LOL. I can't believe Robert Sacre is actually playing minutes in the league. Tells you how shallow the Lakers frontcourt is.

BTW guys, isnt it crazy that not only did Lebron take his scrub Cavs team to the Finals one year, they never lost in the first round during the entire duration of Lebron's stay?

When Kobe didnt have Shaq even he lost in the first round twice and didnt even make the playoffs one year.

Lebron's best teammate ever was Mo Williams. Personally, Lebron is a better basketball player than Kobe in my eyes. You can argue about better individual skill all you want but when it comes to carrying your teammates and getting everybody involved at the same time, Lebron is the guy. If any of you had a chance to play either on Kobe's team or Lebron's team, who would you pick? I would pick Lebron because not only is he capable of carrying the whole team to success, he has a great way of getting others involved and they feed off him very well. When playing with Kobe it is mostly just stand and watch him hoist up shots.

PS: yeah I know Lebron didnt make the playoffs the first two years in the league but he was developing still.

I think in one of the threads somewhere, I argued Kobe over LeBron, but I have a tendency to agree with you now. LeBron brought out the best in that Cavs team. Kobe had Shaq, Gasol, Bynum and is now underachieving with Dwight Howard. Even Ron Artest... sorry, Metta World Peace was probably better help than LeBron ever had on his Cavs team.

Anyway, the Nuggets are continuing to be impossible to pick. Hopefully when they get more home games, they can get over .500. Today also saw this play from JaVale McGee:

That is a great block. Right at its peak. Unlike many of Dwight Howard's goaltends. And you wont believe NBA.com didnt even have this in their top 10 lasst night. They put a lame Dwight Howard help defense goaltend in the list but not this in your face grab out of mid air.

Looks legal to me too, though it's very close. A lot of times that will be called a goaltend because it isn't expected a player to be able to get up that high, but an athlete like McGee will get up there and make the legal block from time to time. Very impressive.

I can't watch Cavs games anymore... I'm only 16 but I'm going to die of a heart attack, if I keep watching us lose games like this.

Agreed. Very very close though. Wouldn't have complained too much if the call went the other way.

So Nicolas Batum became the first player to record a 5/5/5/5/5 game since AK47 did it 6+ years ago.

One week after I created a thread on realGM asking who they thought would be the next player to record a 5/5/5/5/5. I am psychic.

Before you ask, the world is indeed ending in 4 days.

Well... that's nice to know, traitorcats fan. I am no Contributor or anything but I've never been no sell out either... even all these years of enduring(on-going) devastating blows to my Heat pride here.

Great to see Batum with the 5x5 and Lillard's game winner. It was at home against the Hornets and all but while I have no illusions that this team will sniff the playoffs, they've been a lot of fun to watch.
