    Alright, we all know Lebron has been awful so far in the playoffs. 19% shooting, but the stupid ESPN analysts that always rip on Tmac immediately said, "Oh, its really not Lebron's fault. His team hasn't been doing anything."

    (sorry accidently pressed submit) Anyway, think about what they would be saying if Tmac went 19%??? It has always been the same case with Tmac where his team sucked but he played great yet the analysts claim he isn't a playoff player, doesn't make his team better, ect...

    Yet Lebron has one of the worst playoffs performances in the history of the NBA and they blame it on the team. Ridiculous

    It's LeBron. What do you expect. I remember they had a discussion over if LeBron was going to be as good or better than Jordan one time.

    DUDE ROFL...I WAS IN THE SHOWER RIGHT AFTER THE CAVS GAME AND I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING..

    Stephen A Jackson goes, his teammates need to show up..trying to explain why he is currently in the 4rth spot for the worst playoff shooting performance in a series. When T-MAC drops 40, 10, 5 on 50%+ you don't hear too much drama about him do you? And Lebron's teammates are a handful better than ours and he always gets treated like the pet just like cassel said. Even though the analysts on ESPN were just like yea..he did all he could...they kinda showed an implication that he should have done more

What can you expect from a bunch of ****heads like Jalen Rose, Stephen A....except John Barry hes the only non **** head i guess lol

    The play-by-play game tonight called Chandler one of the best blockers in the league. Too bad, Chandler only averaged 1.1 blocks in the season and was No.48 BEST blocker in the ranking.

    Last I checked, everyone in the media pretty much gave T-Mac a free pass this year for his failure in the playoffs and acknowledged he did the best he could.

    Some of you need to get your panties out of a wad.

    They also couldn't finish a sentence without mentioning McGrady's 4th quarter disappearing acts, but when LeBron doesn't show up the entire game, it's suddenly ok.

    How can anyone justify 19% shooting, 4rth worst of all time and blame it on teammates! You have the 4rth best playoff performer, TMAC, and you throw everything on him...double standards FTW!

    John Starks was on Sirius this week, talked about lots of stuff.
    Made the Kobe comparison and said if Tmac was strong mentally as Kobe he'd be on the same level as Kobe.

    There's only one way for Tmac to change his legacy..
    we wait every year for it to happen.

    I understand BSPN, but our fans are a lot worse. They SEE the man play night in night out, and fail to put him in the top 10 overall players RIGHT NOW.

    I doubt they acctually watched Dwight howard in more than 3 games. They can all go to hell. It's a lost cause.

    I notice how Lebron doesn't get a worst of the night on Daily Dime when he shot 6/24 for 21pts and had more turnovers(7) than field goals or assists.

    I also remember he got a best of the night after their LOSS in Game 5 when Caron Butler had identical numbers and the game winning layup.

    Another thing nobody notices is last year against the Pistons he completely stunk it up except for the 48pt explosion in Game 5. It was his TEAM that carried him in that series. Daniel Gibson with 30+ pt games. Let's see Head do that. Forget 30, I'd be cool with 15 from Head.

    No way T-Mac could put up the numbers Lebron have been putting up these past 2 games and not get crucified. I'd be shocked if he isn't assassinated if he ever finishes a game with those.

    LeBron also single-handedly beat the Pistons last season and got his team to the Finals. Yeah he plays in the Leastern Conference, but so did T-Mac for several years in Orlando and he couldn't even win a playoff series.

    LeBron's earned the benefit of the doubt. T-Mac hasn't.

    Its funny that the east sucked right after Tracy left. Lebron had never had to play the first seed in the 1st round, and did you se trac's teammates in orlando? haha all d-league stars i guess :p

    The East has actually sucked for a long time. Even when the Bulls three-peated the 2nd time around, it was awful(at least after '96 when Shaq bolted to L.A.).
