I'm tired of the media period. They hype a guy up, then drag him in the mud. I guess I expect it and that's why I really don't watch ESPN anymore unless a game is on or its a 30 for 30.

Alaskan Bush people!! I must say I was disappointed at first. There ain't no dam Bush on that show.

Kick them when they're up, kick them when they're down. Kick them when they're up, kick them when they're down.

Sounds like you need to relax during these games ALR.. No heart attacks allowed! And Curry was on the bench because he was ice cold.

BTW- SJ, ALR & I both were talking about Klay Thompson, however I believe you knew that.

Lebron is the best player on the planet and has been since '07. He deserves all the praise he gets. We may never see someone with his size and athleticism doing what he does on the basketball court again. Just like we won't see someone like Jordan again. 5 straight Finals appearances is amazing and he put almost all of those teams on his back to reach the finals-yes, even in Miami with Bosh and Wade. He may get calls for him because of his stature, but so do all the great ones. And his defense is out of this world, hence why he doesn't have as many fouls in his career and why he doesn't get into foul trouble. He's too powerful for wing players and too athletic for post players.

When skill, talent, work ethic & size all come together...


Also the main reason this CBB & NBA fan fell in love with the game.

Nobody has ever had or will ever have the BB career of this man...

Why did Lew change his name again? I saw him play as Kareem, but my dad watched a lot of the Bruin wins back in the day.

Same as Cassius Clay, they both adopted a Muslim name.

Name adoption with these cats helps them make changes from their previous life and accept their new belief in God.

It's said to help to reinforce their new identity & belief system.

While these two Icons (Ali & Jabbar) were probably the most famous dudes with name changes in the Muslin faith, the most famous Cat ever was Yusuf İslam.

Well I'd say a good pick, some contact by Delly and a little flopping by the screener. Contact like that should be a no call if they are letting them play. Problem I have is they would let them play for periods of the game, then get whistle happy for a few minutes too. The beginning of the 4th Q, the refs helped GS get right back in the game. They called everything on Cleveland.

Refs were bad last night. But they were equally bad. I don't get all the fuss about it being one sided.

Notice when GS went on their run late, Mosgov was out.

That's what u have to do if u want to beat the Cavs. Mosgov is a good option on offense, but he and Tristin have owned the paint and the boards series after series.

That has been the Cavs' weakness thus far, depth (partially due to injuries of course). They don't have backup PF and C that can keep the level of play up (even though they have Haywood, Perkins, and Marion that haven't sniffed the court, 14 minutes combined in all playoff series).
