    As much as I can't stand KG, and how pretty much everyone he plays against seems to say he is a bully and DBag, love his passion.
    Always motivated and pushes his teammates, goes out and high fives every single guy...even the trainers/staff.

    I actually thought Scola and Bosh would have VERY similar numbers this year but Bosh has James/Wade while Scola has AB/Kev...BIG difference.

    As I said, he can have more of an impact on this team with his rebounding and defense than the scoring. And there is no excuse for not performing in that area. Good players make an impact in other ways if their scoring isnt there.

    for him to change his way of playing offensively, it will affect his defense and rebounding. he has to adjust, and the adjustment is taking longer than expected. and it might take months.

    look, this is a guy coming off as a first option in everything and he was the man. it takes time to go from that to 3rd wheel and do more of the "dirty" work.

    the mentality is different.

    LeBron would have gotten the same call there... a blocking foul. They almost never give you that charge 10 ft above the 3 pt line.

    Poor excuse. Offense can take time but rebounding and defending the post as a PF/C with his talent caliber should not be an issue.

    Its not that mentality is different.

    He is mentally weak.

    Great game by Lebron so far, hopefully Miami go on with it in the fourth.

    gasol was hella soft his first year defensively. but they were so great offensively that they could overcome it. it took gasol one year to become a tougher defensive player.

    and he became a 2nd option, not 3rd.

    remember how yao's offensive games always determine his other parts of the game. you underestimate how sometimes the involvement in offense can determine oter parts of the game. bosh was never a player who did the dirty work.

    You are going to defend a mentally weak player by using another mentally weak player as an example?

    Eh....ok.

    True that.

    It was a good call in the spirit of the game, so I really like the call. but a bad call in technical perspective.
