Game 7 | Cavaliers vs Knicks | November 6, 2009 | 8:00 PM EST

How the hell did you guys watch the ESPN broadcast????? I just turned to it for the first time all night for 5 seconds and all I saw was LBJ and Jay Z hugging and LeBron in Knick photoshopped signs. Jesus

What a dumb ass softball question. "What is the one prerequisite for anywhere you go"

ESPN spoon feeding Lebron the quotes. Give me a break.

LeBron's answer to that question pissed me off. Fuck next year. You have a team to focus on right now. All you have to do is say "listen, I'm not worried about next season. I'm focused on the team that we have in this current season and I'm going to do everything in my power to lead this team to a title" and just leave it at that.

Hickson didn't record a rebound in 13 minutes. I'm not sure this is really a knock on him though, we were knocking everything down while he was in so there were very few offensive boards to grab, and on D he was guarding a 3 point shooter most of it, so not a lot of chances for D-boards...

Ah yes, hubie brown calling a game. Finally, some sanity from ESPN.

Wow, all this negativity is blowing my mind. You'd think we just lost the game.

As for LeBron and the celebrities - what is he supposed to do? Blow them all off? Walk straight into the locker room and not talk to anyone? C'mon Son! That's silly. He is the whole reason that anyone showed up for this game tonight. He's the main attraction. Do you think they all came to see David Lee? Of course he's going to shake their hands and bullshit with them.

Besides, he's young, rich, and has the day off tomorrow. Who wouldn't want to party in Manhattan with celebrities? Sounds like fun to me.

As to his taste in baseball teams, I can't defend that. But bottom line, he just won the game for us. Why all the hate?

LeBron is a douche, guys. He may be the best basketball player in the world who plays for our team, but he's still a douche.

Ugh LeBron pisses me off sometimes. I'll buy Los Angeles or Boston as the mecca of basketball, but New York? Bullshit.

that mecca bullshit is so annoying. its the mecca for playground basketball and high school hoops - the knicks just happen to be the closest nba team...almost like lumping in the current browns with massilon's and canton's history for football

My main thought on Lebron and 2010 are basically that his decision will reveal what kind of person he truly is. I'll leave it at that.

Someone enlighten me. I know this game was on both ESPN and FSOHIO. Why did many in this thread put yourselves through the crap of ESPN announcers referring to 2010 and NY and James and all the crap? Is it something you had to do because you cannot get the Ohio station, or was this a choice to put yourselves through the 2010 crap you got on ESPN.

Thanks for your insights.

What an absolutely shameful broadcast by ESPN.

That was a joke....

It really was perhaps the most disgusting display of cock sucking I've ever seen. Worse than the Favre-cam. Such blatant bias. I hate it. At least we got the MSG trip out of the way early on.

Shaq stunk it up. I'm his most loyal fan but I am always as honest as possible when it comes to his playing. Go to any message board from the heat til now (didn't have net when he was a Laker and b4), I tell it like it IS! Now, Shaq better not let Howard kick ass or I'll cry...

Listen, I will always cheer for LeBron so long as he is on the Cavs, but as a person, I can't stand him at times and I am losing a lot of respect for him. I can't even say I like him as a person anymore, I kind of just put up with him.

Can everybody please seriously settle down. We won. We killed the whole game. Did we coast? YA ITS THE KNICKS! Stop hating on LeBron because he played well in the first quarter and didn't play THAT well the rest of the game. So he didn't score 50+. If you seriously critizce him for not playing like that everygame and him just being selfish than you would really really appreciate the second half and even the second quarter where he lets the team play and sets the team up. By the way I actually think LeBron answered those questions extremely well after the game. It didn't sound like he was trying to be an attention whore for saying anybody would love to be there and downplaying his stature. Yes people MSG is actually pretty historic, look it up. It has nothing to do with how good they are doing now. This is seriously the worst game thread of the year by far and people thought some of the other ones were bad.

If we lose to the magic...i don't even want to think about how this site is going to implode. *shutters* If this is the way we act after a win then....lord help us.

Lol @ Jeff Van Gundy saying Lebron should sign for the minimum
