No problem with Lebron on first team D again. He is the most versatile defender in the world and held opponents to something like 27% shooting against him. I saw he held Melo to 30% shooting in their series as well.

Bron is a great defender. He and Danny Granger(33) don't see eye to eye on the court lol

This series has been brutal. Still think the C's will win the East but they're tough to watch at times

The Magic become more of a joke with each passing day.

Dwight Howard is now my most disliked pro athlete in sports

That's what I thought, heard Broussard say tonight on countdown that they actually have a good relationship.

We actually agree on something. Can not stand Howard.

I dunno man, he seems to be a little jealous of Howard. He'd probably end up shipping him to New Orleans or Detroit or something.

Favorite moment of 2012 for me was when Stan Van set him up in the interview. Pure gold.

ah, well I guess if they do have a good relationship it could work, but maybe Shaq needs to start up the chain a little slower. Like take an assistant coaches spot and work with only Howard. I just can't picture Shaq taking anything seriously enough to be in charge of running a team.

Dont think he's at Brons level just yet but he's getting close.

He's going to end up going where he wants and the Magic will be left with nothing

Why would he be jealous of Howard? I think he's just tired of Howard stealing his act.

I don't know, he just comes off as jealous to me. Could just be that he wants to be known as the only Superman the NBA has seen, but that is really a dumb thing to be upset about.

The Sixers have gotten a lot of breaks this postseason, but they've won about 6 more games than anyone could have expected.

Kinda want Boston in game 7 because I don't think Philly can handle Miami.

He also played on him like 1/8th the time. Hes on first team D because of reputation and that its a popularity contest. He usually guards the other teams weaker perrimeter players

IF, huge if. But if, they play OKC in the finals, I bet you he spends very little time checking KD

Did you watch that series? Shane Battier had Melo like 75% of the time.

How could Shane have him 75% of the time when Shane plays 20 minute tops. Lebron shut Melo down basically the entire time he covered him, the 30% shooting proves that.
