I'm just appalled by LBJ's "I spoil the fans". STFU, you spoil the fans when you win multiple championships and they think you're gonna just roll through another one, when you actually win one, then start talking shit, till then, shut your mouth, and play. I love LBJ, but his performance was just pathetic, what is with the give up mentality of the NBA the past several seasons, it's pathetic. Thank god for teams that DO have heart.

Shit look at Utah, they were 3-0 and they still came out and tried to play, down by 22, and they cut the lead back. losing by 43 Hawks? giving up 3 minutes into the game James? These players should be ashamed of themselves, getting paid millions of dollars and having fans pay thousands of $$$ to come to their playoff games for what. to see their star sitting on the bench.

I now have autographs of both BoxeR and NaDa. I can die happy. Lim Yo Hwan and Lee Yun Yeol FIGHTING forever!

I cannot wait to watch the officiating in thursday's game. Lebron is gonna have around 200 foul shots.

Haha, yeah he's going to drive in hard and be pissed so bad, I think. I also think he's going to bounce back, I mean, he's had bad games before and then the media and everyone started to blame him for his lack of passion. Triple double game, but Celtics still advance :D

how do you know he will? today he was supposed to come out with a vengeance, but didn't

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.




He had all the motivation in the world. A must win Game 5 on your home floor? What else do you need.

Outplayed by the Celtics PG while they still have 3 Hall of Famers and a possible one coming off the bench? Play your best period. Screw what the idiots in the media say about the Celtics. They started off the season 27-3 AND won on opening night in YOUR building.

This is the same team that in Game 1 outplayed you for 30 minutes, with a good spark by Mo Williams that saved you. In Game 2 the Celtics did the same thing but held on. That should worry you enough.

In Game 3 the Celtics mailed it in. In Game 4 Rondo comes out and drops a historic Triple Double and overshadows your entire team.

Listen, the reason why I say LBJ is great but not elite or better than Wade and Kobe partially has to do with stuff like this. After Kobe, Wade is one of the few players that's wired with the Jordan instinct - if he's going to lose like Charles Barkley said the clip will be empty at night. Wade dropped 46 on his elimination game and pretty much played 1 vs 5 all series with his heart on the floor every night. Lebron has a far better team and injured or not he isn't playing like he wants to win it all. There are no excuses.

I hope for LeBron's sake that he breaks MJ's playoff scoring record at the Garden tomorrow, or else Clevland is starting their summer early.

Not sure how anyone can have such a hate hard-on for the guy.
Seems like an amazing guy and is an amazing basket ball player.
Not really much more to it than that.

Don't read ESPN they really have it out for him. One minute they love him the next minute they are tearing him apart.

As always it's initiated by a few loud mouthed individuals trying to bully the forum into a false state of consensus. It's one of the more damaging acts you can do on a social forum, and I'm not sure whether it's more amazing they feel no remorse whatsoever or that it's condoned.

There's room for being a fan without being a trashy human being. Lebron sucks for these reasons? Fine. You're an idiot if disagree with me? Not so fine.


And Celtics, if you can play this way why did you mail in the second half of the season? Doesn't ubuntu include the fans? And trading for Nate "DNP" Robinson when Eddie House can support team Rondo?

I don't like LeBron because he has a poor ass attitude. What else reason do I need? Yeah, you can go out and score at will, but if you're going to be a baby when things don't go your way then forget you.

seems like people expect too much from 25 year old professional athletes on the attitude front. given all the stuff we know about the private lives of these guys, it seems that the baseline expectation of how they behave is pretty low. the public front that they put up for the media is just that, a front. say the right things, do the right things, a part of the job, a part of building your image and brand. it isn't a huge deal to me if lebron or anyone else breaks the proper behavior code and does something unexpected. it actually makes things more interesting.

i think we all know where the lebron hate comes from. people feel he gets too much recognition, because their team/favorite player isn't getting enough. whether this is the impending fail celtics or the kobe and 4 useless dudes lakers, this lebron kid hasn't won anything!!1 this is expected, but unreasonable.

all the star players since forever have glaring flaws and an underside. it takes marketing and image building to make them into transcendental figures. they have to be packaged in the right kind of way, so the fans can get an "official view" of the player without the flaws. however, when the reality that the player has flaws/isn't a greek god appears, the player either has to be repackaged or simply be ignored until he does something good again. but it is the same way with every other star player. yes, kobe included. if you seriously care about who is the better basketball player, you should be able to keep a fair view of the player, and this includes seeing through the obvious marketing and sportswriter storymaking stuff.

but people probably care more about their favorite team more than anything, so there is no reason for them to give lebron a fair hearing.

6 of 30? that's more of a kobe statline.

but yeah lebron deserves all the criticism. he should just say it was his fault they lost game 5 and then go and deliver in the next game instead of saying stupid things like,

“I spoil a lot of people with my play. When you have three bad games in seven years, it’s easy to point them out."

the guy is full of himself...self righteous ass
