LeBron (Photo. Mannion)LeBron thanked the Bulls for improving his title chances at the trade deadline by stealing another piece of their team yesterday. After the Bulls had fought for three quarters to grab the lead, then extended it to eight points with 10 minutes remaining, LeBron put on the cape and went to work. He drove the stake through Chicago’s heart with a dunk in traffic where ‘Bron could have put a sticker on the glass on level with Dwight Howard’s. The final damage: 37 points, 6 boards, 6 assists … Chicago had gone ahead at the end of the third with a 10-0 run, capped by a Larry Hughes-to-Tyrus Thomas half-court lob. After the play you could see Ty and Hughes actually smiling. Minus some of Joakim Noah’s out-to-lunch moments, that might have been the first time we’ve seen anyone affiliated with the Bulls smile all season … While Hughes (23 pts) got buckets against his former team, Drew Gooden’s double-double was about as empty as they come. The positives of Drew’s 11-point, 10-board outing were wiped out by the missed layups, the clumsiness in the paint and the passes he whistled into the stands. Ben Wallace (who apparently did not get a Cavs-colored version of his Big Ben Starburys) had 7 points, 8 boards and 2 blocks against the franchise he was supposed to take over the hump that is now being crushed under the hump … Delonte West — already battling Big Z for status as Cleveland’s second-best player — pulled a Manu move on Kirk Hinrich, giving him the drive-left, behind-the-back-dribble-right, lefty pull-up jumper … When he’s not rocking the braids, Shannon Brown looks a lot like Chris Brown … Kobe looked irritated/angry just walking into the locker room in street clothes hours before Lakers/Mavs. Or you could say he was just focused. Whatever it was, Kobe was locked in the entire game. With 1:19 left in the fourth, he got hammered by Erick Dampier and converted the three-point play. Then after committing a critical turnover on L.A.’s next possession, Kobe made up for it by stripping Dirk and getting the Lakers the ball back. And when Lamar Odom bricked both free throws, Kobe out-witted Brandon Bass for the offensive board. Back by chants of “M-V-P!” Kobe went to the line and drained both freebies to make it a three-point game with six seconds left … Under normal circumstances that would put L.A. in very good position to ice it, assuming they foul Dallas and not allow a three-pointer. But since Phil Jackson apparently doesn’t believe in that philosophy (so says Jeff Van Gundy), Jason Kidd and Dirk ran a perfect inbound give-and-go to get Dirk an open three. Buckets. Overtime … So down by three with 15 seconds left in OT, the Mavs went to Kidd (15 pts, 11 asts, 4 stls), and the Lakers AGAIN didn’t foul. At least not on purpose. When Kidd got to the basket with no resistance, he got popped on the head by Pau Gasol and converted the layup. Upon hearing the whistle, Gasol sank to his knees like he’d just lost the kids’ college money at the track. But Kidd short-armed the free throw, Kobe sank his shots at the line, and Dallas had another chance, down three with 9 seconds left. And AGAIN the Lakers didn’t foul, but this time Dirk (30 pts, 13 rebs) air-balled a three, and Odom hit the one free throw he needed to seal it … Kobe ended up with 52 points and 11 boards. Funny how whenever Kobe has a monster game or a hot shooting streak, no one mentions the pinky finger. But when he’s missing shots (or free throws like he was early yesterday), the announcers blame the finger. It’s like Kobe has a built-in excuse for the rest of the season. At one point he was 3-for-10 from the stripe — when talk of the pinky surfaced — and then knocked down his next 17 straight … Van Gundy called Violet Palmer a “very good” ref (to which we know a lot of players and coaches would disagree), but then added that “the other one” wasn’t good. And just in case you didn’t catch exactly who JVG was talking about, he said, “She cost me a game in Cleveland one time.” … Not sure why so many people were acting like the Rockets beating Washington and Memphis without Yao was a big deal, but knocking off the Nuggets last night — while only giving up 89 points in the process — was pretty damn impressive. T-Mac went for 22 points and 6 dimes, and Shane Battier scored 20, but the story of the day was defense. A.I. and ‘Melo went from smoking the Clippers the other night to the tune of 30-something apiece to being held to 14-for-39 shooting (35 percent) and 36 points between them … If you remember a while back, Gilbert Arenas went on national TV promising he’d be back on the court for the Wizards’ March 2 game against the Hornets. No dice. Gil and Caron were still sidelined last night, but the Wiz managed to blow out N.O. regardless. As bad as Washington looked when Arenas and Butler went down at the end of last season and missed the playoffs, it’s a wonder they haven’t fallen apart with all the injuries this year. Props to Jamison and DeShawn Stevenson for stepping their game up, and Eddie Jordan for really earning his money … Still coming off the bench — but playing almost twice as many minutes as starter Marcus Williams — Devin Harris put up 21 points in a loss to San Antonio. Makes sense, though, ’cause Harris is one of the few people in the League fast enough to stay with Tony Parker. But TP still went off for 25 points, 8 boards and 7 assists … When we were in New Orleans for All-Star break, we saw Ryan Hollins wandering the streets about four times, and every time someone in the group mistakenly thought Hollins was Jamario Moon. So it was kind of weird yesterday to see Hollins wearing Moon like a doppleganger coat when he dunked on his head in the Bobcats win over Toronto … Mike Dunleavy hit for 36 for the second straight game. OK, so those scoring outputs came against the Raptors and Bucks defenses, but that’s still impressive … This Chris Webber debacle in the Bay is becoming almost comical. C-Webb started again last night in Golden State’s win over Portland, but disappeared after the first few minutes. Seriously, he only played 8 minutes all night. We’re at a point where Austin Croshere is clearly a better player than Webber, and the team is visibly worse when he’s on the floor. We can’t think of a reason why the Warriors shouldn’t pull the plug … We’re out like stopping Dunleavy …

Kobe should be MVP. He has his team at the top of the west. Lebron’s squad would not even make the playoffs if he were in the west. Lebron if he is going to go back to the finals, he’s going to have to do even more than he’s doing now to beat the Pistons. Kobe put up 52 in the game of the day. Somehow it seemed like they gave Lebron all the love. He put on his cape. Kobe must have came to the game with his on already.

Sad to see CWebb go out like this. I gotta say, though, for a multimillionaire who plays a game for a living, he hasn’t looked like he’s been having fun the last couple of years. Look at his facial expressions now, and compare them to the joyful Webb who came out of Michigan. Big difference. Wonder if Tyra can help him out….

oh and by the way, kobe is the one that put on a ‘cape’ he played DALLAS not the bulls, the lakers would’ve won against the bulls by 30.

CWebb’s buyout was a big payday, but it was over 2 yrs. I think he got something like $35 mil. He was earning like $38 mil. So he left Philly $3 mil. But the point is that he’s paid already and only the number is still on their cap.

Smitty313 says:
I’m not a Lebron hater, I love Lebron but the media is acting like he’s the only thing that matters with the NBA. Like he is the only guy to make it to a finals by his self. Iverson did the same thing. Lebron made it to the finals he didn’t win. On ESPN they keep talking about Lebrons 4th quater scoring to overshawdow Kobe’s 52 point game. Lebron is ahead of Kobe by 95 points in 4th quater scoring. What the don’t tell you is Lebron played in alot of close games and Kobe has played in alot of blowouts.
Tim Duncan has four rings and he dosen’t get any love from the media he might be the most consistent player ever.
D-Wade the media showed him love for a year and he actually won a ring.
All I’m sayinh is Lebron is not the only superstar in the NBA. Even when Jordan was dominating the NBA, other NBA superstars got the shine. You never seen thing like Barkley goes off for 52 but he’s still 95 points behind Jordan in 4th quarter scoring.

March 3rd, 2008 at 10:19 am
Smitty313 says:
The love LeBron gets is for people who’ve won multiple rings. Shaq, MJ, Duncan, Kobe (before Colorado). If it were about numbers Kobe should have won MVP two years ago when that crappy Lakers team almost beat the Suns. He was putting up 35 a game. You should never win a MVP if you play with two other allstars (Nash his two, KG this year). Kobe should win MVP this year, if not then Lebron but no one else. Not Chris Paul, not KG, it’s a two man race right now. Paul Pierce isn’t getting the credit he deserves for there wins, to me he’s still the Celtics best player.

Kobeef, it was Chris Mullin who signed Murphy and Dunleavy to those contracts. I think it took him about 20 games to realize he made a colossal mistake and that the team would go nowhere until they were gone. Getting Jackson and Harrington back was a huge steal.

I don’t wanna get into who was more impressive, BUT … LeBron was going against an under-500 team however it’s a team that has guys who have him scouted up and down (Hughes, Gooden).
The Mavs are good but not so much defensively. Who was guarding Kobe? Kidd (who just got carved up by Chris Paul and aint the defender he used to be), Bass (too young), Stack (too old) and who else? Dirk? Maybe if Kobe had dropped 52 on Josh Howard, but that wasn’t the case.

PF Webber
C Shaq (love the Big Fella, but when things get bad, he’s “injured”)
bench:

and how do Ray Allen and KG end up on your list? Both got traded, KG despite saying, “I want to retire in Minnestota” over and over until they dealt him anyway. Neither asked to be traded or “jumped to a contender” (Ray could’ve signed w/ Cleveland instead of Larry Hughes, for hte same money Seattle gave him and been much better off, that’s loyalty.) Wouldn’t put AI on that list either (he eventually got sick of the ineptitude of Billy King and what he was constantly surrounded by. Can’t say I blame him…) Wouldn’t include Boozer (what he did was slimy, but this is reserved for pulling that crap when you’re still under contract, not renegging on a verbal agreement you made as a FA)

So - based on some of the comments on the Kobe vs. LeBron MVP contest… is it better to have a horrible team so that people can say “if LeBron wasn’t on the team, they’d be in the lottery”, or is it better to have a half-decent team so that someone would argue “if Kobe wasn’t there, they’d be a lower playoff seed”?
March 3rd, 2008 at 3:46 pm
What is this!? says:
I feel bad for Iverson. Because that Denver team has to be one of the most heartless teams in the NBA. Even when AI has a bad game I feel good about his effort. But some of those players on that roster act like they don’t know what they are playing for. And some seem like they are just playing for STATS or All-Star games. The problem is this team seems to have no offensive sets, they play sort of helter-skelter, and seem to not be commited on defense. I thought I would never say this, but maybe…just maybe AI was better off in Philly. Nah…anything is better then his situation in Philly. LOL!
And to answer the question, I think it is safe to say that D-Wade is having a far worse season then Melo. D-Wade team is the worste team in the NBA. Denver is just inconsistant. But I feel like Melo doesn’t have no one to blame but himself. When I watch Denver play I feel like Iverson has done all he can do to try to will this team to want to win. You can’t teach people to have HEART…either they have it or they don’t. The sad part is if things don’t work out, the media will blame Iverson first and throw him under the bus like they always do…damn I wish AI would have went to play with KG (when he was a TIMBERWOLF) instead of getting traded to Denver, because at least then he would be playing next to a player who has as much heart as he does.

How ironic would it be if the Sixers made the playoffs while Denver and AI sat at home watching?
One thing about this Sixer team is they play hard and have heart, which is more than anyone can say for that Denver team, minus AI.
Carmelo is completely overrated to me, he does one thing and one thing only, score. He makes no attempt at defense, then whines when Denver doesn’t go after Artest.
Doesn’t rebound the ball for a dude that’s 6′9″.
He’s the most overrated player in the league to me.

Hey anyone recall that play where Dirk bumped into his own man and just fell crushed to the floor. If you ever get a chance to look at it again, mind you Dirk is a 7 footer, notice Dampier I think it was doesn’t hardly budge when they collide.
Dirk reminds me of that kid who gets hurt whenever he does something wrong or something doesn’t go his way, so he can blame it on something or someone else.
Dang Manu is supposedly getting MVP talk. Like that?? I mean he has been dynamic this year but I don’t know about MVP dynamic.
Deke is the myth. 41 still finger waving, and to the point where other players who get a play on him go back waving their finger. Dude you dunked on a 41 year old dude,… it ain’t that spectacular! On the other side of the coin though when Deke blocks yo attempt at 41 (supposedly cause I think he 54) yea that is spectacular.
Love permanent images in the mind:
M.J.’s shoulder shrug.
Shaq’s slinky shake running back down the court.
Deke’s finger wave of course.
Any of Zo’s scowls and Old C Webb’s after key plays.
AI putting his hand to his ear to hear the crowd.
KG hittin that heart to show he has heart.
Gatling, I think it was, dapping Kemp after he got crowned.
Gary Payton’s head shaking as he talks trash.
Gil and Larry both turning around before there three’s went in. Gil in a game, Larry in the three point contest.
Vince’s jump over a 7 footer in a game dunk.
And the new one, Kyle Korver acting like his nightmare has come to life as an opposing player shoots the J. LOL
Plenty more but those are some of my favs.
Anybody else got any?
Why Skip go And 1 on Denver during a play last night.
Currently 5th I think! How bout it!

I think it is sad that the Sixers might be in the playoffs with a record under .500. Thats the real sad part. And the media will twist it and act as if they are better off without Iverson, when the fact is they still suck, they are just in the East where everyone (besides the Celtics, Pistons, Magic and Cavs) SUCK! My nephews JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL b-ball team can make the playoffs in the east. It wouldn’t matter anyways if they made the playoffs, they will be right back at home within a week after getting swept by the Celtics or the Pistons.

^^ Also, i’m scared to see what that Nuggets team is going to look like when they go back to Philly for the first time with Iverson….that team will probably not show up again and LOSE just to make AI look like an @ss on national t.v…. Iverson will probably drop 50 on the SIXERS though
