Reality Check.

[Cigma]

I have no qualms with Lebron winning an MVP.

Lets just say that at haltime I was falling asleep and Mr. King was well on his way to a triple double..


Meanwhile!!

The Spurs are up by 25 points on the Queens with half way through the SECOND quarter....

Parker has been resting the whole time after scoring 16 in the first quarter and Artest is too out of breath to talk anymore nonsense.

This one is already over too.

Ya'll haters really got me laughing, thinking the Kings could touch the Spurs.

This game is a wrap.

I was barely done celebrating a Cavalier victory and I had just turned to this to see the Kings down by 31... 73 point first half for the Spurs. Sac might as well use their locker room speech to focus on game 2.

^werd, it will still be competitve though... gear up for game 2 Kings, we got it... but this one done lol

lerbon got those stats against a weak wizards team lol kobe wouldve dropped 60 on them and win the game by 21 points with only half the effort

He would've had 2 assists or less.

The passes today were just off the charts... I mean there was a lot more than just "find Damon Jones or Donyell Marshall in the corner out of the double team." There were passes- PASSES- that made everyone in the room say "holy shit"

Bron's playmaking ability trumps the shit out of Kobe's honestly.

The Wizards aren't that weak- a lot of people expect them to win this series in 6 or 7 games.. Also, LeBron has his hands full with the outrageous number of trap double teams they threw at him and whatever defensive assignment he has can be counted on being a high scorer.

Great reply. Some of those "drive to the hoop then dish out the no-look pass" got me out of my seat.

Nod, I have to agree.

Lebron had some cross court passes and when he was working at the top of the arc the Wizards had no answer. The Wiz defense isn't the best, but Lebron had to do with a lot of that.

After that first air ball, Lebron was all ball.

We'll see how each teams adjust.


As far as the Spurs vs Kings... the only concern I have his Artest snapping and trying to hurt Tony Parker or Ginobili.

I saw too many cheap shots down the stretch, I think if he keeps that up they should just tell Nazr to clock him.

I think Eddie Jordan is going to have to revise his strategy..

I've never seen LeBron played like that. They were sending two defenders at him at the half court line on a few possessions.. and they got the ball out of his hands by doing that- but usually it led to a three or dunk.. and never a turnover or bad play. It helped that zero offense guys like Eric Snow were able to hit their wide open opportunities.

My biggest concern about the Cavs D, especially against teams with high scoring guards- is that they don't guard the paint very well at all. I was very impressed that they gave up very few "uncontested layups"- I only recall 3. They got out there and defended the rim, Z stepped up big a few times. Washington did miss a lot of good looks, so I can't credit it all to the Cavs D and I'd be surprised to see Washington held under 60 points through 3 quarters again in this series.
