NBA Free Agency Watch: The Top Three Destinations for Ray Allen
Posted: 15th May 2010 by Dr. Trade in NBA
Much has been made about Rajon Rondo's dominating stat-lines and Kevin Garnett's domination of Antawn Jamison, but Ray Allen's big-time shooting played just as big a role in the Celtics' dethroning of King James.
While Allen had a relatively quiet Game 6 against Cleveland, the stat splits reveal that he's easily had his best outings all season when facing the Cavs. He knocked down open jumpers every time the Cleveland defense got ...
2010 NBA Free Agency: Four Places That Will Suit King James
Posted: 15th May 2010 by Josh Dhani in NBA
We all know what happened. The Boston Celtics are back to their winning ways. I assure that I am not one of those NBA fans who are now about the LeBron James rumors.
The games are still going on. We got the Suns versus the Lakers and the Celtics versus the Magic. Watch those and stop paying attention free agency. We haven't even completed the NBA season yet!
But back to my ...
Just Say It, LeBron: Are You Leaving or Are You Staying?
Posted: 15th May 2010 by Justice Hill in NBA
Say you're leaving, LeBron .
Just say it, dude. Go ahead.
Say it now, and spare your hometown the heartbreak and angst that will come as it counts down to July 1 for you to go.
What other reaction can your city have? It has given you everything and discovered not even that was enough.
Just say it ... let this down-on-its-luck city -- its woe-is-me mentality justified because of the other stars it loved ...
Cleveland Cavaliers: Does LeBron James Really Make His Teammates Better?
Posted: 15th May 2010 by J Villa in NBA
First things first. I understand that what I'm about to say is going to cause a flood of responses, some agreeing, but many more disagreeing; some polite, and I'm sure many more not-so-polite.
But let's get one thing straight. I don't give a crap. You may be one of those dimwits who gobble up anything an ESPN article tells you about LeBron, like an amateur teen on a redtube video. That's ...
Eastern Conference Finals: Boston Celtics vs. Orlando Magic
Posted: 15th May 2010 by Frances White in NBA
The evolution of the green has the rest of the NBA taking notice, after all they were all but written off by the supposed expert NBA analysts. The lone voice of dissent was Skip Bayless of ESPN; he has been shouting their praises all season long and even he was ridiculed. Now it seems like he was right after all.
You have all heard it already, they were the over the hill ...
Dear LeBron James Haters: Why You Need To Leave the Man Alone
Posted: 15th May 2010 by Mike A in NBA
Dear LeBron James Haters,
Take a deep breath and think before you talk.
LeBron James is the greatest basketball player in the world during the preseason, regular season, and PLAYOFFS.
Anybody who can't realize that needs to think about it.
Yes, LeBron was bad in Game Five of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, but isn't everybody entitled to an off-game?
When Jordan had an off-game, what happened?
Scottie Pippen was there.
When Kobe had an off-game, what happened?
Shaq ...
Dear LeBron James: Leave Cleveland or Regret It the Rest of Your Life
Posted: 15th May 2010 by Mike A in NBA
Dear LeBron James,
It's time to go.
You've spent the last seven years of your life carrying the Cleveland Cavaliers on your shoulders, and when you finally asked for just a little in return, you got nothing.
Everybody is entitled to a bad game, but yours proved something. It proved that the Cleveland Cavaliers are not who we thought they were.
We thought the Cavaliers were a deep, talented team, but we found out ...
Previewing the Eastern Conference Finals: Three Keys for the Boston Celtics
Posted: 15th May 2010 by Evan Petty in NBA
If I were to have visited ESPN.com for the first time in my life today, I would have sworn it was the NBA offseason. As hard as it may be to believe, LeBron James is not testing the free agent market yet, and there are more playoff games to be played.
While all the attention has been on James and where he will play next year, the Orlando Magic have become ...
LeBron Haters Are as Short on Memory as the Cavs Were on Supporting Cast
Posted: 15th May 2010 by James Wong in NBA
Let's start by looking at how the Cleveland Cavaliers' elimination has affected the media in terms of the legendary LeBron James.
Despite his incredible body of work over the past seven years, suddenly LeBron is no longer the man, unable to fulfill his potential and to put it bluntly...a loser.
Seriously people?
How quickly people jumped on the LeBron James bandwagon during his high school years, and how quickly it seems people are ...
"The Next Jordan."
It's the moniker given to the then up and coming youngster who has captivated the sports media and appears to have the skills, athleticism and charisma to be great at the next level.
We've all heard it before, some of you have bought into it, some of you haven't paid it any attention and some of you have shunned the idea of there being another Michael ...
