i do not like lebron..i see you don't either..don't let that cloud your judgement..he is what 26? has a long time left it this league..he bosch,wade is a good core..they were like 2 games out for the best record in the league and they started awful..the guy is too good to play another ten years and not get a ring..mike brown? lmao that guy is a shitty coach.sometimes shitty coaches win coach of the year..see lovie smith and i believe dick jauron also for my bears..lebron was the only star on that team.that was the worst team i have seen go to the finals other than iverson sixers..that team was never that good ..bron made that team much better than it actually was.. you say you question his mental toughness..i think you may be right. i would have thought he would have had a ring by now.. if he was mentally stronger maybe he would..

I am also a Lebron hater and not just cause he left the Cavs.

I just think he's a quitter and cry baby and hope he never get's a ring hate saying that cause i like wade.

But let's go boston..

i do not see the heat getting by boston, but i still like the bulls in the east..if boston had perkins still i think boston takes the bulls, especially the way boozer is playing..boozer may become an albatross with that contract

I like derrick rose not a bulls fan

LAKERS fan of course but tell yeah what it's hard to beat boston in a series they are tough mentally way tougher than heat.

id rather see bull's make it than boston cause i think lakers can take bulls.If they get by the hornet's

if they don't id like to see the bull's take it just cause of rose i like his style he's always very composed.Unlike crybaby lebron

i think the lakers would crush the celtics...lakers have too much size, jermaine oneal is soft and shaq is washed up...the bulls are a worse match up for the lakers than the celtics minus perkins

Damn i can't stand Lebron,Never liked his arrogant ass.Chris bosh makes me sick to watch him screaming and beating on his chest....Hate the celtics as much or more as the heat..In the east i'll pull for the bulls...But the Lakers will remain the champions when its all said and done..

Yeah i like K.D.If anyone in the west can knock off the lakers i think it would be the thunder..Durant isn't a big whinning crybaby like most star players..D.Rose is another player i like.

Take into consideration, James will be on the decline in his career BEFORE Jordan or Kobe started there's, this is been a statement from M.J. himself;
"James is to reliant on size, speed, agility. With age, you lose all of those factors in your game which is why the brighter stars in the league (he referenced Rose) have constantly been updating they're game. I've seen the same game from James since entering the league, when he's 31 his size, speed, agility will be average to any player in the league... he's not a threat."
This was stated THIS MONTH. Look at the 'stats' nobody mentions about Lebron, 37% of his PPG come from the FT line.

Take away his ability to drive the lane like Jordan said, in 4 years from now, & you have a player that went from 26 PPG to 16 PPG on average, 16 PPG is sad for an All-star at 31. Kobe is 32 putting up almost identical PPG as James. I'm not a James hater... just not a James believer. He hasn't proved to me anything but failure. This dude will no longer possess the athleticism he relies on today in another few years to win any sort of gold. So in reality, the point of the story here, James isn't as young as you think when you consider his style of play shaves off a good 3-4 years off his career-decline.

KOBE THIS SEASON: 22.5PPG
JAMES THIS SEASON: 24PPG

A 1.5PPG difference... an a 6 year age difference... one in they're prime, the other not. I say as long as Bryant's in the league, James doesn't win.

too bad the magic could not extend that series..really wanted rose to rest and heal up... even at 80% rose will abuse kirk hinrich, this series is done..bulls take atlanta in 6...bring on the celtics!!

Chicago / Celtics will be a much more entertaining series then Miami / Celtics. Beside, I see Chicago going 7 win or lose, so LA can use the extra beating on both teams going into the Finals, lol. Especially if it's Chicago, they are a young squad, I wouldn't mind Boston beating them up in a 7-game series & LA finishing there's early to rest, with age comes rest. =) I remember Boston having a tough time in last years post-season vs Chicago... that was a young, inexperienced, Chicago team... the Bulls this year are a 100x better version of last years post-season Bulls. I don't know if Boston can do it this time around, but we'll see, Boston seems to get out of everything...
