LeBron James and the Play Offs
Now_Im_Not_Banned:
^^LOL...I don't understand...Kobe's playing for basically an expansion team with an assistant coach leading them who not only have 0 stars (other than Kobe), but have currently been playing without their second best player (Odom), and have been missing players throughout the season (Deavan George, Vlade Divac, Brian Grant, Kobe Bryant, Jumain Jones, Chris Mihm... shit, they've all been injured.)...Now on the other hand, you have LeBron James, a superstar with another superstar on his team and a good supporting cast who's been dubbed the next Michael Jordan and is already being called better than Kobe when he ain't even on Carter status...They both aren't making the playoffs, but only one is being hated on...Am I the only one who can see?

That's exactly what i mean. Like i said dude got game. He's probably the closest thing to Jordan ever existed at 19. But my point is that he still gotta prove everything in his career. He still gotta prove me he can carry a team over his shoulder in the last 10 games of the season (Cavs are 3-7 in the last 10). He still gotta prove me he can get other teammates involved when he's not shooting well (4th in the league for turnovers). He still gotta prove me he can take all the responsabilities of a defeat like a real leader should do (i wanna see his interview the day it will be official he'll not make the Play Offs). He still gotta prove me he can play with another superstar in his team without being jealous and without beefing with him (it's too easy to be the 1st and 2nd and 3rd star in you own team!). He still gotta prove me he can play the Play Offs. He still gotta prove me he can win an International competition against European teams who actually defends 10x better than they do in the NBA. He still gotta prove me he aint a bluff. Maybe he will do it. That's what i wish him. But right now he's just a very talented SG who's still in the process of learning how to play in the NBA. Nothing more. I'd put Reggie Miller over this dude all day all night.

Both are in the same situation of Toronto, New York, Milwaukee, Orlando, Charlotte, Atlanta, Minnesota, Portland, Utah, Clippers, Golden State & New Orleans. No. Worse. Cause they'll have less chance to get a good draft pick. That's the saddest truth!

The team is just not getting its stuff together at the moment, it is that simple. Coaching problems and shit. Garnett doesnt make the playoffs neither, and look at the change Denver made when the coach has been exchanged. Cavs were #2 of the EC for a long ass time. Now they barely make #8. Denver was horrible before Karl and has been the best team in the NBA since Karl came. A good coach can't change the potential of a team and its players, which Cavs don't lack, but he can make them to get their fucking shit together, and this is what the current Cav staff isnt doing right now. I still think they make the playoffs. Toronto isnt too tough to beat. Fucked up though, if they had #6, they would play vs Boston which would be really easy, compared to Detroit or Miami. First round out in 4 games vs. Miami, that's my prediction.
