When did I say he sucked? I'm just saying it's quite obvious why he assisted or scored 32 straight points...
A lot of pressure has just shifted over to Orlando. Game 6 is almost a Game 7 for them in the sense that they don't want to come back to Cleveland. Not only would they have to play on the road if it does go to 7 but the Cavs will have all the momentum to whatever extent momentum exists. They will certainly have the psychological edge in that scenario. Orlando needs to bear down and finish this off at home.
If T-mac able to lead his teams deep into playoffs, he will be mentioned as one of the greatest! But he never led his teams past 1st round and to make matter worst his team past 1st round wihtout him. The commentators hyped Lebron and that's Lebron's fault???? Lebron was overhyped before he even came to the league but he put up 20/5/5 in his rookie season and not like 13/8 by you know who and from there he is a real deal and not hyped!
It looked like Hedo guarded LeBron better than Pietrus. Even Rashard had it good a couple of times. Maybe they need to put more length against LeBron.
but he did and they succeeded, he can score and he can pass thats why, there clearly aren't players on their team who can score at will or make great plays, Lebron does both.
I hope i missed your sarcasm - cause I thought it was because he scored a basket or passed to a teammate But yeah until he learns to score or assist without the ball, then all these stats are questionable at best. You remind me of the YOF's in 2005 who claimed that Mike James was hurting the team by freezing out Yao and taking too many three pointers despite hitting 45% of them and hitting 55% from the field, because even though he was making them, he might not have made them, accordingly he shouldn't be taking open shots that he was making.
All road team that lead series 3-1 lose Gm 5 but win Gm 6 to close the series. That's the NBA history. So, the Magic will close out in 6, exactly as I have expected. The Magic almost took this one too. With bad start and missed FTs, the Magic got back in the game and even had the lead momentarily. But Alston, the man of horror, won the game for the Cavs. The result might be different if SVG stayed with Anthony Johnson in the whole 4th quarter.
Orlando, to date, has 5 road victories in the playoffs and has thus proven that they can win on the road. Plus, don't forget that they closed out the last 2 series on the road.
Meh. I'm just a LeBron hater. I don't like it when the media drools over him (or anyone). It's like they forgot Cleveland is still down 3-2. But yes, his performance tonight was very impressive.
I wasn't aware they have been that good on the road. Anything can happen but they really don't want to have to find out if they can get their 6th road win of the postseason. I expect them to play with a lot more desperation in Game 6. If it goes to 7, I would definitely put my money on the Cavs.
Not saying you are actually a Lebron hater, but i was just curious... If you hate the media "hyping" a player, shouldnt the hate be directed towards the media and not the player? For instance I hate how the media use to constantly talk about tiger woods etc (because i hate golf as tv sports or golfer as athletes or that golf is even a sport ) but that didnt cause me to hate Tiger woods, rather just gave me reason to hate the media. (or change the channel when anything tiger related was being discussed)
I know the Lebron-haters-because-of-the-hype are going to love this one. Bill Simmons tweet: Tony Montana had more help in the last scene of "Scarface" than LeBron did tonight. We are all witnesses.
what's impressive about lebron is that his performance today didn't even surprise me...i expect these kind of games from him. respect.
It's funny, you don't like the media coverage Lebron gets, but you still allow it to hold such great influence on your percerption of him. Interesting.
With performnces like we see from Lebron, it is ok to drool over him. It is deserved. What else is the media supposed to cover exactly?
