I'm gonna be honest.. I'm starting to admire LeBron .. his legacy & all, just glad to be a "Witness".

Dude is a beast!

I just hate him when he's playing the Knicks & that he plays for the enemy.

I'm the same. What a professional.

Not that it comes down to that or anything...

He plays off the ball so he isn't going to get as much. Sort of like Nash playing off the ball and Kobe being the primary ball handler. Its the same thing with Harden and Lin. Not sure why the coach doesn't stagger their minutes more.

Btw some interesting stats.

Lin first 10 games.

10.3 PPG
34.3% FG
25.8% 3PT

In the last 30 games:

14.6 PPG
47.2% FG
41.6% 3PT

Huge improvement in overall efficiency once he got used to playing for the Rockets and his knees got better.

do you have a source for this?

Someone on clutchfans posted it. Doesn't seem to be off looking at his gamelog. He has shot over 40% for March and February from 3.

Yep. I hate the Heat but like Lebron. Always have liked watching him dominate in Cleveland and started to hate him after than not 1, not 2 decision nonsense and his chokejob against the Mavs. However, kind of gained sympathy from me when people act like he is a rapist or murderer :lol:

and his recent dominance has been impossible for a fan of the nba to ignore.

That's some WWE heel promo stuff. Seems a bit premeditated though when he checks to make sure they called timeout.

People would want to rip Melo's throat out if he did that :lol:

I kind of wish Melo did. Goes to show what winning a chip entitles you hehe. Can't imagine LBJ doing that without being a champ.

So we're going to forget about all that dancing on the sidelines and flexing he did as a Cav?

Let me rephrase, he isn't getting castigated for it like he did in the past, CLE or pre chip MIA.

I like Wall, so I'm biased. :lol:

How about Ricky?

Those 1st round Western Conference playoff matchups look ASTOUNDING.

SA vs LAL
OKC vs HOU
MEM vs GS
LAC vs DEN

My God, Denver vs the Clips in a series would be EPIC! I'd like Houston to change places with the Lakers...Kobe vs Durant and the Houston youthful speed vs the fast paced motion Spurs...This could be epic.

The East could be a lot more interesting if D-Rose comes back. I think the Hawks and Bucks are sure outs though and the C's are gonna be really dependent on their old men finding a fountain of youth.

I feel like there's a weeeeee bit difference between dancing for fun / glee and taunting the crowd.

Post #797 » by **Thugger HBC** » Thu Mar 21, 2013 5:07 pm

Who taunts the crowd?

That three pointer and staring out into the distance then pounding his chest and stomping his feet...looked very much like a "this is MY house" move. I don't care too much, but I could see how someone would think it's taunting.

frogfood · Post #799 » by **frogfood** » Thu Mar 21, 2013 5:31 pm

Yep. The close up shot doesn't do it justice. I watched it live and it looked like heel Rock staring off into the crowd before a People's Elbow, soaking in the hate, and commenced with the histrionics.

It was glorious.

It's taunting, but it's Lebron, what are you gonna do about it? You can only sit down and shake your head. This is what pisses me off

I have no admiration for this
