all have far superior teams. I mean compare it to a team like the Lakers and they pretty much cover the Cavs in every position but SF. Yeah the Cavs may spend big on their cap, but they aren't getting value for money.

for the 2nd straight season the cavs (despite being the best team in the league) will fail to make it to the nba finals..LOL

cavs front office is getting showed up for failing to build a longterm roster while having lbj on contract. the truth is, for the past few years even a max contract to lebron is a very efficient contract. the situation reminds me of the barry bonds years for the giants. they have this top player who is so productive that he covered up a lot of the flaws in the rest of the roster. however, their fortunes are so dependent on that one player that in a short series, their performance is more unstable than other similar strength teams built on multiple stars. this is because, in effect, the cavs are flipping one coin and always needing a head, while the other teams have the luxury of getting away with 2 out of 3.

as for titles and lebron. usually when a player doesn't win, he is underrated, as winning leads to overrating of the star players on the winning team. so the popularity of lebron is probably lower than his actual level of play. nowhere is this more evident than in new york, where people still, by a good majority, think kobe is better. obvious bandwagoning, but also very irritating. bandwagoners rooting for the player that the knicks can't get over a guy that is the hope of the franchise. get real people

hopefully lebron realizes that the cleveland management is fail and take his talents to the lolknicks.

Based on cav's game 5 performance, I would safely say that the probability of Lebron getting a ring this year is next to 0.

I don't get that sense of inevitability from both Lebron and/or the Cavs organization. Like during the 06 and 07 seasons for the Lakers, you know the team sucked except Kobe and Odom, but you also know that Bynum was getting there, and the Lakers organization wasn't just going to sit around and watch their team go into the absolute gutter. It was more of a weather the storm ordeal, and the Lakers during that stretch were still fighting simply by Kobe's will, but you always felt there was going to be a proper end, either Kobe leaving or the Lakers returning to dominance.

These Cavs don't, while they don't feel like the past few years Detroit who regressed, they play like a better version of the 06-07 Lakers, needing Lebron to do everything much like the Lakers needed Kobe to do everything. The problem is that there doesn't seem to be an end in sight for the Cavs organization and Lebron is becoming more delusional by the season. Did anyone catch his post-game conference? How many NBA champs and MVPs deflected questions about his performance like he did with his I-am-fucking-untouchable-from-criticism-bullshit? On top of the fact that Lebron probably won't get on the rest of his team to step up in the next practice like Kobe/MJ would.

Nah, he had no motivation - they won back the home court advantage, it was supposed to be a comfortable game. This game, after all the extreme reactions against him by people in the media (people talking about his elbow more than his game, etc), the fact that Kobe Bryant is playing with a broken finger, injured ankle and knee, and is still winning with ease, and the fact that the talk about his free agency action has resurfaced while he's still playing... There's just that much to motivate him now.

That being said, he can't win the series alone.

Williams is a point guard in a system where the ball is handled by the SF. The fact that he's improved from his Bucks days is amazing considering that. Shaq is past his prime, but his presence and sheer mass still make him one of the better centers in the league. Jamison is a great player as a third offensive option, being used more to spread the floor than anything else, he can't get into a rhythm from that position. Anthony Parker is a solid role-player, not a star. If anything, he makes the most sense out of anyone in the lineup other than LBJ considering Mike Brown's "game plan".

Celtics had it hard this year. Have to win against the Cavs, Magic, then the Lakers (sorry Suns fan but Lakers are likely to win because of their bigs and 24) for the championship.
