    AD got away with a lot of no-calls too, hope the whistles are at least somewhat fair in G2. Almost hope the Rox throw in the towel early and empty the bench if the Zebras/Invisible Hand try and give the Rox an unfair whistle.

    Were all aware of the chase downs lebron is capable of. Still does discount the fact there was no mention of the smart, heady play to stutter him and then finish strong.

    "Great anticipation by Harden and he had to punch that in" isn't enough for you?

    Gordo is ready to protest a call, any call, at the drop of a hat. Waves those arms around like a lunatic. Wants to be sure the refs see him amongst the trees.


    Turner Classic Movies (TCM) had a Charlton Heston day in August, 24 hours of classic films that he was in, usually as the star, of course. Planet of the Apes was one and I parked it on my DVR. Got around to seeing it yesterday during the day. Probably for the 5th or 6th time. Maybe more. Taylor wasn't laughing at the end!

    LeBron is likely in the top three of the greatest BB players of all time. Having said that, that's a lot of quitting in that man when things aren't going right. This dude in the video is correct. LeBron quit. Lakers might have been down 14 with 3 minutes to go, but in the NBA, 3 minutes can be an eternity.

    I thought the same thing. It surprised me. He looked pissed at his team. Not cool. Not cool at all.

    LOL Put some respect on us fool. His disgust indicates he, and I’m sure many other LA fans thought they were going to wipe the floor with us on size alone. He’s spot on LeBron

    Imagine outcry and criticism Harden would have gotten if he scored ZERO points in 4th in any SINGLE game, let alone a playoff game.

    And Lebron has done this 3 times in career.

    I played a streetball game with gordie once. Finally had to just go home. He kept calling his own foul and the score ended 4-4 after 3 hours of playing.

    My brother-in-law who is a Jamaican from Brooklyn is a HUGE Lakers fan (I know right) and he posted on FB after LeBron had that dunk that it was on... so I waited until the end and commented “WAP” We Ain’t Portland!
