We gotta get back to playing tough-ass Defense

I know nothing about basketball and Atenears is right.

You're wrong, Masters. And you clearly know nothing about basketball.

You're a completel Retard if you don't think you can get triple doubles with selfish play. That's sixth grader ideals. If you want to impress people, you will try enough for rebounds and assists to get a triple double. You sound like a xxxxin' thirteen year old with LeBron's Wal-Mart replica jersey on. Be a real basketball fan.

Bottom line -- he got 52 in New York because he WANTED 52... he got 55 in Milwaukee because it was HAPPENSTANCE.

Learn the difference, rookie. If you can't tell the difference, you have some real soul searching to do in terms of whether you're a real basketball fan or not.

LMFAO..... Yeah, I know nothing about basketball. You watched both games with the typical CLE fan/hater goggles on. James took as many bad 3pt attempts against MIL as he did against the Knicks (you could watch the hightlights to see that, but obviously you watch those with the same detail as games). He just made them against MIL. Or do you suddenly think shooting 3's 5-10 feet behind the 3 point arc are good shot selection? Who is a complete Retard? Oh yes, you. Which is obvious since that is what you have to go to in a discussion. Name calling. Always the sign of a brilliant mind.

Dude, I've been watching basket ball since the late 70's. The only person sounding like a 13 year old is you. Since you can't spell complete and go to name calling. Nor can you tell the difference between bad shot selection falling and not falling. Two months ago, you were probably sure James was going to the Nets, then the Knicks, but now are sure he'll stay. A month from now, if CLE loses 2 in a row, you'll probably think the sky is falling. Probably thought trading for Shaq would have been a good idea too

I didn't change your post, I figured you did. I was completely fine agreeing to disagree.

You have a anti-Kobe fetish and are reaching here, we all understand. There wasn't any need to alter your post and act like others did it for you.

Masters, why the asshole act-like-you-know-it-all attitude? There was nothing among this forum to warrant this bullshit.

CIMO.

Eh. He obviously played a better game in Milwaukee, and he probably did have more on his mind than the W in New York. He was playing selfish...but at least how I saw it, he was playing to carry the team. Mo was terrible, Ben and Varejao were non-existent, Delonte and Pavlovic were out. It was a night LeBron felt like he had to do everything, and he had the big stage. But he still shot 50% from the field, knocked down his free throws and got a triple double (kind of). Even if he was selfish and some people hated watching the game (I still loved it)...at the very least it's a show of what he's capable of.

And the Milwaukee game was great.

Oh yeah. Tough defense.

I didn't change it, so I figured you did. You are the only mod I recognize on this side of the board and the only one in this discussion. If you didn't do it, I appologize. I don't post lame crap like that post got changed to.

Again, sorry for thinking it was you.

I didn't think I had an attitude until you took the "you obviously didn't watch the game" sarcastic remark (and by the way, I did watch it). Or until DT called me a Retarded 13 year old who doesn't know basketball.

When watching both the NY game and the MIL game, I saw the same thing. Lebron playing heat check 5-10 feet behind the 3pt arch, taking shots he really shouldn't take (but he does that stuff all the time). The only differences are that in MIL they fell, it wasn't MSG, and Kobe didn't just have a big night there the night before. As CIMO rightly pointed out, no one else on the team in the NY game even showed up, as far as their shooting. Yet those others got plenty of shots and James got to a triple double (or near after the fact). To me, the NY game was far more Jordan-esc than the MIL game. When CLE needed James to carry them, he did. Not just with his scoring, but his court vision and rebounding.

When I hear that being called selfish in NY, it seems like people have never watch AI, Star-berry, Melo (before Chauncy got to DEN) play, or Kobe play (especially his night before James's). I would go as far as to guarantee that if Kobe hadn't played in MSG the night before James, and James still played the same game, not a person would have been calling it selfish.

That's exactly it CIMO. Sure Lebron wanted to put on a better show than Kobe did. No doubt about it. But if carrying your team on a night they needed you to is selfish, I'll take that every day. If James was a selfish player, we'd be seeing a lot more nights like he had at MSG, even when the team is healthy, or contributing.
