I think it is neat for the people on the West Coast, specifically the Pacific Northwest, to get to see LeBron in action. I get a little bit upset at the fact that they only get to see him and great players from the East only once a year.

Oh how HONORED are we?! The might LeBron is going to grace our podunk little village with a cameo. :roll:

I think some people have the idea that the Pacific Northwest is in a different timezone than California. No, I don't know why.

"I look at Joe Johnson a lot like him. Brandon has a little bit more ability as a playmaker, but Joe certainly is in that category. They both can post up, they both can shoot the three and they both can put the ball on the floor. I am a fan of both of them."

I mentioned this comparison to my roommates when we were watching the Hawks-Blazers game. The main difference between them is size and how they score. Johnson has matched up successfully against back-up power forwards. But Roy has shown more consistency to get to the rim and finish. I wish Joe Johnson would do the same.

If seeing the great EC players only once is a treat then I want a refund from last year's game. Lebron couldn't hit the ocean that night nor could any of his teammates. I think the Cavs only scored 75 points.

^You should never ask for a refund for being able to see LeBron James in person. You are one of the lucky people in the world to see him in person. He is a completely different player compared to when he was in Portland last season.

I can't wait to watch this game.

I believe you should be eating your words after last nights game, he scorched BRoy and the Blazers. That was an amazing game to watch, just to watch LeBron if nothing else, he is by far and away the most talented player in the league right now. Hes was totally on a whole different level then everyone else that was on the floor last night. Hopefully someday Roy will be on that same level but he was about three tiers below where LBJ was that game, maybe he was just tired from his fever a few nights ago, but either way he just got killed.

Completely uncalled for

Either go (expletive) his (expletive) some more, or troll elsewhere please.

You are quick to assume things, I understand we (and yes I say we as I am a Blazer fan and have been all my life) lost tonight but theres no reason to be rude. My criticism may have been a bit harsh and blunt but its true. I am no troll, I cant be I am a Blazer fan on a Blazer board. Now if you had watched the game I watched tonight, at the Rose Garden as I did, you would have come to the same conclusion I did. Which is that LBJ torched Roy and the Blazers tonight, stop being such a homer, LBJ is the best player in basketball right now.

He destroyed Roy in the fourth on both ends of the court, he blocked him atleast once and altered his shot multiple times. Roy looked timid the whole quarter and could not ever get around him. Theres only one other time I have seen that happen to Roy and that was the first game of the season when he was being guarded by Bowen. LBJ is quick enough to keep up with Roy, smart enough to not get fooled by Roy's wit, and strong enough to keep Roy from finishing around him. It was a horrible match up for either Outlaw or Roy, which is not really a huge diss against either of them, as like I stated earlier hes the best player in the sport.
