The leader of Team Cleveland was able to lead his team to a victory.

Darnell Jackson played 11 seconds but did not score for the winners.

Great second half and all around team effort. Mo, LeBron, Andy, Shaq, and Moon all played very good games.

It was a very nice Christmas present for those of us who don't have the Lakers on our top five list of favorite professional teams to root for. I hope the very same thing happens in the finals of the NBA Championships. In fact, to be perfectly honest, I really hope that the Lakers don't even get to the NBA Finals.

Cleveland played a hell of a game today, and I give them 100% credit. I wish a few more Lakers would have showed up to play, but I guess you can't win em all.

Great game by the good guys, one stat that was good to see was our bench outscored the Lakers by a huge margin 20-7 or something close to that.
Very fun game to watch with the nephews!

Jawad Williams also played one minute but did not score for the winners. Thought everyone should know.

Nice win by the Cavs...The Lakers players sure do wine a lot about calls or noncalls, it was getting old watching cry about every foul. jmo

Speaking of which, BW just reported that several Cavs players feel the shot by Kobe on Mo was intentional..

35 seconds into that clip for those who didn't see it..

Yeah I was just going to post that actually. On the normal game camera it looked like it wasn't intentional but with the other views it definitely looks fishy as it appears that Kobe did in fact know where he was on the court and everything. Kobe's had a history with some sketchy elbows before, it wouldn't really surprise me either way.

Check this one out too..

At about the 1:17 mark, right after Kobe gets blocked by Shaq the first time, as he bounces back he hits Mo with an elbow



That also looked kind of intentional..

Kobe is the biggest crybaby in the NBA. He always thinks he is fouled and he cries about it all the time.

Great win by the Cavs, but it means very little at this point. It does keep them on a winning streak that could possibly propel them towards that number one seed in the east, although we still have a lot of games to be played. The intensity was great by the Cavs, but in 11 games on Christmas day, the Lakers are only 4-7. They don't always bring it for whatever reason on this holiest of days, so I won't heap a lot into the win.

I love the Leboob drinkers who are all hopped up after a regular season win. Yeah baby, we just beat the Lakers. Oh wait, it don't mean a thing if you ain't got that ring. 'Nough said there.

Kobe was taken out of the game by the strong defense of the Cavs. Shaqdaddy decided to play, and the Cavs road it well. Were there some missed calls, yeah, but that happens. We Cavs fans have seen a big cry baby too. Just look at my avatar for a refresher people.

The Lakers fans must have taken a cue from Cleveland fans. So answer me this, which scenario is worse......Foamfinger gate at the Forum or BeerBottlegate in Cleveland. We have no leg to stand on when trying to say classless LA fans.

Leboob will head back to his palatial estate just outside Fairlawn to hang with his posse and play Xbox, while Kobe can retire to his crib and see the glistening rings he has. Eh, I'd rather have the glisten than the Xbox.

Hey littleman Devil, why don't you try and wring a little more juice out of Leboob's jock. You seem parched today!!!

Yes they did. Now, after the performance yesterday, does this Cavs team have the pieces needed to win it all?????

Kobe was being a huge bitch yesterday. I wish someone would have laid him out.

Watch the slow-motion replay and you can tell Kobe knows EXACTLY where Williams is. Follow his eyes. He turns his head as the collision gets close so it doesn't look intentional.

Kobe is a cheap-shot artist... and this isn't anything new. What happened to the natural act of his arms flailing out to hit people with elbows during his shooting motion? Oh that's right, it stopped once the league stepped up and called him out.

This stat means absolutely nothing. And please dont say "We" Cavs fans because you are definitely not a fan.
