No, because it's exclusively on ABC.

I did think the Lebron love was kind of ridiculous. Kobe is a much better player. That awful J is a liability..

Lebron should develop a post game. Right now he's limited to jumpers or hard drives to the basket.

Ah, that is crap. I want to hear mike and tommy.

As for them being broadcasted for these games, yeah I knew they were, but there blacked out for me in HD. So I have to make a choice, crappy announcing with HD, or good announcing with non-HD.

So is his horrendous free throw shooting.

Take away his athletic ability around the hoop and he's surprisingly one-dimensional. I think he is supremely talented, but a few years in college could have made him into an absolute **** MONSTER of a complete player when he'd eventually come into the league.

Oh well!

A few years in college would not have polished him more then he is right now with 24/7 competative ball between NBA Finals appearance and USA Basketball journeys around the world.

I was happily at the game tonight, and LeBron just looked horrible at everything except for passing. Besides Wally who starting out hot, Big Z was CLE's ONLY consistent threat offensively.

And someone needs to talk to Rondo, idk what's goten into him but for some reason he's decided to make the game much harder for himself. He repeatedly had an easy pass but instead decided to dribble and do a lob pass. Garnett fought hard and was able to catch almost all of them but each time it was at the expense of good posistion.

Rondo also isn't taken open jumpers late in the shot clock and putting it on the floor. IDK if he's trying to impress with flashy plays or not but he's wasn't playing relaxed last night.

Also, unfortunately no one was spreading many LeBron cheers last night it was all boos and a mix of WAS's "O-ver-rated". With a 1-2 1,2,3 clap then saying "YOU'RE NOT JORDAN"

I personally like the "You're not Jordan" cheer better because it's more orginal since WASH already had the overated one.. but boos were the majority cheer for LeBron.

I thought you were a C's fan, why would you WANT lots of cheering for LeBron?

I disagree...I think a few years of college would have forced him to work on some more fundamentals earlier in his development as opposed to how to do a freaky-stylee dunk on a fast break...

First off LeBron's J is not this bad....he is obviously missing some shots he normally makes and you have to credit the C's team defense for getting into his head a little bit and making him uncomfortable and thinking about his misses mounting up.

The C's don't let him get into the paint and score at will while getting easy buckets preventing him from getting into a nice rhythm and flow so his jumpers are basically a "last resort" type of thing a "no hope" kind of thing so there is a lot of pressure to score when you're the man and supposedly you're suppose to take over games like you did against the Pistons but this C's team isn't single-covering you so you have to deal with more than just one guy EVERY possession.

LeBron has improved his jumper a lot and it's obviously got to be better but even Kobe gets jump-shot happy and can shoot himself out of a good night which he's done a number of occasions against the C's.

Honestly if we defender Kobe like that - conceding the jump shot he would score 40 on us. Kobe like alot of NBA WILL hit open Js. I realize Lebron is a better shooter then we saw but like Wade he isn't a good one by any stretch.

LeBron will hit open J's if he gets them....he isn't Rajon Rondo.
