the cavs are worse than i thought. lebron has NO help there, man. they coasted on the east coast. this series should really be 3-0 now if not for that game 2 miracle. magic in 5.

It's true. I don't think anyone can definitely say that he'll sign an extension this summer because that team is pretty terrible without him. I'd imagine that's something he thinks about

Mo Williams is a slight upgrade over Nate Robinson, and he is their number 2 option. Big Z is food right now to the Magic. That Frankenstein lookin' cat is getting manhandled and abused by everyone. Ben Wallace is just a six foul guy at this point. Boobie Gibson was a flash in the pan. Varejo? Wally Z?

Basically, the Cavs are being exposed as a one man show and you have to give credit to the Magic players and to Van Gundy. They are really exposing these cats right now.

This is definitely a great development in the Lebron in 2010 scenario.

without a doubt. all of the cleveland defense talk is slowly evaporating too, they can't stop turkoglu pick and roll to save their life, and rashard lewis is cutting them up too.

honestly, mo williams and delonte west are their only serviceable NBA players. 2 undersized shooters/scorers who basically can play because lebron is so big and dominant. yesterday they played 1 on 5 for the entire 2nd half, and even lebron can't win like that. the gentleman thief + MSG > mike brown + quicken loans arena and a bunch of scrubs

at the end of the day, you need playmakers in the playoffs. and 1 guy can't do it alone. even mj needed pippen. mo williams is putting up a chris duhon type performance.

i agree that the cavs sucking this bad will go a long way towards our 2010 goal.


did anyone just see that c. andersen block?? insane, dude.

Mo Williams = Overrated Bum.

Mo Williams = That Kid in Middle School that Cried to His Mom to Get Put on the Basketball Team

How much did the cavs have to whine and cry for him to be put on the all-star team? worst all-star ever, even more horrible than magloire back in the early 2ks.

it's true that he is slightly better than nate robinson.

damn, Balkman looked like they just pulled somebody off the street and into the game right there. Gasol didnt even give an effort in swattin his stuff.

That's the not same guy that was on the Knicks. He hasn't been right IMO since his injury.

The guy did drugs, got clean and came back to the NBA. What's the problem?

Now ESPN is celebrating Chris Anderson. Hey kids do some drugs which may or may not include trying to set up a meth house for yourself say you're sorry when you're caught and continue to self promote yourself and you can reap the benefits.

While I diagree, since I am all for giving guys 2nd chances, it's times like this that ESPN just annoys the **** out of me. Yeah, it's great that Birdman "seems" to be on the right path but can we give him more than 1 season before we start praising him as someone who turned their life around? I mean honestly.

Hey I have no problem with giving guys a 2nd chance but I keep hearing redemption. How can one redeem themselves if they can't admit what they did. People and the media seemed to have more issue with Josh Howard for just talking about smoking pot in the offseason then they do with what Birdman did and his constant refusal to even admit what type of drug, the depth of his use and how it effected his life. His mother out right said he is being honest with himself and now the guy is getting celebrated over and over. Don't you think some kids in Texas could benefit from his disclosure and what meth did to his life. Him jokingly saying don't do drugs is horrible.

That was almost as bad as an elbow to the throat. The big difference is Kobe didn't get ejected.

I was talking about Kobe/Artest.
