		<description>[...] Brian Windhorst, Akron Beacon Journal: &#34;The Wizards do this cool thing where they honor injured troops from Iraq who are recovering at nearby Walter Reed hospital. But while they were on the scoreboard tonight, one of the soldiers took off his prosthetic leg, poured beer into it and started drinking out of it. Um, it was quite disturbing to me.&#34; (WHAT!?!?)

		<description>Brian, HOW COULD ANYONE NOT SEE THE CLINCHED FIST on that Flagrant foul?  Stevenson clinched it, wound up and took a full swing at LeBron's head.  When is the NBA going to step in and throw idiots like that OUT OF THE LEAGUE?  

If I'm LBJ and the Cavs, I'm outraged!!!!!!!!!!

And let me tell you, Stevenson had just better watch his back, because the whole world saw his lunacy...and there are some "not so nice" guys out there with very long memories.  He wants to make it personal, huh?  He may not know what he's asking for.</description>

		<description>My mistake, I just re-read some prior posts, it appears that Douglar was indeed referring to the All-Defensive team, not the All-NBA team.</description>

		<description>Actually, Douglar, you're very wrong.  The same spaghetti-stained media folks who vote for the other stuff also vote for the All-NBA team.  It's the All-Defensive team that gets the coaches' votes, or whoever the coach might give their card to if they ain't in the mood or just don't take it seriously.  Kind of like Windy's infamous Pavlovic vote, only this time some of the coaches will let their kids think up some votes between munching Corn Flakes at the breakfast table.</description>

		<description>Douglar... a few things:

-I believe this turd belongs to you:  "You should take a logic class, you’re learn a thing or to!"

Learn how to spell or go away.  Maybe you should take a grammar class? 

-Cavs record v the LA Kobes this season... 2-0, and LeBron outplayed your boy both times, handily.  Evidently you didnt watch those games.

-The day Kobe guards LeBron for the entire game, you can make YOUR straw argument about LeBron's defense.  Wont ever happen, however, because LeBron would dunk Kobe along with the ball every time down the court.  Unfortunately, Phil Jackson isnt as stupid as you are.

-This year's MVP is actually Chris Paul.  His season is among the greatest in the history of the point guard position.  He's virtually unguardable because of his exceptional passing, he's carrying a fairly mediocre supporting cast, turning a group of outcasts the likes of Tyson Chandler and David West into a 2 seed in the West.  

-Kobe's career doesnt automatically entitle him to win this year's MVP.  By that logic, Garnett is actually more deserving.  Not that you're impartial enough to see it, but whatever.

In short, you're wrong, which is no different than any other time you post.</description>

		<description>LeCavalier, who is "many." That's called straw man argument. You should take a logic class, you're learn a thing or to!

Coaches vote for all-nba first teams. It's why I put more stock in that award than many others. Writers vote for MVP and defensive player of the year. 

Coaches break down tape daily, I do put more emphasis in what they say than NBA writers, who only see their own team and every other team once. Coaches on the other hand have to see every team often in order to formulate gameplans. I realize that could be considered an appeal to authority, but I don't really see that as a flawed analytical mechanism.</description>

		<description>It's ironic you say that, Douglars. A few years ago when Byrant was all 1st team All NBA defense many attributed it to him playing especially hard defense only on nationally televised games. Many thought the votes were based on those few performances.</description>

		<description>Wiz fan here.   I was searching the archives for an article Brian Windhorst wrote for last year's Cavs/Wiz playoff series about the various levels of basketball knowledge and fandom, it's cited here:

http://www.ohiomm.com/blogs/cavs/2007/04/23/so-you-want-more-xs-and-os-eh/#comments

--but the link is dead.    Anyone know where I can get a copy?   Or hey maybe it can be re-posted someplace.  One of the better articles I've read on _how_ to watch a basketball game and interpret what you're seeing.</description>

		<description>Hi Douglar, who cares about Kobe vs Lebron right now?  I'm sure most Cavs fans don't.  We'll worry about Kobe only if we somehow claw our way to the finals and the Lakers are the West representative.  This, of course, seems highly unlikely right now, but who knows, it could happen.  I would love to see the matchup, though.  

Did anyone tonight watch the Spurs just manhandle the Suns on the road to go up 3-0?  From what I recall, the Spurs last year in the WC Finals beat Utah rather easily the first two games at home, then got smoked in game 3 in Utah.  They've learned their lesson and played hard in game 3 in Cleveland last year and then tonight against the Suns.  That's what championship caliber teams who are focused do - don't take anything for granted and play each game in the playoffs like it's your last.  I hope the Cavs also learn from the embarrassment they suffered last game and come to play with intensity each game in the playoffs from now on.</description>

		<description>Lecavalier, I love how Cavalier fans use literally 10 total plays to determine that Lebron shuts down Kobe. That's laughable. It's just not a large enough sample size for you guys to act like it's definitive proof. If he guarded Kobe the whole game (which he hasn't done), and shuts him down, then I'll gladly agree he can do it. And if he really can shut down Kobe, shouldn't all of you be ashamed that he doesn't play defense like that all the time, it's even more of an indictment about his character if he only shows up in a few games a season on the defensive end. Kobe's never been content to do that.</description>
