time to give lejames some credit

paco · 06-19-12, 11:10 PM

Might as well give 50% credit to Crawford also for game 3

lakerboy · 06-19-12, 11:11 PM

The refs will always back him.

Br0nxer · 06-19-12, 11:11 PM

he figured it out

the rest of the league has been put on notice

you will be going thru miami for the foreseeable future if you want a title

once he gets that first 1 which looks like this year watch out

he might rip off 5 in next 6-8 years

Props to james.

Classy post LB.

Yea, I noticed the team started to collapse while Lebron was temporarly injured.

frizzelli · 06-19-12, 11:39 PM

Could OKC vs MIA turn into a great finals rivalry like LAL vs BOS seriously I can see these two teams back here every other year.

Miami haven't won shit, last I saw lebron was limping off the floor

paco · 06-19-12, 11:45 PM

Never say die. Okc in 7

tony_come · 06-19-12, 11:49 PM

Okc got pass 5 & 6 first

PD77 · 06-19-12, 11:53 PM

He had no one in Cleveland and walked of the court like a little bitch. Last time I checked he had some help in Miami. He already proved he couldn't do it by himself, that is why he took his talents to D. Wades team.

ThaTopMoron · 06-19-12, 11:53 PM

congrats! Cleveland is finally back again... so close to winning one of the 3 major Championships! they haven't been this close since game 7 vs the Marlins

oh...wait a minute...

he couldn't do it that way

good job winning on a Super team that is a joke IF THEY DON'T WIN

Seriously, Chris Bosh is actually a beast in the paint and franchise playerr.. he hardly has a role given his talent...dwade, 3ppint shooting.. dirk pulled a miracle last year to shut up cuban.. harden on lebron James? Guy was destroying beardo

No coincidences · 06-20-12, 12:37 AM

It was amazing what he could do on one leg late. Basically the Willis Reed encore we saw tonight.

We are all witnesses.

Goat Milk · 06-20-12, 04:53 AM

paco, you're done for lol

lakerman said james will never win a ring i think.

playing with a first ballot hall of famer who he makes look good? Wade's defense won that game for mia. Everyone has played well for mia, not just james. of course, it took you until now to see what a beast he is, which is a shame.

Pauulzcappin · 06-20-12, 04:57 AM

lebron deserves his but he won't win more than 3.

migz · 06-20-12, 05:00 AM

you forgot about the refs? nba should let players get physical. its horrible. wade/durant/harden/westbrook/james they always scream at the ref its horrible

thetrinity · 06-20-12, 11:36 AM

agree with laker, lebron deserves the credit. wade has dropped off this season from last year and bosh is a good not great player and battier chalmers even norris cole had their moments, but lebron has stepped up every game, even though he should have gutted the whole end of the game out last night, he hit the big 3 at the end.

HUGE difference is, Lebron and Wade get the Phantom call, and OKC doesn't. Congrats to the nba refs for handing the heat a title...ABSOLUTE JOKE

kingdom · 06-20-12, 11:53 AM

what bum in Cleveland could have helped him achieve anything? he carried 11 also Rans to the finals at the age of 22. people complain because he couldn't win til the ripe old age of 27, when most athletes hit their prime.finally the haters can "kiss da ring b#tch"

Regul8er · 06-20-12, 11:54 AM

Swap Chalmers and Harden, and this series may have been a sweep for OKC!

Chalmers can be a #2 option on many teams!

kingdom · 06-20-12, 11:56 AM

ask the spurs about phantom calls in okc game 6.how quickly they forget their good fortune at home.anybody that's watched the NBA for 5 minutes knows about home court advantage

This is comedy right here.

SpreadSniper · 06-20-12, 12:02 PM

just because some of us don't care for the guy doesn't mean we were never giving the guy "props"....

He is without a doubt one of the most talented players to ever touch a basketball, if not the most talented.

Still, I'd like to see him violated with a broom handle.

Sport_Fish · 06-20-12, 12:13 PM

Sure, James carried the team but ALOT of credit goes to the supporting cast for stepping up and actually making some shots when they needed it most. And also playing incredible on the defensive end to help James get stops.

This is a joke, because I'm pretty sure everyone said OKC was much more talented before the series started.

jsmithj88 · 06-20-12, 12:51 PM

OKC has more overall talent

no chance. this series is the perfect example of "defense wins championships"

all close games, and the better team on D won each game..

I swear you post entirely for shock value. There is no way you believe this. Sure Lebron gets double teamed, which makes it easier on others. Pretty much every team in the league has a creator that is capable of drawing a double team. Roy Hibbert draws double teams making his teammates better. Monta Ellis draws double teams, making his teammates better. This is not new information.

Lebron's Cleveland team had no other talent, hence the outcome. If you made this claim 3 years ago we would all agree.

Wade and Bosh aren't top 5 players, but they are both US OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALISTS so you might as well call them top 12 players. Chalmers last night proved he is at least a respectable role player. Shane Battier is the most highly respected role player since Robert Horry.

This is a team game. Without Shane Battier's 5-7 performance in game 2, OKC wins. Without Wade, Bosh, and Battier playing great in game 3, OKC wins. Without Mario Chalmers in game 4, OKC wins. So basically if Lebron's teammates weren't playing at a very high level on both sides of the court, OKC would have swept. Just like Cleveland got swept by SAN.

Oh and by the way, Miami's go-to play in the fourth quarter is a pick and roll between Wade and Bosh, and it has been all season. So despite the fact that Lebron James is undoubtedly the best player on the planet, he is still not the preferred option offensively down the stretch.

Fact #1 - Lebron James is currently the best player on the planet.
Fact #2 - If you truly believe what you wrote above, you are completely incompetent and hopeless.

PickWinnerAllDay · 06-20-12, 03:19 PM

This post makes little sense considering the series is probably 3-1 OKC without the great efforts of Battier and Chalmers.

James has a shit ton of help. Bosh, Wade, Chalmers, Battier, Cole, etc are all doing their part.

Speedy88 · 06-20-12, 04:28 PM

I hope Miami wins so LBJ can rub it in the face of the Cavs GM Gilbert. Fukkin hate that guy.
