The injury to Jameer Nelson hurt but Alston has been playing well, and Courtney Lee not missing much time has been a big factor. They have a lot of versatile swingmen who can defend, pass and shoot the 3, and Howard cleans up on the inside. It's funny how people bring Kobe in it, and say if he would have done it then everybody would have been hating on him. But by doing that, you're hating on LeBron. He has shot pretty well this series, today was a bad game with turnovers though. The key is that it's a team game, the Magic are outplaying the Cavs, who need to play a better team game if they want to come back. I would love to see Orlando finish them off on their own court in Game 5 so we can see the end of the puppet commercials.

the point is, lebron has been stinking shit up in the 4th quarters....for kobe fans, it's upsetting, cuz this is the dude who gets compared to kobe all the time.

Lebron isn't playing GREAT in the 4th, but anything good the Cavs have done in the 4th has been ALL him. Anyone else step up and make a bucket? NOt really. No one can buy a bucket, he is trying to do way too much (sounds like Kobe when his team isn't doing anything) and thus turning the ball over.
Still, he is hitting big shots, hit the two free throw's to tie the game up last night, hit that three to bring them within one at the end of OT, hit the improbable game winner in game 2........it isn't like he is horrible, just trying to do too much because it is clear he has no trust in his team.

The thing is, when LeBron isnt hot offensively...he still has the ability to get others involved. Thats just his game. He sets players up with good opportunities to score. When Kobe is off, things just go haywire because his game is to score, not necessarily create easy buckets for others. With that being said, there is no double standards here. Just like I say Kobe needs to take responsibility (as the "leader) when his team loses...they same goes for LeBron. Yeah he might have done as much as anyone could have expected...likewise for Kobe in some of their defeats. But ultimately, a real leader will take the loss as their own.

yea....lebron definitely got others involved.......the other team, with 8 turnovers. LOL

what do you mean "it isn't like he's horrible"? have we been watching the same 4th quarters? LMAO. I call choke on every play while it's in progress and I'm right 95% of the time....how many turnovers did he have last game? of course hes gunna make big shots when hes shooting every time down, but making 1 in 5 shots is obviously not enough...hes still not the clutch player he needs to be in order for cleveland to be a top-tier team. lebron clearly needs to step it up...PeACe

Question time:
What collection of players would you rather have? Kobe with the Cavs right now, or Kobe with the Lakers.

Obviously Kobe with the Lakers
S P I C E:
I know the Magic have dominated this series but I still have a feeling the Cavs will win the next 3, I will try and not say I told you so when it happens.
