would you rather give up an alley oop? you double lebron and the open guy automatically goes to the basket for an alley oop
Well that would have sent it to Overtime instead of a loss to Orlando. But honestly it was just a great shot by LeBron.
also, if they did give up the alley oop, people would be crying about giving that up as opposed to throwing up a contested three fading away... if that happened to us, i would be ok with that kind of shot for the last second
So the defense forced James into a fadeaway 3 footer...and that's bad defense? Sometimes you have to realize who you are playing against. That might actually be the shot that Kobe wants, or Reggie Miller....great shooters. But LeBron?? You live with that all day....
What's beyond me is why you don't understand. The Cavs were down by only 2 points and did not need a 3-point shot. Therefore, the Magic had to guard the entire half-court. (If the lead was 3, the the Magic could have kept all of their players outside the 3-point line). The Cavs spread the floor. If two guys were on LeBron, that would leave 2 defenders for the remaining 3 Cavs. Not a tenable situation.
No, bull ****. I'm just sick of hearing the comparing of Lebron to Mj..... holly ****, he just split with the Magic at home. rafer alston is the PG by the way.. just saying. be happy. but don't think he is the ****. if the lakers were playing him, lebron would have not shot.
Honestly... The Cavaliers are in trouble in this series. I look for Orlando to win the next two games at home.
Late to the discussion, but you got to look at the Cavs team first. Although LeBron isn't a great 3 point shooter, he's so strong and he can have incredible body control in any awkward positions. Mo Williams had 8 points in the 4th quarter, but he's still too inconsistent and too chicken. Not saying it was bad defense. But instead of defending LeBron, I would rather deny him the ball at all cost, even if I might leave whoever open for 3. I'd rather have others beat me. You got give it to LeBron, true MVP. But he must be so frustrated now - how much more do I have to do? The rest of the team can't contribute enough offensively and even worse defensively.
Why so much hate for LeBron, he doesent b**** and whine like Kobe does...there for you do not have a valid reason to hate him. Lebron doesnt go out to the media claiming he's MJ, he cant help that. BTW get the lakers dick out of your ear.
Lebron might be the true mvp..... but he has ACCOMPLISHED ****ING NOTHING.. NICE JOB LEBRON YOU BEAT RAFER ALSTON TONIGHT.
NO MAN IT'S NOT LEBRON... ITS THE PEOPLE WHO THINK HE IS THE GREATEST. THE NEW GENERATION WHO NEVER SAW MJ PLAY
He's not MJ though.... not even close. Doesn't matter if he comes out and says it or not... people can't say he's better than MJ without him at least MATCHING what Michael did for his career. So that's at least 4 more mvps.. 6 chips.. dpoy... A LOT more buzzer beaters... I can go on and on....
