    He was camping the 3 point line.

    He was chucking up contested shots.

    He looked like he didn't even want to be there.

    It sure looked like he would rather be in NY.


    I am getting really nervous about our draft picks...

    Yeah where was the hunger. I have taken up for him but tonight I don't know he just didn't seem normal in terms of body language.

    I expect for him to come out attacking in Game 6 though.

    Don't be. If anything, those picks will be moved this summer for a free agent. Then it'll be some other team's trash.

    As for the original question, I don't think so. If anything, how LeBron plays in Game 6 will be more telling. I never thought the Cavaliers were all that good until the traded for Jamison. Even with that trade, however, it seems like they still aren't that good. I don't know what it is (I'd like to blame the drinking water in Ohio) but it's SOMETHING.

    I dont know if he quick or not, but man did he look like he didnt give a rats ass about the game. Even if his elbow was hurting him I didnt see this type of game coming from him. But I cant think of one reason why he wouldnt care about winning this game.

    That was pathetic. Unless it turns out something is really wrong with his elbow, then there is no excuse. He is too gifted to have a game like this.

    If Cleveland loses this series, the chances of LeElbow joined Knee-Mac have just gone a little higher.

    Assuming Lebron bolts for the big apple, next year's pick should be mid 1st and 2012's pick bottom 20s. Morey can still produce decent role players with those but yea kind of a downer that they aren't going to be gold.

    Check out what some of the Cavs fans think of tonight.

    "You dont come this far to **** on Cleveland like this. We embraced you. We were there when everybody hated you in every other city. We made you here in Ohio, **** YOU.

    I cant wait til the media in NY eat his quantum singularity up when he come out playin like this"

    "If LeBron gives another effort like this and then leaves, I'll personally make sure he doesn't play for another team."

    "If the Brick fans think LeBron is going to bring them a title, they obviously didn't watch this series."

    "Cleveland doesn't deserve this LeBron."

    "Ive been watching the Cavs since 2001, so since I was 10 years old. Ive supported Ricky Davis and those terrible years. And never once felt betrayed like I do right now, ive supported LeBron since day 1 with the Cavs and this mutha****a looks like he doesnt give a ****. Like what Gouri said last game, I think this dude is really in it all for himself."

    Credit goes to larsv8 for these quotes.

    I dont know but if thats his last game ever in Cleveland, after that performance, Lebron will be crucified by the fans.

    For Lebron's sake, I hope he did have quite a bit of discomfort/pain in his elbow tonight. Otherwise, there's absolutely no excuse to half ass it like he did this game. Athlete's that mail it in like McGrady and Lebron (for this game) make me sick. You're getting paid millions of dollars, you better have a god damn good excuse for not even trying.

    I agree with the other quotes, but where does this fan get off on this one? lol. I don't remember Lebron getting "hated" on in every other city. Huh?

    Even Kobe mailed it in game 7 against the Suns a few years back. I guess even superduper stars can have games like these.

    Of course doesnt make it right.

    Even if his elbow truly hurt THAT bad, there was no excuse for LeBron to deliver such a ****ty performance. He's no better than T-Mac if he bolts to NY before bringing a championship to Cleveland.

    Yeah, you should see some of the posters after are multiple first round exits at the hands of the Jazz lead by T-Mac.

    But I think LeBron will not go to New York, but probably the Nets, I hope so.

    Tinman, how would you feel about LeBron if he did that to the Rockets?

    Would you be calling him right now currently?

    Yep, I made a thread about Kobe quitting in game 7 as well.

    Be careful, R0ckets03. You calling Kobe out on that Game 7 might anger some on here that SWEARS ON THEIR DEAD AUNTIE'S GRAVE that it never happened because it's preposterous to think that a player of Kobe's magnitude and ability can ever mail in a game or quit on his team. :rolleyes:
