lol yea i know, i just said it because it would be cool if they can, but i know they prob wont get very far in playoffs... but you never know.
anyone have NBA league pass? $109 right now.
lakers vs dallas 8:30pm NBA tv. (EST) tonight
also, something my friend asked me, if you were lebron, would you want to be traded or not? if so, where would you want to go play?
i would stay with cavs for a few seasons, try to fine tune my game and see if i can get to a title contending team
i dont see the cavs being title contenders anytime soon

Well if Lebron cant lead the Cavs to the promised land....than he wont live up to his hype.
He would be a huge disappointment to the people of Cleveland if he left....ie, he would have little respect or love from his hometown.
Cleveland management has to figure out who can fit and if needed...spend some money.
That's the same problem Garnett has....he is pre-Lebron without the same hype...but just as good a player...management muffed everything up...and Garnett is turning 30 or has already.

i agree. lebron still has room to improve though, hes def playing at a high level for his age.
if the cavs can attract some talent to help lebron out it would help him out bigtime... a good point guard will help
anyone see the pistons vs hawks game? hawks won by 1 point? wow

Cuban has all the refs nervous nellies when working in big D.
Relax, its the regular season. Teams get hot, teams get cold. I don't see anyone stopping the Pistons this year (unless there is an injury).

Miami D is not in the same league as the Pistons...and the thing about Dallas is they play a lot of 1 on 1.....

great game for the heat, wade had a slow start, 2nd half he started to get into a good rhythm. shaq held the heat down in the 1st half though, without him pistons would've ran away with a massive lead
IMO if the pistons went for a 2 pointer instead of going for a 3 they could've forced OT instead of going for a high pressure 3 but thats just me

Considering only 10 teams have beaten them I'd say they were more than a dog.

And your facts don't sound right. We just in the last few weeks beat Memphis, Clippers, Cleveland. Please see my avatar quote.

i think he meant against the elite teams, so dont be a dick. 2-11 against the elite teams in the league, and one of the wins was against the nets, who are going to take the 2nd seed in the east from the heat

A lot of what I am saying are indisputable facts not opinions you can call them stupid but I'm not the one in the Heat uniform getting blown out by 36 by the Dallas Mavericks.
I don't disagree that the team isn't playing up to championship caliber. I had argued with you earlier on your assessment of Shaq. I had felt that the facts that you were using were not as indicative to Shaq's decline/detoriation (or whatever you want to call it) as the ones I had used. Nevertheless some feel I had ignored the facts in your assessment which is totally false.
Finally to clarify one of the stats, the top 4 teams (or elite if you will), San Antonio, Detroit, Dallas, and Phoenix we are now 1-6 against. I don't think I'd consider the other division leaders elite quite yet.
