Spurs vs. Cavs: Stat of the Game: 110%

110%, as in Lebron gave 110%. Seriously, it was awkward being in attendance and watching this guy play as if it were Game 7 of the NBA Finals. Perhaps he was channeling his inner MJ, wanting to win no matter what the circumstance. I still think someone should have approached him and said, "Hey man, it's the preseason. Go through the motions like everyone else so you don't make an ass out of yourself."
At this point, you may be wondering what this whole "Stat of the Game" thing is about. Well, your local analysts, Eric Blase and I, will be giving you a 'Stat of the Game' as part of PtR's recap. We will also write a "Stat of the Week" article that will be a full-out analysis in which we overwhelm you with numbers and graphs. But the "Stat of the Game" posts will simply give us an excuse to do what we love, that is write.
So, back to Lebron. He gave his signature baby powder move pre-game. You know, where he throws baby powder into the air as if he his Achilles about to take on the Trojans. I still think winning a championship should be a prerequisite to posing as a Greek god, but that's just me.
He also spent a good amount of time arguing with the scab refs. Apparently, they did not meet Lebron's expectations. Lebron even took an extra 20 seconds to berate an official after they had sent him to a free throw line. Maybe they called a block when it should have been a hack? Who knows? But Lebron was sure to correct them.
At one point, James took the ball to the hole three straight times. By this I mean he put his head down and went one on five three straight times. He was given the bailout call each time which was lucky since he was not converting any of those attempts without some scab help.
In the third quarter, a play was blown dead so Mason launched an innocent three pointer. I mean, it's preseason right? It's just a scrimmage, why not? Lebron was having none of it. He leaped into the air and snagged the ball with his right hand. He slammed the ball into his left as he stared Mason down. It's somewhat difficult to articulate how absurd Lebron was being, but I think you get the idea.
Lebron finished the game with 22 points in 20 minutes and we were all very proud and extremely impressed. With their preseason performance, it is apparent that the Cavs will be playing every game this regular season as if it's a must-win. Lebron solidified my belief that the Cavs have not figured out that they, and the Mavs, are the only teams in the NBA that take the regular season seriously. They will have a great record this season. They will probably only lose twice at home. And they will fall short of the championship yet again. You heard it here.

True on falling short
I don’t see the Cavs getting back to the finals no way! If so they will just fall to the mighty Spurs! And the Mavericks, won’t waste my breath on them.

Lebron is now stealing that from Garnett also, man. First the powder and now this, what next? is he going to start screaming after every play or start hitting his head with the ball?

I bet he steals Kobe’s ‘bottom jaw sticking out’ face, which Kobe stole from Garnett. Have we reached the point that everything has been done so stealing is the only option? If you are going to steal a move, I think the Sam Cassell dance is the way to go. When Kobe stole it, I couldn’t even get mad because it’s the greatest celebration ever.

I hope he steals the “Oh wow, I managed to do something with my left hand, let me look at it and see how that was possible” move by Shaq or Dwight. That’s gotta be the worst celebration move ever. I hope Blair tears out their left arms and looks at their left hands in shear amazement.

Wait, wait. After the ripping, with all the blood and gore with some veins sticking out – Is it
A. Blair looking at their hands or his hand?
or
B. Those buggers looking at Blair’s hands or both with sheer terror?
It’s b for me, way cool

If that ever were to happen, while the look of terror on their faces would definitely be priceless, their reaction of pain and shock would be expected. I think I would focus on the reaction that we get from Blair, since it’s an unknown. I can imagine him just looking at the ripped arm, with the puzzled look of an innocent beast. Blair would then trying to put the arm back as if Shaq were a Mr. Potato head. Shaq would be screaming and yelping, as Blair stuffs the shoulder ball into the socket back in somehow, and the gory, blood filled arm is actually held in place while Shaq continues to cry. Blair would then believe that everything is fixed, and want to resume the game.
I don’t know what my reaction to it would be. I would definitely be surprised, but I think I would GOL really hard if Blair rips an opponents arm.

Random and kind of funny. My dad had Thanksgiving Dinner with Danny Ferry, ex-Spur and GM of the Cavs. He said it was nice but he wanted to mix it up. So he asked Ferry if they paid Lebron extra money to throw the baby powder in the air. Ferry responded, “You have no idea,” as he shook his head.

I’m curious to know if MJ acted like this during his playing days. From the sound of it, maybe BronBron is taking this “being competitive, win at all costs, I hate to lose” thing too seriously?

Gonnna be honest . I was very impressed with how this ridiculoulsy gifted kid named Lebron James had been handling himself ….until the Handshake incident. Then the Dunk incident followed. Which was followed by “the king” wearing t-shirts that had “MVP” printed on them in super large print.
Wonder what the encore will be….

I am in the same wagon as Alamo above. Had nothing against Bronbron until his recent incidents. Never really liked him, but had to hand it to him for handling his fame reasonably well. I am still not even remotely a fan.
But, he is still very much a kid whose not had anywhere of a normal life really and has to grow up under the public spotlight. That’s not easy and all of these ‘incidents’ are really not such a big deal. Oh well, he didn’t shake their hand. Sure, it wasn’t good sportsmanship. But it can sure be acquired later on. There is a whole psychology discussion to be had here, and I have no background.
Basically, basketball wise I think he has yet to mature, and when that happens, it will be bad news. I don’t remember being afraid of early 2K Kobe, it’s still Shaq in my memories from then. But now, heck, Kobe really game himself the correct name. “Black Mamba” is kinda apt. Kobe is way too measured and can do anything and the only way to win is have a good night yourself or unsettle him.

MJ was a major dick, but it’s forgotten because he was the greatest player ever™. It’s the same way people forget Ayrton Senna was a major dick on track, because he happened to be brilliant and was killed in a race accident. You can say Muhammed Ali was a major dick to his opponents, but he was the greatest boxer ever.
So if you’re gonna be a major dick, you better have something to back it up. LeBron has a trip to the finals were he was swept and embarrassed by the Spurs, so he does not get a free pass for being a major dick.

ergo LaBron's Ego
The problem with James is he believes all the media hype about himself. He thinks the NBA owes him a championship ring. He won’t get it in 2010 because Cleveland won’t be able to get past Boston. Not that I’m a Celtic fan, but Shack will bog up the middle and fail to handle pick and rolls, making his weaknesses overshadow his fading strengths. Expect him to come down with injuries before the season is half over. Then Cleveland will be in the same boat as last year and face possible elimination in the first round. That might be enough for LBJ to abandon ship for some place like NYC. He is so enthralled with himself that he doesn’t realize that he still needs to improve portions of his game. There isn’t a player in the league that can do it all by himself. It takes quality teammates who understand their role. But if their superstar (s) are limelight buttheads that support role usually isn’t 100 percent and other teammates tend to stand around and watch. That’s why the Spurs are so good, not that they have the best players, but that they have players who really like their leaders and are willing to follow and do their part. It’s hard for players to like braggards like LeBron even if they say otherwise. It is only human. Thank God the SPURS have had the guidance of people like Popovich, Buford and remember — David Robinson.

as for new aussie stuff…its been a bit thin on the ground of late. empire of the sun have become a bit of a big thing, not into them much, but i don’t mind this, their biggest track (yeah, the video clip is a bit…theatrical). also like this track by bertie blackman. and this is fun, if now insanely overplayed now. and i like this, though she’s from new zealand (but somehow got nominated for australian recording industry assocation awards).
to be honest though, about 75% of my music purchases in the last 6 months have been atmospheric, ambient and “modern classical” type stuff.

There’s a difference between being playing with passion and being an ass.
Case in point: Manu is super-passionate with the way he plays the game, but you don’t see him trying to swat away shots long after the play has been whistled dead, and glaring at his oppenents. And he doesn’t refuse to be a sportsman after he is beaten. Lebron, on the other hand…

Ha. People love the King and I actually thought I would get more hate than love for this post. That being said, come on, man. You have to acknowledge that Lebron was being ridiculous in that game. Playing with passion? Yes. But it’s the preseason. For the love of whomever you believe in, why would he do that? My conclusion is that he is A-Rod. His publicist told him that he needs to be more like Mike and he took it to heart. This season, look out for a commercial that features a " Wanna be like Lebron" theme song.

i didn’t see the game, so i can’t comment outside of what you posted.
as i said in my reply to ATS, this is less about what lebron did, and more about the hypocrisy we’re skirting with here. if everyone’s favourite new spur had done what lebron did (outside of the goal-tending after the whistle thing), people would be singing his praises and talking about how he’s a lock for rookie of the year. everyone’s favourite espn star does it, and it gets ridiculed.
you compare him to a-rod (which, to me, means as much as me comparing someone to shane warne would for you…a-rod dated madonna, right?), say its a publicity thing. maybe. or maybe he still remembers 4-0 from 2007, maybe he remembers the magic bouncing him last season, maybe he just wants a ring and wants to set the tone early for his team mates.

And I was uncomfortable (to put it mildly) when i heard “allegedly” that TP acted like a brat when he was recalled from France by Pop cuz of the injury. Parker maybe in the right but my loyalty is to the team. No one in this team is irreplaceable. I repeat, no one.

cavs wont win 60...why?
on my opinion big shaq wont help them win they’ll win on my predictions 50-56 winning season.thats it,yes shaq with the suns and mare 2 yrs ago went to playoffs but fail to san antonio.then with out amare they fail.plus playing shaq and lbj means changing their pace in the game.his not dwyane his lebron,his hogs too much than wade plus shaq is not in shape period.plus their team is much with the hype you’ll forget that they’re only winning 50.plus san antonio is so underrated that theyll creep up.to ur surprise they’re the champs.if they loose to good teams they wont sursvive the eastern triangle,boston and orlando will eat them,.plus when we talk la. spurs will win against them,ron ron for trevor,id prefer trevor.his more athletic and loves to steal the ball and he showed that in th eplayoffs plus his 3pt accuracy is getting better,he’ll take advantage of houstons lack of offenseive weapons.l.a will loose against san antonio we’ve won against them last yr with trevor on how much more artest?!we’ve won against houston with him on too.cavs and l.a. are too much hyped.la will win 56-60.period.orlando 54-60.boston58-62 spurs 62-66.i would love to see the hyped and historical boston with rasheed or the also underrated orlando against us in the finals.

LeBron played like Dunleavy coached. What the hell was he thinking playing Thorton, Baron Davis, and Griffin in the 4th quarter of a preseason game. The only one you can kind of make a case for is Griffin since he is a rookie. Its not like Pop put in Mason for the last possession just to make the three. He left Jerrells, Hairston, and Williams out there to figure it out and see who would step up.
My stat would have been 12 FTA’s on 3 FGA’s for Hill. Impressive for Hill and embarrassing for the refs.

The officials were terrible. A guy near me kept screaming funny things at them when it got quiet. Like, “For the love of all that is holy, STOP BLOWING THE WHISTLE.” The amount of ghost calls was astounding. Even when they were in our favor, which many of them were, it was just unnecessary. I thought about trashing them but decided there will be plenty of opportunities for that in the future.
Going into the season, I had thought that being worse than the worst officials in professional sports would be impossible. But they are definitely proving me wrong. And to think, they ‘only’ called 61 fouls. Did you hear about the game that featured over 100 total fouls? Something to look forward to, I guess.
