    LeBron just pulled a Chuck Hayes on Kobe then got a Chuck Hayes pulled on him.

    LeBron's Chuck move was of the cooler variety though. He just yanked the ball away. Ariza just slapped it away from him.

    Well we know if they were playing against Houston they would get those calls.

    Let me also add the Lakers have gotten some home cooking tonight. LeBron has been smacked around repeatedly despite attacking the rim. I'm not sure it would have affected the outcome of the game. The Cavs just didn't have it tonight and the Lakers played with energy on defense and used their size advantage.

    Using this one game to say Kobe is definitely better than LeBron is just silly.

    Have you been watching the game or do you only count dunks as highlights?

    Lot of contact on James for sure but he is a horrible FT shooter, so no point.

    I wish Tmac could defend as hard as LeBron or Kobe.

    Ok now it's Game Over.

    Lebron is only a tad bit better than Kobe. Both are world class.

    to be fair, lebron has just thrown himself into defenders with their hands up several times tonight looking for a call. he hasn't gotten some calls but he's also rightfully been denied a few.

    kobe is playing with a dislocated ring finger and a torn ligament on the pinky... the question is what would t-mac do if he had the same injuries?

    When Ariza smacked the ball out of lebron's hands, lebron grabs his eye like he just got poked. On the replay, Ariza's hand was no where near his face. :rolleyes:

    One more game to prove how pathetic LeHype is.

    I also laughed at how he fakes injury after every TO.

    I know. He was just talking about playing with it (finger) throught the season; and he said he needed to get used to pain and adjust his shot in order to get his shooting % up. maybe he's playing up for the cameras, but he's definitely tougher than you know

    (edit:he had 9 in the fourth. Kobe is dirty)

    Since neither team could really shoot well from the free throw line (CLE-12/19, LAL-7/15), it only seemed proper for the refs to just let the guys play. They called a combined total of just 31 personal fouls.

    Lebron did get more free throw attempts than Kobe (8-3), but only made 4 while Kobe only made 1.

    Kobe made ridiculous shots in the 4th quarter AGAIN. It's so frustrating for opposing teams' fans to see his crazy fadeaways or parking lot heaves go in. The guy is just built to finish games. LeBron got seriously owned on that Jordan move Kobe pulled on the baseline...it was a thing of beauty.
