Now thats a possibility... :thumbs: But 1 should wonder why he is currently building a 35k sq ft home here? Its not about the contract $$$, he makes more in endorsement$$ than any other nba player ($25mil).

5 Reasons, Why Lebron James, Will Stay in Cleveland

:beer2:

One reason why he wont - Jay Z.

And other than reason 1, none of those "reasons" are truths, and none anywhere near absolute truths. Reason 5 is an opinion, nothing of fact. Only LeBron knows how he feels about the franchise and not some schmuck beat writer or whoever wrote this dribble (or me and you for that matter). Reason 4, sure they go over the salary cap to help him, but that doesn't mean they spend the money wisely by any means. A commitment to winning and a knowledgeable, resourceful, forward-thinking front office are two far different entities. Reason 3 is just absolutely asinine. The Cavs "know what he needs to win". Oh yea? Then why haven't they won yet? Any idiot can figure out what a hugely talented player like LeBron needs to win. He needs another superstar so San Antonio can't key their whole defense on him and make him look like a high school player during the NBA Finals. This guy's assertion that the Cleveland the brass is smarter than others, or "know" what it takes to win in the NBA is a pile of crap. Cleveland has never won anything... ever. Reason 2 is just as ludicrous. He's a family man cause he has two little kids at age 23? To me that means he likes to **** (or doesn't believe in latex), and not that he's a family man. He's 23 and his oldest born is minutes away from facial hair popping through. No one has two kids that young because they want a family, let's be serious. Maybe he's the best dad in the world, let's hope so - but he's not Ward Cleaver.

And BOL tonight with your plays, HD!!!!

[cavorca12]

Yea, I tend to think Pho/SA is a close one. That's why I was more interested with a line under 2 for SA, since I think they should win it. I think NO pulls a Cle tonight. They have that mismatch at PG, which IMO largely decides the series. Dal is just like Wash in that they don't excel playing playoff style basketball. Dal just can't do it, and NO can play the style and is strong enough mentally despite not having as much experience. Thanks for the insight and GL! :beerbang:

Nash, has the flu?

Canadians laugh at the flu...he'll be OK! :beerbang: LOL.


GL HD... :thumbs:

[homedawg]

this game, just like last, can go either way. Line movement dont concern me, as the pub is hitting the suns big. Nash, has the flu? If he isnt able to play to full strenth, that is gonna hurt the suns bigtime. Parker has a head injury, not sure how serious it is, but he needs to repeat his gm1 performance. The biggest thing for the spurs, is to keep it closer if not lead at the half. Then hammer down on d in the 2h. I would not be surprised, if the spurs pull a cavs gm2. Should go under the total. Gonna wait til the half, & hope for better value either way. GL on whatever you decide. :thumbs:

[cavorca12]

HD, what do you think about SA tonight w/ the line now at 1.5?

[homedawg]

gm 3 line set at 5
