I realize that you directed your reply to 2006CBE not me, but I do agree with you NFLfan that Lebron faces a lot of unwarranted backlash over picking Jordan's same jersey number & the chalk toss MJ his idol used to do back in the day that James used to replicate a lot before games. I'm not an avid NBA watcher so I can't say with certainty if he even does the chalk thing anymore. LeBron used to flop a lot on the court for calls in his favor early in his career. Some guy on You Tube did a NBA flopping skit with his high school buddies mocking this trend by him. It was pretty darn funny I gotta say. 

 

James's HOF legacy is secure just by winning a ring last season in Cleveland. He's a smart, well read man with a kind soul who helps out members of the Ohio community by sending them to college if they work hard, study, & earn good grades. I felt horrible for his family over the racial slur printed on his front gate. We've come so far as a society & yet sadly; not far enough apparently. There are good people out there of every race, religion, & gender though & LeBron knows that. Shortsighted fools ruin it for everybody else though unfortunately as you are well aware my friend. 

 

Don't get me started on the crybaby at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue either. Oy Vey! I know; I know. I'll stop before I get myself in trouble. LOL! 

 

I appreciate this explanation. Is that what it is? The chalk toss? I had not known that. I am not even familiar with what that is. Shows you how much NBA I watch.

 

As for flopping, I am pretty sure that other players do the same. And choosing Jordan's uniform number...I don't see what is to hate there.

The Warriors are not gonna do the same crap as last year. They'll play their game and win going away

I hope you are right, I want the Warriors to win you know that. I wouldn't think they would blow another lead either but the NBA is whacky at times. Last season shocked the crap out of me.

I was a fan of LeBron before he left Cleveland. That is the only reason why I dislike him, that and the constant GOAT talk by the media and his fan base - but that isn't LeBron's fault but it does get old when you follow Basketball like I do. Anyway the Warriors better not screw around tonight and treat this like a Game 7 or this will be a series scary one at that. Losing the other night was no big deal, Warriors were due for a loss and I don't think anyone picked the Warriors to sweep. They lose tonight though, we have a series.

 

I was not referring to you. The few comments I have seen you write, you don't seem angry and bitter. You only sound angry when fans criticize the Colts.

I am one that didn't find the chalk toss or his jersey selection a problem at all. It didn't bother me at all. Most people I have came across that don't like him is because he went to Miami to form a Superteam, leaving the Cavs to get an easy Ring. Or it's just the hype he gets from the media because he talked about so much. I have never came across anyone that hated him for a chalk toss or jersey #.

Darn right.

[Chrisaaron1023]

If the cavs come back from 0-3.. who can seriously watch soorts anymore? First Superbowl.. then that lol

[RockThatBlue]

Cavs look good early

[Chrisaaron1023]

All the warriors know how to do is foul

[RockThatBlue]

One thing is for sure. Kyrie and LeBron play their best with their backs against the wall. They don't look like they will go down without a fight.

[dgambill]

I will say these refs are calling everything on the ball....however away from the ball everytime Durant or Curry come off a screen they are getting mugged.

[dgambill]

GS very sloppy again. They also would be better off forcing Kyrie and Lebron to shoot jump shots. Give them enough room to hang themselves. They are scoring at the basket and creating open jumpers for teammates. Just a foot off.

[Chrisaaron1023]

Foul foul foul

[Chrisaaron1023]

Lol cavs iso ball

[Luck is Good]

Not surprising that phantom fouls are being called for the Cavs. That's what happens with a LeBron team

Warriors aren't playing any Defense for some reason. Gave up 37 points in the 1st Qtr. Not good.

It was the Miami move and the not 1,2,3,4 etc thing. Also the King James thing before he had won something. However when he scorched the Pistons for like 30 consecutive points in 4th and OT I loved him for killing them. Overall I still recognize how great he is.

I was loving that . I was rooting for the Cavs when they played Detroit. I hated Detroit.

[Chrisaaron1023]

Lol okay.. cavs are coming back from 0-3.. its done.  All these great comebacks in sports..

[dgambill]

If Warriors took care of the ball as great scorers they are those extra 10-15 possessions would make them unstoppable. Their Achilles is sloppy ball control.

Warriors offensive possessions right now are complete crap. It's horrendous

Yeah, I have this ridiculous gut feeling they're going to win the series.  They're going to shoot 60% for the rest of the series and win..........

[dgambill]

Warriors are like Manning Colts...very finesse. You grab and hold and bump it throws off their timing and you beat them. 

[Malakai432]

I'm just going to start calling them the New England Caveliers or the Cleveland Patriots until or if the Warriors win.  

 

There they go, finally Cavs are starting to play sloppy this game.....

[Luck is Good]

Cavs are not gonna win this series. Some of you guys lose faith so fast

[dgambill]

Real question here...why does Dremond stand at 3 pt line? If he would follow the driver just a bit he could have all the elbow jumpers he could want and hit a much higher percentage. Bad basketball. Standing at 3pt line for guy like him makes no sense. He could score 20 with 15-17 footers like David West used to and still does. He should wear that spot out.

Nice run here, only down 41-39 now. They need to start creating turnovers and quit being sloppy.

Make Lebron and Kyrie into jump shooters and don't have to help on their drives and you snuff out their 3 pt shooters. Sure Kyrie and Lebron will hit many but no where near their points at the rim.

[Malakai432]

Come on D, stop letting Tristan run rampid.

[Malakai432]

Sheesh.....That's KD for ya.

[dgambill]

Dangerous time right now.

[Malakai432]

There we go Warriors starting to play like the damn Warriors now. 

[Chrisaaron1023]

Uh oh

[Luck is Good]

Like I said, some of you lose faith too easily

[dgambill]

You have to double Curry and KD and force the ball out of their hands. Make IGgy and Green and West beat you.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Sounds like they heard me  That is the Warriors explosion we have been waiting on, 15-0 run. Warriors up by 11 now.

[dgambill]

Oh crap David West would kill him!

[dgambill]

Imagine David West in a dark alley after the game. Please you don't want none of that.

I was just thinking the same thing.. Tristan wouldn't want those hands.. Dave was a former Golden Gloves winner. 

[crazycolt1]

I like West but he got too hot there.
