One off game. That's all it was, right? Yeah, sure. Until game two rolled around and Lebron's already suspect perimeter game was exposed for all the world to see. Sure, he's the most exciting player in the NBA, that is, if you haven't already jumped on the Chris Paul bandwagon, but dear God, are we seriously going to overlook this? Are we for real, in all our skeptical wisdom as fans and writers, going to look past a 19% shooting effort and 17 turnovers in two straight games? And not just any two games. We're talking two straight games in the second round of the playoffs. You know, the series that, if you were to win it, you're suddenly four wins away from the NBA Finals. I mean, I hate to say it, but isn't this kind of all sorts of hilarious? Bare with me folks, but I'm going to go out on a limb here. Despite what Stephen A. Smith (the A stands for something other than his parents intended) and others want you to believe, Lebron "King" James, is in full choke mode.

For Mike Brown and the Cleveland Cavaliers, there are two ways to look at the reality of being down 2-0 in the NBA Finals to the San Antonio Spurs: they pack their tails between their legs and run away, or they make adjustments and take the fight to the Spurs.
For the fans of the NBA, and fans of quality basketball for that matter, we pray it's the latter. (1274 words in story) Full Story By kroberts, Section NBA
Now that the world is back to spinning on it's axis and Lebron James is slowly coming down off his high from getting to the Finals, we can clarify some things. First and foremost, Lebron James is STILL not Michael Jordan. He's not even Kobe Bryant. Granted, what he did against Detroit and throughout the playoffs was unbelievable, and downright special, but it wasn't Michael. It was, well, what we expected. You cannot bring this much hype to the table as the so-called "face of the NBA" and not win some playoffs series or get to the final series. And yes, Kevin Garnett, that means up until now your career and all of it's accomplishments mean nothing. But really, to take that next step, Lebron needs to win the whole thing. Not next year. Not in three years. This year. The difference between Jordan or Kobe and James? Not that James has never won a title, more, the other two guys never lost one.
