May 31, 200917 yr You're right, no sense in the ifs ands or buts, the Magic were CLEARLY the better team. Hard to argue that. Who is going to? It really wouldn't matter if the Cavs were, as the Magic are in the Finals.
May 31, 200917 yr I wonder why LeBron left the arena without talking to anyone? Maybe the fact that this was his goal for the season. He has worked tirelessly and obsessively since the end of last season to win a title. He has been lied to by the organization who have claimed to have put together a roster that he can win a title with. He should have stayed and did the media thing, but I can't criticize someone for not wanting to. He gave everything he had in this series and it still wasn't enough to win. That has to be disappointing.
May 31, 200917 yr I wonder why LeBron left the arena without talking to anyone? Because he very well may have gone off on his teammates. He is going through the Post Shaq Kobe Bryant stage. The stage when it doesn't matter what you do your teammates just aren't good enough to pick up the slack. I really wanted to see Kobe teach LeBron a thing or two in the finals, but I'll take home court advantage any day. Maybe next year......:idunno: I hope they still run the puppet commercials.
May 31, 200917 yr Maybe the fact that this was his goal for the season. He has worked tirelessly and obsessively since the end of last season to win a title. Which NBA player hasn't? That has to be disappointing. Of course it is for every team that doesn't win the championship..
May 31, 200917 yr Win like a man, lose like a man. Lebron should get blasted for not talking to the media tonight.
May 31, 200917 yr I honestly didn't read your whole post because there isn't a strategy out there that would have beat the Magic. This series very well could have been 4-0. No strategy to beat the 2008-2009 Magic? Really? Not even the 96 Bulls could have beaten them? Because he very well may have gone off on his teammates. He is going through the Post Shaq Kobe Bryant stage. The stage when it doesn't matter what you do your teammates just aren't good enough to pick up the slack. I really wanted to see Kobe teach LeBron a thing or two in the finals, but I'll take home court advantage any day. Maybe next year......:idunno: I hope they still run the puppet commercials. I don't think LeBron is going to say anything to that effect. Does this mean that Kobe is once again far and away better than LeBron again? I'm not a Cavaliers fan and I'm not making excuses. But he had one of the best series in NBA playoff history, he won two games by himself and kept them in 3 of the 4 he lost. Did he play mistake free basketball? No. Does none of the blame get laid at his feet? No, he should get his fair share. But he also plays with a team, that, without him, would have been battling the Kings for the most Ping Pong balls in the lottery. I don't think many NBA greats past or present could have done much better than LeBron did. But that's just me. Which NBA player hasn't? Of course it is for every team that doesn't win the championship.. To answer both questions: Stephon Marbury and the Clippers :thumb: Win like a man, lose like a man. Lebron should get blasted for not talking to the media tonight. It's a big deal and it isn't. He should at least speak to the media, but the fact that he didn't doesn't really say he's a cry baby. JMO. Lakers in 6. Kobe Bryant wins the NBA Finals MVP, Phil gets ring #10. Let the Kobe vs. Jordan discussions begin. :ohbrother:
May 31, 200917 yr Which NBA player hasn't? Of course it is for every team that doesn't win the championship.. It's been an obsession of LeBron's since they lost to the Celtics last year. He should have talked to the media, but he didn't. I'm sure, he would have gotten blasted by a few either way. Can't wait to hear what Skip Bayless says about him tommorrow.

Don't get me wrong I like the Lakers chances.

May 31, 200917 yr Is that not every NBA players obsession? As I said before, for some reason, I think Stephon Marbury, any of the members of the Kings and Clippers don't obsess over it. :lol:
May 31, 200917 yr No strategy to beat the 2008-2009 Magic? Really? Not even the 96 Bulls could have beaten them? I meant no strategy by this Cavs team would have beat them. After LeBron, Orlando is better at every position and the bench.
