I posted in the game thread that Cleveland is going to learn the hard way as soon as he split the first trip yet they kept giving him more chances.

You're kidding me. I too was watching the game and with the game past the minute mark I had assumed Cleveland had the game.

Gaines was terrible in my opinion. His game was far too tentative and predictable to have made an effect and he just couldn't release the ball to pass without evincing the slightest bit of nerve.

Lebron was rediculous though, his back to back three pointers were incredible.

was thinking the same.

I disagree.

Guy looked good, he looked really good defensively while Mo tried to post him up and kept getting called for fouling though.

Of course hes tentative in his 4th? nba game, playing against Lebron and the cavs...He was 3/3 in only 10 minutes, went +10, and hit the game winner.. I'd take him on the raps.

Fk I hate Mike Brown he doesnt get under lebron ass when hes just lurking around not doing anything. Imagine Lebron giving Wallace type effort everyday=---> scary rite? i know.

Edit: Lebron is scary as it is.

Both he and Price were in the game (two PG set).

What a great ending...

You can always count on Parker to miss clutch free throws.. I'm glad the Raps have been mostly clutch in free throws late in the game so far !

Perhaps he was under a critical spotlight during the 4th, but there was a small chain of plays where he probably was the cause of 2/3 turnovers and it was right before he was substituted for Miles(?) the announcer himself knew Gaines was coming out. What brought him back off the bench was only a miracle decision by Sloan.

haha. its funny because I was saying to myself I bet he misses the 1st free throw..and he diD! hilarious..too predictable..the guy can't shoot ft's with pressure simple as that...neither could Z tho.

And as said during the game, a win over Washington tomorrow (which is no given, obviously) would bring you to 18-20, which isn't too bad considering how bad things looked a few weeks ago.

The Bulls are playing hard for Vinny's job. Despite what the media was writing, he has not lost the players' loyalty

LeBron is the only one capable of inbounding the ball in these situations on the Cavs. Did you see their finish against the Warriors? Nearly cost them the game.

It wouldn't have been an issue if Mo Williams hadn't fouled out

HA My Predictions of Bulls and Jazz winning Were RIGHT! Man Im Clutch

Rembokz · Post #57 » by **Rembokz** » Fri Jan 15, 2010 12:07 pm

Too Bad... Boozer hit the 3 And WHAM The Jazz win it

Good for Gaines, Man I just saw yesterday on RapstV a vid where he got called up. He was so happy he was tearing up. He was so proud calling his mom. In out world of scrub, bust, all star labels, this tells me, guys accomplish a lot just by getting there. And it's not lost on some of them.

At 1:00 to like 1:10 Lebron misses his free throw, gets the rebound and when he goes to shoot the 3, it looked like he traveled, even the NBA Guy says this

"May Have been a travel"

Yeah I would say so. LeBron gets away with EVERYTHING. I'm really hating the NBA.

On a side note, I was watching college, it's pretty entertaining.
