I don't mind Mo going 2 of 8, as long as he's still getting to the FT line, which he did 8 times I believe..

He's being much more assertive and is actually playing more like a traditional PG right now...

Yes, he was a perfect 8 of 8 last night.

12 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds, and ZERO turnovers.

I'd really like to hear why Cowherd thought that Cleveland's role players are once again disappearing.

If it is just because LeBron went off last night then he is an idiot. LeBron is going to have these games where he is just simply in the zone from anywhere on the court. Doesn't mean he doesn't trust the guys that are shooting 50+% during the game, it just means that he is shooting close to 70% from the field.

Hell the starters, outside of Bron, shot 50%+ in the first game of the series.

When LeBron goes 16/23, jsut get the hell out of his way.. I never heard MJ or Kobe criticized when they went for 40 in a playoff game.. I mean the guy did have 8 rebounds and 8 assists as well..

Bayless and Cowherd are idiots, especially Cowherd when it comes to the NBA..

Bayless just writes for shock value, sadly he should take his job seriously because he does have some knowledge of the game...

I don't watch much ESPN anymore, and I specifically stay away from 1st Take/Cold Pizza.

Cowherd said that the role players disappeared?

I thought the role players are why the Cavs won that game. Jamario Moon was clutch as hell.....Lebron is going to get his...but when a guy steps up like Parker(1st Half) and Moon(2nd Half), the Cavs are tough to beat. I thought that the Bulls played about as well as they could and the bench and role players were the difference.

I just don't see where he can say anything negative about how the supporting cast has played outside of the overall team defense last night.

Shaq was in foul trouble.

Jamison shot his normal 50% once again proving right around the 15 point area.

Then you have Moon and Parker that just hit big 3 after big 3.

If Cleveland is getting 29 points from their bench while still get double digits from Williams, Jamison, and James then we'll win the championship.

In the losses to Orlando last year, the Cavaliers had 14 points/10 points/8 points/5 points from the bench. So Cowherd can suck my left testicle because Cleveland has scored more points from our bench in TWO playoff games than they did in the ENTIRE Magic series.

They did their job, got you guys all fired up. They're both just all about shock value and being different.

Fired up doesn't have to relate to anger in any way.
