    This is a long version of the true thread title here. LBJ sucked last night because we took him out of his game

    TL/DNR (all of it).

    Isn't this the same thing Kome has done in the past? And hasn't Kome been roundly vilified for it?

    No, Kobe would freeze out people for not getting him the ball, LeBron is pissed because of the lack of team ball.

    Didnt bother to fully read it. Its rediculous to post an article about a superstar purposely throwing a game, these atheletes are incredibly competitive and would not throw a game. Also one player does not make you lose by 20.

    Re: James threw the game last night playing a passive-aggressive mission for the team

    One thing that did catch my ear this morning was when asked about his teams start, 'Bron said something along the lines of there have been some bad habits formed around here in the past couple years. I think he's calling out Waiters and Irving, plain and simple. This could real interesting if they keep this slide going.

    Don't be surprised if you see James put up 30 shots tonight in SLC. He will single handedly beat the Jazz if he has to.

    Brian Windhorst. It's the lead story on ESPN's NBA page. http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/11824708/lebron-james-opts-new-leadership-style-young-cleveland-cavaliers

    I believe that BGD's reasoning in posting it here is something like: If the Blazers lose, it's because they suck. If they win against a team recognized as a contender, it's because the other team decided not to play to win, but the Blazers still suck.

    Sorry man, I don't ever read anything BDG or BGD posts. Gave up on that guy the week he arrived.

    So he is calling LeBron out huh, on ESPN?

    Ill actually read this is Windhorst wrote it. He has had some really good pieces on LBJ the last few years.

    So are we to believe Lebron missed shots (4-12) on purpose too?

    Not. Swayed.

    How am I calling LeBron out on ESPN? I'm sure if Sly or someone else would have posted this there would be a totally different reaction.

    Do I think Lebron could have played better? Yes.

    Do I think it would have mattered last night? No

    Did you have multiple concussions growing up? I was talking about the writer, not you.
