The Cavs may want to think about giving Gibson some run going forward. Mo's killing them with his poor shooting and if Gibson can at least knock some 3s down that would help their offense a lot.


I agree with the principle, but really Mo just needs to play better. They are going to stick with what's worked for 90 games this season and I think they are right to. It's all on Mo's formerly hairy shoulders now.


It's one thing to stick with what's worked; it's another to not adjust to how the series is going. I'm not saying Mo should be benched. I'm saying that if he comes out shooting poorly again in Game 4 that Brown may need to turn to someone who has shown an ability to shoot well in the past.

Obvious eh? Why the national Kobe v Lebron commercial campaign. As I've said all along, the man that wins it all (assuming both make the Finals) will win this mythical debate. If the King can't dispatch Hedo Turkoglu and company, that would speak volumes.

he's shooting about the same % as Z, you haven't mentioned him :D


Yes I did a few pages ago. Ayt pointed out that Mo and West were both playing poorly and I said Ilgauskas was playing poorly too. :)

Lebron looks at the ref in disbelief because a clean block wasn't called a foul.

That entire game was just embarrassing for the NBA and embarrassing for basketball.

At least the better team won.

Some refuse to grasp this very easy concept. I don't know why, but they do.

I'm not trying to rip on LeBron but I always find it funny when superstars bitch about calls they don't get - especially in a game where they've gotten a ton.

Like this one for LeBron.

LeBron is a worse jump shooter and free throw shooter, better in every aspect of the game and that isn't even a debate... Unless you are just bias.

LeBron with an inferior supporting cast against Dwight Howard and/or Kobe with a far superior support cast proves nothing other than the Magic/Lakers are better teams than the Cavs.

Is Dwayne Wade worse than Kobe or LeBron because his team would have no chance against theirs? Is Chris Paul worse than Carmelo Anthony because the Hornets would get obliterated vs. the Nuggets?
