Lol at those comments on the video. Whats even funnier is that Lebron hacks the hell out of Josh Smith on that same play but gets a no call. Unbelievable.

taken from CL Did this really happen? How much more obvious can it get that the refs are helping Cleveland? Its no wonder they beast so much in the regular season especially at home but lose in the playoffs when the refs decide to play fair. On top of that Cavs shoot more then twice as many free throws and Lebron shoots more FTs then the Hawks entire team. I would be so pissed right now if I was a Hawks fan. Happy birthday Lebron, signed David Stern.

Hope the Blazers win so Clips fans will shut up.

Delonte West, Jamario Moon, even Mo Williams, Anthony Parker. Another thing I forgot to mention, the Cavs are much deeper then the Lakers without Kobe and Lebron. In case you havent noticed the Lakers havent been healthy at all this year. We were without Pau for a while, didnt matter cause we had Kobe. Imagine a Kobe less Lakers without Pau. Bynum also has injury problems. Artest just had a concussion. Walton is injured. Your assuming that the Lakers team would stay healthy for 82 games. If someone like Varajao gets injured, you have Hickson who can be an adequate replacement. Parker or West goes down, you still have Moon and Gibson, and vice versa. Factor in injurys and you get a Lakers team that would be a sure lottery team in the West.

Look at the Rockets. Are they on pace for over 40 wins? I think so. You are still underrating the Cavs team, a team with solid defense and slashers CAN make the playoffs. And I said the Lakers wouldnt make the playoffs in the WEST, in the East they could because of how poorly that conference is. Part of your argument was the Cavs were horrible pre-Lebron..........seriously? Like 6 years ago with none of the players they have now except for maybe Z .

You must be joking right? The Lakers would be a borderline lottery team without Kobe. What do you honestly think would happen if our guard rotation was Vujacic/Brown/Farmar/Fisher? I can tell you have not watched very many Laker games. As soon as Kobe hits the bench, the other team goes on a huge run, we blow a huge lead, or we fall behind by 20 (once again, Cleveland game is an example). I know there is talent on the Lakers but outside of Kobe our guards are completely pathetic. Not to mention if you take Kobe off the Lakers you are left with ONE good defensive player, which is Artest. We would give up 110 PPG without Kobe. Not to mention the last second buzzer beaters and clutch overtime shots Kobe has given us this year, you could add 4 or 5 more losses just based on where we would be without his clutch performances. It still amazes me how Cavs players outside of Lebron are still so underrated. Did you forget Mo Williams was an all star last year? Hes playing even better this year, for most of their wins lately its been Mo Williams leading them to it. Not to mention how good of a defensive team they are, and they still have Shaq to throw the ball inside to. They also have shooters all over the court, everyone on their team is money on an open shot. Have you seen the Lakers shooters? Nobody outside of Kobe can hit an open shot this year, if you watched the games you would notice teams packing it in the paint and leaving guys wide open for bricks. It shows up in the numbers too, with Farmar, Vujacic, Fisher, Artest, all shooting extremely low percentages. Take Lebron off the Cavs, you have an athletic team who is terrific defensively and have guys that can create their own shot or make open 3's. Look at the Rockets for example, they are a playoff team in the West without a star player, but they play defense and make hustle plays. The Cavs would easily make the playoffs without Lebron, especially in the East. The Lakers would be in the lottery in the West without Kobe.

Cavs are 0-3 on his bday

Kobe should really win MVP. Where would we be without him, hes bailed us out with 2 come from behind game winners, + several high scoring/40 point games and clutch shots to bail us out in OT's on the road. Hes probably leading the league in scoring after tonight.

Pathetic. Just pathetic. We depend on Ron too much on defense. When hes not there, nobody even bothers to play it. Just pathetic!!!

5/17 for Lebron so far, yikes. Dude is takin advantage of his shooters though, 9 assists. Cavs continue to get solid overall scoring.

Ill watch this game just to see if Kobe does anything spectacular. Other then that it should be an easy win, we blew them out in Golden State earlier and were definitely not happy with how we have been playing as of late. Not a big game + good chance of a blow out. Im already looking towards the next game. Im sure we will find a way to screw it up and keep it close though.

Of course he goes to New York. Smh.

Wish he would come to LA, he said he always wants to play with YOU KNOW WHO. I dont think the problem here is coming off the bench, I think its mainly his minutes. Im sure he would take 25+ MPG off the bench to win a ring, a lot of teams could use him. Given his current situation he cant be too picky here. Also I dont see any small market teams considering to trade for him. His contract is too large, even if he is an expiring. The only team I could think of that would take his contract is the Knicks obviously, and they crave expirings.

Plz give us Artest for this game.

Tied for first with who? LA still has the best winning percentage, 2 games up on the Cavs. Boston has the 2nd best winning percentage. Im glad the Celtics lost, like I been saying they look really slow now a days.

Suns are making literally every jumper, what the hell are we supposed to do.

Kobe scores 30 in the 2nd half, Lakers win. Im not kiddin hes about to go nuts.

Bench is pathetic. Literally every game as soon as Kobe goes to the bench we start losing. Anyone that thinks this Lakers team without Kobe can make the playoffs is absolutely retarded to the max.

We wont have Ron for this game . That might be bad because he can keep JRich and some other guys in check, more defensive pressure from Kobe. The bigs will have to play great tonight, and block/alter a lot of shots. Hopefully Kobe breaks 30+ to capture the scoring crown. We lose our thuglyfe wifout Ron Ron in da game

No sir. As Kobe said years ago, its not even a rivalry, they have to beat us first in order to be a rivalry. We beat them countless times in playoff series and they never had any retalliaton. And besides, those were the days of C-Webb, Bibby, Christie, Peja, they were bad boys that could keep up with the Lakers. Nowadays guys like Spencer Hawes, Beno Udrih, and Tyreke Evans cant really create a competition with the Lakers. They need an established superstar or some solid veterans to make it a one sided rivalry again.

Funny, Kobe beating Lebron both times last year didnt seem to hurt Lebrons MVP chances.

The Cavs could make the playoffs. They play solid defense, look at how the Rockets are doing in the Western Conference without a star player, I think the Cavs would be like them. People underrate Lebrons team so much, its funny. Its not like hes got guys like Smush and Kwame out there. Hes got an all star in Mo Williams, great defenders in Varejao, Parker, Moon. Hes got shooters all over the court, fundamentally sound big men. The Lakers without Kobe are a joke, dont even go there. Do you honestly think we could survive without him? Imagine Farmar,Vujacic, Morrison playing heavy minutes on a team without Kobe, that team would be under .500 . Lately Kobe has had to play 45+ minutes just for us to squeak out a W. As far as the MVP race, its close but I still think its Kobe. Hel probably lead the league in scoring this year, and his defense has been phenomenal.

C's will be tired and dissapointed after the loss last night, but they might come out with a vengeance and win big. But they should have problems without Pierce again, the Warriors are not a fun team to play after a back to back, especially when your team is pretty slow to begin with.

BINGO!!!! Ahahahah wowwwww.
