Come crunch time, King James got no support from his team mates.

Not surprising that he stormed off at the end and didn't speak to any press.

< That dude used to have the same problem. He didn't act like a spoiled brat after losses though.
 
He got fined by the league, I hope its a once off for him, gotta be gracious in defeat.

Suspension anyone?
 
Tis a shame, he had a good game and he spoils by doing that.

Deserves a 1 game ban.
 
The Flying Double Fists. The Double Axe Handle Fist Smack. The Donkey Kong Super Barrel Gold Banana Smash. Good thing Pau didnt get hurt. Suspension indeed!

I hope it generates a friendly rivalry with SLAM. So we readers will benefit lol. I've been reading SLAM since the 90's but Im sure to grab a copy of FADEAWAY as well when I get the chance.
 
NBA sets its sights on Europe within 'six to eight years'

Russell Wolff, vice-president of ESPN International, said the company would look at similar opportunities in Europe if they arise. He claimed the new TV deal, which will see its UK channel screening almost 100 live matches a season, would help the NBA accelerate plans for expansion in the UK. "We hope this agreement helps grow the appeal of ESPN's offering to sports fans and helps grow the appeal of the NBA to basketball fans in the UK."

:APPLAUD:
 
It'll take time for them to get into a rhythm, I haven't seen any highlights from their two games but it sounds like they don't know how to play off him yet.

I don't think he'll make that much of a difference to them anyway, the rest of the players need to be consistent in the post season.
 
He handled the situation poorly.
 
Well he had no choice Tobi. Better plead now than being sentenced later by a jury later and get a far lengthier sentence. The gun joke was stupid on his part considering he had a prior already. Strike two! I honestly think he would get jail time and he will be made an example of.

In other news:
-Marbury will play in China
-Stackhouse heading for Milwaukee
-Shannon Brown, Nate Robinson & Gerald Wallace confirmed for Slam Dunk Competition (WTF Lebron! THought you was entering this year?)
- and MELO IS A BEAST!!!
 
I don't care what the media say, we will beat them in six games.
 
:KING: is out... once again.
When will Cleveland win a title? No title for Cleveland teams since 1964. :CRY:

Now, go Suns. Beat LA.
 
Really wanted the Cavs to win. such a shame, the pg position was too much for the cavs to handle with mo williams not being able to defend rondo.

rooting for the magic now.
 
Im not a fan of the game even though I`ve been to the magic game about 20 times neighbor is a fan so his wife don`t go so. Anyhow I watched lobrond play 27 goals 22 asst. and the old hero Shaq 11 pts. what happen to the shaq attack burger king specials ffs!


Well here`s the question Orlando plays Celtic which I think Celtic are very good team but does it matter really ? La r creme a`le creme kobe is legend. I hope Orlando plays them again I might go to a match to watch Orlando vs Celtic or is it Celtic vs Orlando :LOL:

Orlando is making a massive Arena next to the old Arena the old Arena will be like highbury flats . I will go to 2012 All-star game in Orlando think its big even though Im not a fan.I should be a fan btw footy I need a down time to have some sort of relation w/ family.
 
Lucky guy you beboq. You live nearly one of the best basketball franchise but you don't like the game :LOL: I wish I were you.

To be honest I'm giving a shit about the rest of the season, just watch a few more games and rooting for Suns (sorry LA fans but I don't like the Lakers). I'm much more concerned about Cavs' future and when he talk about Cavs' future we are talking about LeBron's future.

Yesterday's defeat bringing on the debate about LeBron's final destination. Now, more than ever, the possibility of move is a big reality. The Cavs managed to get some good players over the last 3-4 seasons. Mo Williams, Delonte West, Shaq and Jamison are the most significant examples. Danny Ferry made an huge job at the Cavs but somehow he failed to built a champion team. Year over year, season over season, the Cavs have failed. LeBron has seven seasons and zero titles. LeBron needs not just one nor two but multiple championship rings. He will only be a legend if he wins à la Jordan. And he wants to be a legend!

As years past the roster are getting over. Big Z, Shaq and Jamison past 30s and they don't seem to be improving at this age. This is not a pretty scenario for someone who wants to win many many times. Nevertheless there aren't many perfect solutions over there. Ok, New York can secure 2 big names but then? They will fill the roster with a bunch of veteran-minimum salary cap? And the Bulls? A roster full of secondary roles? And what about the Heat? Will Wade and LeBron work together an entire season without any alter ego problem?

In summary, several teams are worthy of his consideration, but each has issues that must be resolved. Several equations are on LeBron's mind. Some really big doubts about King's future.

It will be a nervous summer in Cleveland. I will wait. Nervously!
 
To be honest, Lebron just didnt have the team to do it. Yea, its nice to have jamison, williams, west and shaq but they needed another STAR rather than above average role players. Kobe didn't win anything until Pau came but he had odom and bynum already.

Would be a shame for Lebron to go but unless the cavs make a move to get rid of shaq and possibly another player to get some sort of superstar, they're going nowhere which means lebron will go somewhere else.

Knicks?? I'd say slim chance...no support cast there even if it does have a big market, they'd still be losing.

Bulls?? Maybe. Definitely have the players there to do it....but to be on a team where the GOAT (greatest of all time) played and having to live under his shadow....don't like their chances!

Leaves the heat. Wade and Bron! They're missing a good center and pg but they have a good chance i think.

If i had to bet, I'd put money on him staying with the cavs. They'd make a trade somehow to get refresh some of their pieces and most probably get a new coach
 
you aving a laugh there`s a player name Goat :LOL: I live here never heard of him.
lebron I like my spelling better tbh, but why did the fans boo lebron for? It was very eboue like, basketball would be better if they can make 3:00 actually 3 minute instead of going for 10 minute. There`s more foul acting (diving) than in footy too :JAY: plus watching a game in the west (during the week)starts at 11 pm that`s crazy

The Bulls and Nets have the best chance of signing him I reckon.

Cleveland are stuck paying Shaq n co a ton of money over the next few years. There isn't a lot of ways they can change their team.
