09 Playoffs- Cavaliers Vs Magic series thread

When LA lost by 30 in Boston last season, Kobe came out and faced the music.

With a flurry of scatalogical metaphors, if I remember correctly. You're right, that's much more mature.

When LA lost by 30 in Boston last season, Kobe came out and faced the music. James needs to grow up.

He also walked off after game 7 against the Suns without congratulating the other team.

He quit that game at halftime, so the Suns should feel honored that he was on the floor at all during the second half.

I remember when Kobe quit in that playoff game against the Suns several years back. He tried to spin it, but there is no spinning quit.

But.. how did Cleveland lose? It's rigged remember? Stern wanted Cleveland, why didn't they win?

I'm sure the Magic will all get the flu and Cleveland will go to the finals instead now right?

It's biased, not rigged, and in this case Orlando had a large enough margin of superiority that they were able to overcome it. It's just like if you spotted one team five points at the start of every game: It wouldn't be fair, but the disadvantaged team could still prevail.

Yeah, Kobe's never done that.

You must be registered for see images

He hasn't. Even against the Suns game seven, he walked off the court but did his required press conference.

Game 4 looked pretty poorly officiated in favor of Cle, but its was tough for the refs to overcome the Magic's inability to miss a 3.

James said he sent an e-mail to Howard following Saturday's game.

"It's hard for me to congratulate somebody after you just lose to them," he said. "I'm a winner. It's not being a poor sport or anything like that. If somebody beats you up, you're not going to congratulate them. That doesn't make sense to me. I'm a competitor. That's what I do. It doesn't make sense for me to go over and shake somebody's hand."

Have to love winners who never win anything.

i know. lbj should know that in competition, there will be winners and losers. sad that he cant be more graceful about this.

he's lost games before, so did he walk off from all of them without a congratulatory handshake?

or was this game 6 his first lost?
