Re: 2009 NBA Playoffs.

i know, and i'm not hating or doubting how good he is.. im jsut sick of the media and espn pushing this kobe v lebron match up since the play offs started like it was a foregone conclusion.. and pushing all the jordan comparisons.. who cares! let them play, and let us enjoy the games

this is the first year since jordan retired the second time that i've even had any bit of interest in the nba

Re: 2009 NBA Playoffs.

^ nice point.

as versatile as it is -- i usually turn down the espn and co. after while, and try to watch the games as is (while doing something else).

trying to find a channel where i can access games without the commentaries and glamours; and just the games in real time play. is that possible btw.?

Lebron definitely hurt his ankle last night. He was limping and making faces like he was in pain after he went up for that layup near the end. Reporters asked him if his ankle was hurt, he denied it, but I think otherwise.

Re: 2009 NBA Playoffs.

whatever, its an excuse so when they lose every one can say, well, lebron was hurt, he wasnt himself.. blah blah blah, lol

nuggets are going to win this one

Re: 2009 NBA Playoffs.

i can't believe you guys don't want lebron to win. lebron is a phenominal basketball player and i certainly think he's good for the nba. he is, in his own way, humble but arrogant... and definitely fun as hell to watch. i still hope he can pull out a title because i think he deserves it. he's worked hard to improve all around this year and the nba is a lot more popular with him around. definitely right up there with MJ, imo. his team needs to step up though!

as much as i would prefer to see the nuggets beat the lakers, a big part of me wants to see kobe vs lebron. who wants to bet the games are officiated "a certain way" so we will see that match-up?

Re: 2009 NBA Playoffs.

^nah, just seems that way when the team you want to win looses. The magic will be up against the lakers in the end, but would be cool to see the nuggets beat the lakers. It's over for the cavs this season.

Re: 2009 NBA Playoffs.

im not arguing he's a great talent, but dont crown someone king james when he's done fuck all so far

Re: 2009 NBA Playoffs.

what the hell happened to Prince James? all bent over like he's hurt, lol.. or, just crying because someone actually challenged them?

WTF!?!?! the guy scored 49points and is 23 years old. u cant win on your own....

dont u know a star when u see one. u have to have players around u and on the bench to win in the nba.

he made the cavs turn from garbage into a consistent playoff team...all in his early 20's.

i wouldnt count him out.

Re: 2009 NBA Playoffs.

^ but by the same token, a star can really shine amongst a bunch of sub-par players. If you watch him play with the dream team, kobe's the one that shines more. All the comparison stuff is a bunch of crap between kobe and lebron, they both have different talents in different areas.

He just needs to stand the test of time, comparing him to MJ so early is a mistake too imo.

The best of the best always receives the most criticism though so who knows for sure, he's definitely amazing to watch.

Re: 2009 NBA Playoffs.

is it just me or have these playoffs (Except the last couple games) have been boring as hell. Where are the buzzer beaters??

Re: 2009 NBA Playoffs.

^It is definitely just you, there have been several huge buzzer beaters before the half as well as at the end of games.
