LeBron Bashers

The MVP has one bad game and they are ready to string him up in the center of town. Of course, when that town is Cleveland, you can understand this type of reaction. I have lived here all my life and am fully prepared for another choke job.

But don't put this on one player. The Cavs have, once again, been out-coached. Not to mention out-hustled. All will be forgiven if Cleveland can come up big tonight and get a Game 7 at home (even if they could easily lose that one).

A loss tonight does not come close to comparing to The Drive or The Shot. I was there for both of those horrors and this is not in the same category, no matter what ESPN may want to tell you.

LBJ is a superstar talent and has shown incredible character by staying in Cleveland with his mouth shut all these years.

While a lot of people have made comments and it's kind of the hip thing to do -- try and tear down a star the minute they run into adversity -- in the end we all know the guy is the best young talent out there and it's just a matter of time until he wins it.

Cleveland as an organization did the best they could and imo made their biggest mistake in choosing not to change coaches. It's hard to argue honestly that the players were not enough to win one, I think it is more a matter of having a coach that did not know what to do with the pieces.

Granted, it's very hard to coach at that level but it's a double-edged sword -- he gets the most talented player in the league but with it comes the expectation that they will win it all.

When you see this happen twice now where LBJ gives his best and the team falls way short, you know it's not him. Nobody is going to say his statline last night wasn't good enough. If I remember, last year he had 40 points in their last game....it's definitely not him.

LBJ will rise, he will win his championships. Cleveland however, has a long road back to being a top team unless LBJ decides to stay.

another choke from the queen and everywhere the 'witnesses' make excuses...

I thought the cavs went out and got him the surrounding cast he needed? Didn't they win the most regular season games? And bron bron can't even get them out of the SECOND ROUND?????

Maybe it's time to admit that in clutch situations lebron chokes his ass off. Don't worry lebron, at least you have that highschool title you won as a 25 year old senior... oh wait, your team forfeited that because your broke ass welfare mom had to buy you a king james hummer during the season.

At least he didn't have his mammy do the press conference this year...

Lebron James will acted just like Tracey McGrady in the next 5 years. Trying to win everything for one team, just like McGrady did for Houston. Not going to happen
