so what happened with soulja boy or whatever?

 

[Griffin]

I really dislike arrogant players like Arenas. For that reason alone, I'll root for the Cavs.

 

[PoolBoy]

wow cavs wiz is going to be fun to watch. this game is getting dirty, gilbert just hit a LONG 3 and when lebron was on the ft line they showed stevenson on the bench and you could read his lips saying man this guys a (female dog)

 

[Ronin]

Antawn Jamison with a 10 rebounds already, and there's another three pointer by Gilbert Arenas.

 

[TheHopToad]

Washington is taking the strategy of trying to beat the crap out of Lebron. Not even out of the first quarter of the first game, and they've already whacked him in the face and made him bleed, they fouled him hard and knocked him to the floor, and grabbed his elbow on another.

So this either fatigue LBJ and combined with his back issues he will wear down and be less effective........OR....Lebron will get pissed off, man-up and destroy the Wizards.

 

[Ronin]

He's on Fire!

 

[Ronin]

Omg!omg!

 

[Suns_fan69]

Lebron with a simply nasty dunk. That man can elevate.

 

[WuRaider]

I really dislike arrogant players like Arenas. For that reason alone, I'll root for the Cavs.

He's not Kobe arrogant, hes entertaining funny arrogant. HIBACHI!

 

[Suns_fan69]

I can't help but feel I'm being reprimanded for something when Stephen A Smith is talking. He needs to develop an inside voice.
