    No one is hating on LeBron. In fact I'm kinda happy that it wasn't the old script of LeBron getting knocked out and being the scapegoat.

    However, some posters like Sactown needs to grow a pair and take defeats like a man. Hell, even goodbug posts after horrible Kobe games.

    With that said, I'm happy for the guy. Now all he needs to prove is being able to win a close game

    It's one of the few American cities that actually has any meaningful history. Of course when you go back far enough, you'll eventually dig up enough dirt.

    But, Lebron hasn't had a horrible game all playoffs. He's averaging 33 points per game bro. I have a life outside of the board, I'm not here every single game bro.

    I still don't think the heat can beat the Thunder, but I'm satisfied that people are finally coming around on Lebron. He isn't a bad guy, and he's an amazing basketball player who doesn't deserve all this ridicule. My work here is done.

    We'll see. I don't think game 6 is representative of LeBron at all. He'll likely have to work a lot harder Saturday as usual. If he doesn't get help in the 1st half, he'll tired out in the 2nd half (unless he's totally unconscious again which is doubtful). It's almost a shame all game 6 does is yield a game 7 with even more pressure. For fans, it's totally awesome. One side will be completely crushed when they are the losing end. I hope it's very close and goes down to the wire and either LeBron or PP is guarding the other.

    Obviously game 6 isn't representative b/c the dude put up a historic night. Only ONE GUY in history besides Lebron put up these types of numbers (Wilt). Lebron won't likely this repeat this in maybe another 7-8 games (he did put up 40/18/9 just 7 games ago v. the Pacers).

    But the guy is averaging 31/10/5. Expect those numbers though.

    I do expect Boston's best punch though. And hopefully Miami responds with its best effort also.

    We all know he can play like this and he did in the past. This doesn't change a thing about his reputation unless he repeats this kind of performance in a close game 7 and in the Finals.

    Pretty sad and petty to do something like that. I like how James didn't overreact to the stupidity. He can win over a lot of fans if the Heat end up winning the ship and remains humble. Hopefully, Hakeem talked about that with him.

    Sactown..you might wanna show some humbleness and humility.

    Dude, Utah is just as bad... I remember a stint where Derek Fischer's daughter had like cancer or something and a fan made a joke about it with some sign or something, I'm not sure if it was Derek Fischer or not but they went that far b4.... Houston is probably the only city where fans don't react to a godamn thing... We are practically sitting ducks/zombies at Toyota Center...

    Cowherd/Dan Le Batard on ESPN radio saying something I've said for a while now. Lebron is completely overworked on BOTH ENDS. No player in recent memory has been asked to do what he does on both ends on a nightly basis (control the offense, anchor the defense at 200% intensity). Spo and Riley are running this guy to the ground. He needs help to prolong his career, which is what he came to Miami for.

    You guys seriously thought Boston was going to beat Miami?? Stern won't let that happen. We are getting the Finals that everybody wanted since opening day on Christmas...

    Last night was like back in Cleveland, except that LeBron had to do Varejao's job also.
