MCW having a great game tonight against Cleveland

[Deano]

26 pts, 11 for 19 from field, and 6 assists so far. About 5 minutes to go in game and they are done 4.

11-19? But Syracuse guards can't shoot

11-19? But Syracuse guards can't shoot

The Grantland article about inefficient shooters goes in that direction

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Shooting is not his forte. Dont think it ever will be . But he will have a long career because of his vision, size, and passing ability. He shouldnt really be shooting form the outside much at all.

unfortunately for MCW the season is 82 games

 

[Fireball Jr.]

MCW was a stud: 30 points, 59% shooting, 8 assists. He's in a far better place than he was in Philly, playing for a playoff team coached by Jason Kidd. Tyler also got some time, thank heaven for 7:11, was guarding Kyrie (ouch!), was 1 for 4, a trey. Nice alley-oop for a slam, too.

Happy to see these two kids show they belong in The Association. Happy to see this, too.

The admins need to change your title from starter to Resident Lebron Apologist.

You are far more a fan of him than you are of any other team I've seen in your posts here.

Agreed, I was expecting see highlights from the game with MCW in some of them not Lebron.

Never any need to apologize for being a fan of the best basketball player in the world. Failure to realize, debate or acknowledge this isn't healthy.

Do you think Lebron realizes how much of a punk that celebration made him look to be? You don't see MJ, Kobe, or Melo doing that crap after hitting a shot that wasn't even a game winner, it just extended the lead late. Business as usual for those guys (and others), not for James though.

Can't we just focus on how well MCW did and not on the fact that we lost a nailbiter without Giannis?

Seriously? Have you ever watched any of those guys? They literally all used to/still pull like that.

Lebron a punk? That is funny. The shot was worth celebrating

Nope. Kobe's go-to would simply be turning around and standing there with his chin up (hard to explain, kinda like a 'yeah, I just did that, deal with it' look). Melo would do his typical 3-fingers against the head thing that he does for every 3. MJ wouldn't even have stuck his tongue out, he probably would have just jogged down the court with a -eating grin.

None of these guys would have gone into some pumped up, choreographed celebration like they just did something special, especially not in this situation. Lebron's a great player, but he's a douche on the court.

He's a whiner and one of the seemingly most disingenuous star players I've seen in a long time. Kobe and MJ are cocky, a**holes who own it. Lebron's a cocky a**hole who likes to act like the nice, humble guy.

Lol okay. I mean, if you're going to say his celebration is bad but other player's celebrations are fine, and then hold it against him for being a nice guy off the court instead of just being a dick 100% of the time like Kobe and MJ, I don't know what to tell you. But it seems like a pretty silly stance to take.

Nope.

If he seemed genuinely nice, I'd give him a shot. He rarely comes across as genuine, in my opinion. Obviously, you and others feel differently.

I'll take this guy as the greatest -

That is worthy of debate but I was talking currently. Right now I would say Jordan as well but LeBron isn't done yet

I'm guessing you had sarcasm here, but "shooting" well from the floor doesn't mean you're a good shooter, especially with a sample size of 1 game.

Yeah...think about that for a minute.

It was a very tongue-in-cheek comment. Some probably took it somewhat seriously because of the other discussions about our guards' shooting ability that I've been involved in haha.

Love the Greek Freak. Why wasn't he in the game?

Thrilled for MCW and Tyler that they're now playing for a playoff team and one of the best guards ever. Good to see a legit team on Lake Michigan other than the Bulls, a Bucks-Cavs matchup in the playoffs could be fun.

Nobody knows why Giannis didn't play. Kidd said he was going to bring him off the bench just to change things up and then he never put him in the game and refused to answer any questions about it post-game. He just said it was a "coach's decision". I'm down for a Bucks-Cavs or Bucks-Raptors series. I just don't want the Bulls because their fans will outnumber Milwaukee fans for the home games lol.

The fact that you included Melo is killing me for some reason.

It's going to be fun watching Lebron lose to San Antonio or Golden State this June!
