I know how you feel, man - nobody believes when I say stuff that I can't back up either...

Hey, I'd be impressed if you just could do what most 5th graders can. Attain basic reading comprehension skills.

I never once said I can do what LeBron can do. But hey, don't let the facts stop you from putting words into my mouth. Maybe you can't read, if not, I do apologize.

What I said was, for a player like LeBron, THAT SHOT wasn't so hard. I also said I think I hit that shot 50% of the time.

I never once said I'm anywhere near as good LeBron. I never once said LeBron sucks. I never once said the shot was easy.

Heck, I even admitted I didn't hit it 50% of the time, but only 35%. Why would I care if you believe that or not? I just did it for my own benefit.

But don't let the truth stop you from sounding like a massive jackass.

And I don't want to hear a peep from anyone, especially a mod, about being rude. Because I've been nothing but polite (until now) while others have been down right rude and spewing libel.

(do you have video of you hitting that shot 35%???)

Kisser? That's G-rated...

mary · 05-26-2009, 09:13 PM

I made a left turn the other day.

I don't really see what the big deal is.

I have also made a 5 ft putt.

One time during basketball practice, I ripped the ball right out of this girl's hands.

I have bowled a strike.

These are just a few of my many sports accomplishments.

Back on-topic - I think there's a game on.

If that's a shot LeBron SHOULD hit 50% of the time, then why did he have a look of total disbelief on his face when it sank?

Again, I didn't say he should hit it 50% of the time. I said it wasn't that hard a shot. Doesn't mean it was easy either, but it wasn't like Rex Chapman's three.

If it wasn't a hard shot, then why was the best player in the NBA shocked when he hit it?

Because despite being the best player (or 2nd best) in the NBA, he's a lousy 3-point shooter.

So hitting a shot that he's not good at doesn't constitute as a "hard shot"?

(wait - I thought you said he could hit that shot 50% of the time

)

CadBane · 05-26-2009, 09:53 PM

Goodness, if I'm LeBron I drive EVERY time in the next 6 minutes. That last whistle came way after he missed. He will go to the line every time if he drives.

But he didn't - instead he took the HARD SHOT (and this fact still hasn't changed...)

I said not that hard. You're trying to make something out of nothing. Obviously it's not a lay-up, but at the same time it's a shot he can hit 2 or 3 times out of 10 I'd imagine. Again with 1 second left, you'll take those odds.

I'm talking about tonight...as in the game going on now...obviously he couldn't drive with one second left. I'm sure you grasp that much.

You keep changing your argument here - first LeBron isn't clutch because he hit a shot that you think he should hit 50% of the time (even though the look on his face said otherwise), then you start talking about how you can make that shot 50% of the time, then you report that you can actually only hit it 35% of the time, then you harass a sheep, then you claim that LeBron isn't clutch because he should hit that shot 2 or 3 times out of 10...

What's your beef again?

CadBane · 05-26-2009, 10:07 PM

My only points were: A. LeBron isn't that clutch imo
B. The gamewinner he hit wasn't that hard and was more of a fluke.

CadBane · 05-26-2009, 10:08 PM

Orlando trying to give it away.

CadBane · 05-26-2009, 10:08 PM

Nice FT Choosen One.

CadBane · 05-26-2009, 10:10 PM

Ever so clutch by LeBron down the stretch.

And wtf is Pietrus thinking?

CadBane · 05-26-2009, 10:15 PM

Wow. Shard.

chumdawg · 05-26-2009, 10:15 PM

Questionable shot...but I guess.

DirkFTW · 05-26-2009, 10:16 PM

nice!

I thought so at first too. But on replay it looked like a good look. D12 set him a great pick, and Shard likes that spot. A bit quick though.

mary · 05-26-2009, 10:17 PM

It should be real easy for LeBron to hit a game winning shot here.

CadBane · 05-26-2009, 10:18 PM

Lolz. Let's see what he does after that "foul".

mary · 05-26-2009, 10:18 PM

What crap.

CadBane · 05-26-2009, 10:19 PM

God's a LBJ fan too.

CadBane · 05-26-2009, 10:21 PM

Lol, Vaginao clearly fouled Howard on that lob. And the LeBron ft's were a total joke, he slipped. Rigged.

mary · 05-26-2009, 10:22 PM

I wouldn't have called that one either.

Howard was hooking Side Show Bob's arm..not the other way around.

Fidel · 05-26-2009, 10:23 PM

it´s probably time to stop watching this crap.

there are other sports with actual refs.

Howard was all over him. That coulda easily been called offensive.

The Lebron foul was a lil' weak but there was contact. I've seen worse get called, but they could have let 'em play on that one.

Exactly.

chumdawg · 05-26-2009, 10:25 PM

Would this game please end already so that I can get back to "Fourth and Long," which I missed that night? Cripes!

I miss the days when that "drive"...wait, I think that needs double quotes!!...""drive"" by Lebron doesn't get your ass bailed out by free throws with a second left. Good grief.

Thespiralgoeson · 05-26-2009, 10:26 PM

I'm amazed they actually called that foul on Pietrus. If that were Dirk driving to the hoop, no way would they call that.

DirkFTW · 05-26-2009, 10:26 PM

Is there a worse dribbler in the NBA than Hedo?
