    its the coach's job to adjust his offense to his players. How many plays were run for Jamison, or Mo

    LOL what I really hate about the NBA is how people equate team success with the player, like it's all the player's fault if they lose or all his credit if they win. There are 9 other players on the court, a single guy can only do so much. As if MJ and Kobe didn't benefit from having stacked teams who could make the playoffs without them all the time.

    Did not get it done? The guy had 27 pts on 21 attempts, 19 rebs and 10 assists. And he was facing PP, KG, Allen, Perkins and Rajon Rondo with an "awesome foursome" of Delonte West, old Shaq, Z and Jamison?

    Now all of a sudden he's some type of choker? But yeah, disregard the fact that even in this game LBJ had the most efficient game on the court or that Pierce was held to 4-13 shooting. Well I hope Cleveland fans villify him as much as you and run him out of town forgetting the fact that he was the sole reason they made the playoffs in the first place. Hopefully DM the GM will be ready to pounce with a S&T package.

    Because they weren't using him the way they were supposed too. Jamison can hit the 3 pretty effectively and they had him pound it inside way to many times. He may be a PF but he is more versatile then Cleveland knows.

    Kobe won a championship last year without his pinky on the shooting hand. I think that's enough to end this discussion.

    I saw 2 big men pack the lane and LBJ had no path to the hoop. He had to count on his jumper all night long.
    It can be very ugly.

    40%, and LBJ shot 35% in the same year against Celtics.
    At least get the fact straight.

    Because he's too selfish to give up stats?
    He doesn't have to control the ball as much as he did. And he won't have as many assists. But then how would he make teammates better without those assists?

    Let's check, Butler, Ariza and Brown played like decent players after practicing with Kobe. And Hughes, Mo, Jamison and Shaq are like **** once in Cleveland.

    You don't think that has something to do with LBJ's ballhogging?

    No excuses, Lebron didnt get it done. Kobe sperm gurglers sipping on his nut wine have their right to voice up now.

    Looking at the box score I"m gonna go ahead and say it. LEBRON THREW THIS GAME! His 9 turnovers were the difference in this game and when has he ever turned the ball over that much. He is a piece. Never want him on my team.

    If anybody who seriously watch both Kobe and lebron religiously and has the nerve to say Kobe is better, I really don't know what to say. Lebron is the best player right now.

    Kobe is a better winner. But lebron still has a long ways to go in his career.

    Until Lebron develops..

    a) A reliable, consistent, and unstoppable jumper
    b) A killer instinct and focus with the win at all cost mentality

    I cant put him in the same class as Jordan and Kobe.

    If Lebron adds both a and b, which the other two guys had, he can surpass them both because he has a better feel for the game and also has a significant physical edge.
