Thoughts?

There's no way you can convince me that Lebron just "had a bad game", he's one of the greatest players in NBA history, maybe the greatest ever, you don't just have a bad game.

He took 14 shots, all terrible shot selections, passed the ball to another teammate in times of need, and play half ass defense. He simply didn't care about the result of the game.

Now why would he do this? The only theories I can come up with is he wants to play a game 7 in Cleveland for all the glory, and he wanted to see if his teammates could step up in a crunch situation.

Here's hoping to a game 6 and 7 victory, go Cavs, may the force(and Lebron James) be with you.

I'm not sure if he tanked it or it was just a case of I don't care. Which I guess is really the same thing.

But he put himself and "his" team into a bad situation by doing whatever it was he was doing.

Glory of what? It's the second fucking round. A miraculous game seven victory only gets them a date with the red-hot Orlando Magic.

Does it get any worse then this?
My whole week has tanked all because of a stupid basketball team and it's star.
I want to believe it isn't over but we all know the team has sucked since they sat everybody with a couple weeks left. Been bad since then. They just haven't been the same team. I don't see anything changing Thursday. Not sure I can even watch.

Watching all of this unfold on here is almost as good as watching the game last night.

Sadly, last nights game did affect my mood for a few hours. Today, we just made fun of them....so it is all good. This is the first time since "the fumble", that my mood was affected by a professional sports game.

I mean, it affects my mood because I would have been much happier if they won, but it doesn't "tank" a whole week.

Leboob just showed us how poor a true leader he is. Nothing really to think about this other than that.

Oh yeah, and he could care less about Cleveland....he'll be gone in 6 weeks to LA or NY.

LeBron didn't lose. The Cavs lost. They quit like bitches. I can't remember the last time I saw such a pitiful display. I don't think they came out trying to lose. I just don't think they cared either way.

Well, it does feel better to believe this than "he's tanking games in order to bow out early to "justify" an eventual decision that he's already made to move on to a different team".

God, I was as pissed as anybody but this is just stupid..

I'm not even talking about Sleeper, because I know he's just messin around, but seriously, some of the stuff is pathetic..

I know I posted some dumbshit last night, but that was 1/2 beer and 1/2 frustration speaking.. Now I'm sober on both fronts and this shit is stupid.

LeBron is not the type of guy to "quit".

He's also not the type of guy to stop competing because his "heart is already out of Cleveland".

We'll see what happens tomorrow night.

Maybe the game was fixed and LeBron was just doing his part to make sure the spread was covered. I mean since we are discussing impossible explanations I just thought I would throw that one out too.

Remember when Kobe refused to shoot against the Suns? Much more of an epic breakdown than LeBron had in game 5. Now that is ancient history--amazing how many people tried to write LeBron off and say he'd always be remembered for that one game. Yeah right.

I Wear Pants...lack of effort could be from anything. Maybe he and Brown got into an argument (makes sense since Z finally played).

It could be from pain in elbow.

Maybe he wasn't feeling well?

Maybe his girlfriend and he were in a fight?

I mean, who knows. He is still in his 20s and this is the first time he really has tanked in his career. He isn't perfect but I agree with others...NO WAY he tanked it on purpose. That isn't HIS character.
