Did anyone notice Damonas cute golf shirt

he wore Saturday night. Looked like he

just got back from pimpin in the Maibach.

But seriously is he going to play or is he

in the dawghouse? If so trade his ass and

create some cap space before Tucker and Joe

Hoops get too attached to him and his pink

fedora.

I was glad to see the Pistons lose as well, but I’m certainly not going to call anyone on that team washed up. They just went West and won 5 games in 8 days. They’re playing very good basketball, and if the Cavs hadn’t gone on this great run over the last three weeks they’d be 5 games back right now. The Pistons aren’t a historic team, but they are quite good. They’re just like the Spurs, and it will take a lot of skill and luck to knock them off in the playoffs.

Hughes gets himself into situations where he feels like he has to make shots to justify his place on the team, and that’s when he has his bad games. The shots that get him into trouble are the ones he takes when he’s trying to get his 1-5 to a 5-10. The problem isn’t that he should pass *more*, it’s that he needs to shoot bad shots *less*. The two are related, but they’re not the same. If your offensive weapons aren’t taking the shots that they should make, the offense breaks down.

jmoe, a shooter/scorer will never pass the ball more when he’s cold. Hughes doesn’t have the instincts. Ain’t gonna happen. That’s like a Rottweiler with a toothache passing the neighbor’s dog his rawhide toy. Not in this lifetime.

Not living in Cleveland (Chicago) and not seeing the game because of holiday festivities, I’d like to hear your opinions on the fans at the game and their actions towards Boozer. Any anecdotes you can bring to life?

I think Larry needs to learn to pass a

lot more when he is cold. It was good

to see Gooden crashing the boards. It

was also good to see Detroit lose. Rasheed

looks washed up. If you can bottle up

Hamilton and Billups they can be beat.

Maybe Chickenhawk wants to have sex with

the bionic green titted woman himself.

Forget telling the kids to do it.

When I read a rumor/theory/guess/exaggeration/story about LeBron I wonder what evidence anyone has to prove any of this. Is he really such a bad guy? Is he really just waiting to BOLT once his contract ends? Is he really a guy concerned with his own image only? I don’t think so. I can tell you two qualities LeBron has that I certainly don’t have.

1.) If I was LeBron James - I would absolutely try to control the team. I would more or less punch Larry Hughes in the face every time he tried to put up a 1-3 layup with me streaking on the wing for a tomahawk jam. Every time David Wesley clanked a layup off the backboard - I would demand that Mike Brown sit his ass for the rest of the season. When I miss two free throws at the end of the game and we lose - I’m not taking the blame for the game. I’m going to point out that Eric Snow sucks ass at FTs and that I’m the reason we’re even CLOSE in this game. My attitude towards my teammates in pick up games is 10000000x worse than LeBron’s is towards the rest of the Cavs. He encourages them both on the court, from the bench, and whenever they interview him after the games. And if you don’t believe it’s genuine? He ALWAYS and I repeat ALWAYS makes the right pass to the open defender even when his teammates are struggling. He always give them the chance to make plays.

2.) LeBron keeps his cool better than any player under his amount of pressure. He gets fouled harder than anyone not named shaq and he rarely gets the calls guys like Wade/Arenas/Billups get. He gets played more physical than ANY wing player in the league. For all the talk about the league trying to “make him” the next jordan or whatever - it’s BS. This guy takes punishment night in and night out and the Refs don’t reward him for going to the hoop strong. I almost never see him flop and only after ridiculous amounts of contact does he complain to the refs. How often does he get T’d up? Rarely. He’s a professional and a guy that doesn’t let his emotions get the better of his game. I’m older than LeBron and I play lots of basketball and I couldn’t display the composure he has to save my life.

LeBron is the best thing to happen to Cleveland Sports since Jim Brown.

Why bother? Wise kids already know that Pollard’s peers are masters at it. I reckon there’s six naked sluts, two donkeys, one palomino horse, and a custom Nike vibrating Dustbuster in LeBron’s hotel room as we speak.

Pollard’s fine makes for PR, but it’s also BS.
