Or they would have tried as hard to get the Lakers into the finals as they with the Cavs in 07.

Owned.

Really?

CAVS West Record Last Season: 19-11 %58

This Season: 12-7 so far %58

Looks like the Cavs have no problem with the Western Conference.

I have never seen a guy win games on layups as much i have have seen Lebron do over the last 3 years. Most wing players will settle for the jumper with 5 seconds remaining,but Lebron always finds a way to get all the way to the bucket.

What's Lebron going to do if/when Kidd goes to Dallas? It's no secret James wants to have Kidd in a Cav's uniform, but it looks like Kidd is headed West. Could this anger Lebron to a point where it become a major issue with Cavs management? Will losing Kidd to Dallas sour James on trusting Cleveland management to build a better team? I think it might.

He's going to the Knicks in 2010 anyway.

If Lebron opts out,the perfect place for him is in LA with Andrew Bynum.

Bynum at that time will only be 22 years old

Cavs record this season: 25-19
WC 9th seed record this season: 26-19

The 10th seed is 25-20...

Also when Lebron's contract is up it's already a well known fact that he's going to the Brooklyn Nets to be Antoine Wright's sidekick.

No,but if the Lakers only had room for one and they had to make a choice. Im choosing King James

Summer of 2009 Kobe can opt opt

If he decides to take that chance and Lebron agrees to come to LA,then the Lakers might be saying by by to Kobe

yea, I was just mocking B-scott's "love" for Kobe. He would probably want to just cut Kobe for the sake of it.

Hello LeBronphobia.

It was a response to the hypothetical "what if Cavs were in the West" question so Cavs record vs West is %58, adjust it to 52 West games = 30-31 wins + Cavs East record with LeBron : 13-6. means % 65 or smthng like that, that's an easy 50+ win season and probably more than that.

About Brooklyn Nets thing, LeBron is your franchise' only chance for winning something and oh, he doesn't need your support so you can dump your team if LeBron decides to save the Nets.

KOBE has and ONLY plays for RINGS B*****.


Haha. Good one. That made me chuckle out loud, given that LeBron has went deeper in the playoffs the last two years, and Kobe hasn't made it out of the first round since Shaq left. If he only plays for rings, he might as well retire. He's never going to lead his team as a Finals MVP.

^^^ You're ignoring the fact that Kobe had less help in a stronger conference. The Kobe needing shaq argument is hilarious to me since even Jordan, the GOAT, needed great players to help him win titles. No one can do it alone. Lebron isn't going to be winning any titles by himself. He's going to need a shaq type player, or at the very least some better help, if he's going to win a title.

If you think Kobe has less help, please turn on the Cavs/Sonics game.

Bad example.

The Sonics beat the defending champs as well.

Then please refer to the 5 games that Lebron missed earlier in the year. 5 games in which they got that ass waxed each time. Lebron has easily the worst supporting cast of all the MVP canidates.
It took 10 frickin' years, but we've finally got a legitimate franchise player to lead us back to the top.

They barely won over the spurs, who had been struggling heading into the game. They are blowing the LeBronless cavs off the court like they are playing a D-League team.
