Cleveland vs. Sacramento? Who approved of this yawnfest?

I am so sick of Cleveland being on TV. Most boring team with a "superstar" ever.

They're boring to watch because all Cleveland does is stand around and watch Lebron do whatever he wants to do. Cleveland plays perhaps the worst "team ball" of anyone in the league. Lebron's teammates are essentially season ticket holders, away and home.

It's like the Association doesn't want good television numbers.

It doesn't help that Lebron isn't terribly charismatic to begin with, but when you add him to a team of zombie stiffs with unpronounceable names and bad/no hair it's a recipe for insomnia cure-all like no other.

It could be worse, at least they can put up points.

Problem is no one is playing any defense except Kobe.

Watching some Howard highlights. Is this guy going to be the next Shaq? He gets a ridiculous amount of dunks, reminds me of Shaq when he was a rookie.

While I'm ranting, can someone tell me why I should care that a billion Chinese are watching the crappy Rockets/Bucks game just because two Chinese players are in it?

I'm talking about Houston vs. Milwaukee not some hypothetical Dallas/San Antonio vs. Detroit/Boston matchup.

Yes, he will be the next Shaq. The guy is a monster physically and can pretty much score at will. Not to mention that he is fantastic at rebounding.

Yes, the same one that had the Dallas game in the bag until Terry decided to go into God Mode and currently has a better record than said Mavericks. Also, the same team that hasn't lost to the fucking Hawks. Dampier and Harris wouldn't have made a positive difference, I can tell you that much.

Nice game by the Lakers. Still too many turnovers..

Lamar looked GREAT. Luke on the bench where his scrub ass belongs..

Phoenix also lost to the Hawks and Detroit nearly did. Also, Josh Howard and Dampier didn't play against the Hawks either. And Harris went down in the second half.

Damn, JO got lit up tonight. Is Emeka really that good? He always seems so far behind Dwight Howard. If he has this in his game, well, watch out East.

Speaking of kicking the Sonics when they're down can you believe Stern saying that if the Sonics leave Seattle they wont EVER get another team? I suppose it's nicer of him to be upfront about that (fuck you NFL) but still... way harsh.

He's fishing for a max contract this season.

Webster: 17pts, 3-6 3pt, 5reb, 2bs

BTW, Rudy Gay? Yeah... he's playing REALLY well. He was hitting the 3 like no other tonight.

Like I said... Stern needs to die. This is a man who thinks it'd be smarter to put new teams in freaking Europe than one of the larger U.S. markets.

Die Stern, die.

So he is still pretty far behind Howard, right? He sure looked like a superstar tonight...

BTW - I think LeBron is my least favorite athlete in sports today. I seriously hate watching him play. I can't believe we have fifteen more years of his reign.

The Mavericks won, but the win wasn't impressive enough for me to put them above the Rockets.

Okay, this argument has gone on for too long. I was half-joking when I said the Rockets were the best team. They are better than the Mavericks though.
