TNT is the only place for NBA basketball. Both it picture quality and entertainment.

Barkley FTW!!!!!!!


And I'm a spurs fan and this is just plain and simple basic basketball. You watch the spurs if you want a good team to play good basketball, not a run and gun team. Bron-Bron (as I call him) is still VERY young and will mature greatly as he gets older. That one spinning lay-up that Varejao, hell i don't even know if i could call it that, the one he air balled was terrible. Do not give him the damn ball any more. if he had some decent talent around him, it would be a better series. He will get better and better. He's still just starting out.

Yeah, ABC sucks at it. I've watched the first 3 games, but unless the Cavs win the next two (not much chance of that), I'm not gonna watch any more. Guess I have to be grateful the Cavs rolled over in game 3 and saved me the trouble of paying attention to the rest.

FALSE. Lebron is very athletic for his size, but by no means equivalent to Kobe or Jordan. I don't know why people downplay Jordan's athleticism. How many guys can dunk from the free throw line like he does? BTW, Jordan wouldn't have missed that alley-oop feed that we saw Lebron did in game 3.

Neither Kobe nor Jordan have the build that Lebron does at 22 years old. Lebron driving down the lane is like a freight train coming straight at you. Of course his footwork, ball-handling skills, shooting, basketball IQ just cannot compare with Kobe or Jordan right now. But he's young, what do you expect from a 22 year old?

lebron's bound to win a few championships by the time he is through. but we all know he needs a supporting cast. i don't see the cavaliers winning next year with this group...if they can't put a decent team around him, he might turn out like A.I. 🙂( )

amen... and what's up with the camera blurring out every time a basket is made and comes back into focus trying to create a dramatic effect?

Lebron does have a leg up on Kobe in that he is a natural leader. His teammates love him and he is just a classy player in my opinion. For all Kobe's talent, he's almost like a cancer for the Lakers.
 
Here we go, the beginning of the end for the Cavs. LeBron better have a 50+ game to have any chance but it's the Spurs so that is going to be very difficult
 
Divac, Ginobili, Nash. Pshhh. None of them have anything on Varejao. That guy is the pvssy flopper of the millennium. Somebody needs to give him his money's worth if he wants to take a charge.

We're probably a few out of 100 people in the country watching this game. 🙂 I don't think Cavs fans care anymore.
