Did i sleep with yours? you quoting me for everything.

ohhhhhhhhhh

[GameTime_3]

im sitting rofling at the haters, just trying to point out some sort of weakness lebron has. ahah

I think some of you are missing the point. I for one think lebron is great but at a all star game i would like to see him pass the ball. The guy though he was playing for the cavs tonite. his numbers are good but did he really have to play as if he was the only player??? As i have said many time now! Reward the all star that let the game come to him not the all star that made the game all about him

I'm just annoyed that Lebron is the only one who seems to actually TRY to win MVP EVERY year at the ASG.

[LiquidFire]

ahha whatever man, everyones been hating all night.

This all-star 4th quarter still doesn't top Jordan's last All-Star game where Jordan hit a Fade-Away over Marion to take the lead by 2 and then Kobe got fouled at the last few sec to tie it and they went OT or double OT and KG took over to get the MVP. That was one of the Best All-Star games I've seen.

I thought I was the only one thinking that.

Lebron James had a good game, man if Kobe would have played in the game healthy then we would have seen a clutch performance from Kobe Bryant in the last 3 min of the game.

That 4th quarter was intense! One of the best quarters I've seen!
It was really nice to watch watching good players go at each other.
The reason why the West lost is because of the coasting from the 1st to 4th quarters. It's really disappointing seeing these players turn it up only in the 4th quarter.


As a Mav fan, Dirk was embarrassing out there. He should've been pulled out in the final minutes. This was maybe the first time Dirk ever had significant minutes, and he doesn't belong. His strength relies on set plays, which is non-existent in ASGs. Boozer or Melo would've been better replacements in the final seconds. TD was getting double and tripled team, LOL. Even in the ASG.

its okaym, bosh was too for us.
bosh's strength relies on the calls he get from the officials which is non-existent in ASGs.

LeBron was fine. The two Celtics jacking up shots down the stretch was a little annoying, though.

Ray Allen is selfless

Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed.

that was THE best all star game. hoped mj wins it, but kg refused to let him do so.

or atleast he would of played some defense on Lebron and made sure that he passed it

[TMU]

Allen scores 28 in what 18 minutes? Tell me how many minutes LeBron played tonight... almost doubled Ray's minutes. And who carried the East in the 4th quarter and prevented them from having a meltdown?

These delusional fans perhaps voted for LeBron simply because of that sick nasty dunk he had.

Blame Kobe for that, had Kobe not got fouled on the last shot to tie it, it would've never gone OT and MJ would've won it

yeah i dont understand why he tries to do it either. personally id like to see him skip the all star game entirely and rest but that will never happen.

you can always tell when lebron wants the mvp award in these all star games, i guess its an accomplishment for him

I didn't have a problem with Allens shots since they were normal shots for him. But Bosh and Pierce were the reason that the West had a chance to win that game. Their shot selection was just terrible in the 4th quarter. And Bosh made more bad plays than good for the entire game.

LOL lebron playd 30 minutes.

if it wasnt for lebron in the first 3 quarters, the game was a blowout. lebron kept them in it and ray finished it at the end.

Sometimes, the initial pass is just as important, if not more important, than the 2nd pass that leads to a made field goal. LeBron was the player who had the ball most in the 4th. He set players up to either take an open shot or to pass it to a wide open player, due to his ability to attack the basket.

And sometimes the initial pass, is just that, the inititial pass. The importance of which can only be furthered by the next pass and most importantly the finish. Allen finished.
