    Isn't it technically a Russian billionaire's team?

    He played lousy this series. No defending that.

    But no one ever had this complaint about him his entire career. No one saw this in any other playoff series he's been in.

    I think it's a bit knee jerk to say this series, this past week, is who he is. It's not like a pattern we've seen w/ Tmac. Time will tell if LBJ will do this again.

    Loser? lmao. Now I know it's not just McGrady. Over here anybody who doesn't win a championship is labeled a quitter and a loser. Gtfo with that bull****. Hakeem spoiled a lot of you.

    If LeBron goes and they waive their rights to Shaq, they're actually going to be slightly below the cap.

    Bad news is, FAs don't want to live in Cleveland.

    If they are forced to S&T LeBron to an under the cap team like Chicago, they probably will get a young guy, draft pick(s), and a TE back.

    But they'll still be a 35 win team.

    it was the same case with michael jordan. he was never regarded as the best player until he won a ring (it was magic or larry bird).

    lebron james is on the same path. hopefully he'll end up with the same results. he's still only 25 and you can tell he's hungry. hopefully he will elevate his game to higher levels and continue to destroy the league. great player to watch, but he will have to get through the bumps and bruises before he achieves team glory.

    I bet you Cleveland is kicking themselves for not trading for Amare rather than Antwan "1-10" Jamison.

    All Cleveland needed to give up was JJ Hickson! WTF?

    JJ didn't play a lick in this series!

    that last turnover was just bad i mean it was as if he just threw that ball away on purpose for a guy that has such great vision how could he make such a terrible pass at that stage of the game...even as i was watching the play unfold i kept thinking he isnt going to passing that over the baseline past 3 celtic defenders, but he did.


    yeah he put up the numbers, but really outside of rebounding it didnt seem like he had an impact on the game. when they needed a rebound the most he didnt sell his body out to get it on the floor and let garnett slowly pick up the ball. he got points but it was a very passive scoring game and he didnt score really until the last quarter on some pull jumpers which is the worst shot he cant take (given his immense talents).

    i am not saying he quit in this game like he did in game 5 but i have seen lebron play in meaningless regular season games with more passion than he did tonight.



    congrats to the celtics they played their butts of and we just saw rondo become a top 5 pg before our eyes. the magic/celtics series will be far more competitive then that cavs/magic would have been.

    He has part ownership but yes the Russian owns the majority. Also Jayz said that he will be much more into running the team next season. **** gonna heat up. I really can't stand Lebron or Jayz. They deserve each other.

    oh god, some really good posters pulling stuff out of nowhere tonight.

    you seriously believed lebron played with little passion tonight?

    and you seriously believe a guy as talented as he is cannot make a bad pass?

    where is common sense when you need it?

    But Ferry is a genius!

    This is why I don't frequent RealCavsFans that much. Too much kool-aid drinking. At least we have rational people around here to keep the homers in check.

    He never did develop a honest jumpshot all season. When a good defensive team shuts down the lane, you need one, and you cant make up for it with passion

    Not sure that they have any pieces to entice Lebron, Devin Harris included. Not to mention that its New Jersey, of all places. Him moving from Clevend to NJ would be like moving from Oakland to Ciudad Juarez.
