That's the David Stern's NBA for all fans out there. This is a superstar league of course guys like LeBron James and Kevin Garnett get special treatment because THEY MAKE MONEY not Darius f**king Songaila.

It's not about fairness, that's stupid talk. It's about correctness. It's about whatever they think it's the correct call, and it's the correct call to suspend Songaila. It's the correct call to not suspend KG. Whatever.

Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson said it well today during the Hawks/Celts game about Songaila's suspension..

To sum it up, things need to become easier on LeBron. He can't dominate the ball the majority of the time like he has.

And who the hell are u Ms. Cleo?? Since you know everything how about u tell me those lotto numbers

It's just the actuality of a flaw and missing aspect of Cleveland's team. They're not a credible contending team becuase of their offensive limitations and over-reliance on LeBron James.

It's LBJ, a solid older big man in Z (more of a complementary player), and a bunch of role-players who don't have legitimate offensive creativity.

Have you watched or realized enough of what Cleveland's offensive situation is, and compared it to other top teams of now and the past?

Do that, and you'll see what is there with Cleveland's offense.

Because of this, I don't really see Cleveland getting out of the east or winning a title. At least probably not on the former. They're just not relative to a balanced squad.

yea that suspension on Songaila was pretty much BS. Haywood's comments on Lebron crying was pretty fun too.

I think that if Songaila would of pushed a few refs after the elbow then all would of been forgotten. I mean that IS how KG managed to avoid suspension.

I thought he was suspended because the league office told the Wizards specifically, that if they hit LeBron in the head one more time, they would get a suspension? There was obvious concern I guess about the Wizards hunting for LeBron's head, since they had clocked him numerous times already, maybe next time they shouldn't broadcast their intentions.

Didn't really warrant a suspension though I have to agree, and I was very surprised when I heard about it. It was a serious blow to the Wizards though, they probably would have won the title if this didn't happen.

That (and my response to SHAQFORMVP) was in relation to this season and beyond.
