Very good NBA starter
Re: Why do some coaches refuse to double LeBron, Kobe etc. at the end of games?
Why not double off Luke Walton? The guy can't make an open jumper or a layup. I just hate to see teams change their strategy that had been working all game. Glad the Lakers won but the Kings totally folded...

Bingo. Either great Laker defense or a really inept Kings offense really won it for the Lakers because since the Kings were unable to score in the half-court, the Lakers pushed after every rebound and turnover.

Look at the Kings game last night. They were swarming Kobe all game with success but in the 4th, Kobe was allowed to play 1 on 1. How does this make any sense?
They DID come at Kobe hard in the 4th. He was not pure 1 on 1... at least, as he got closer to the paint they jumped on him. When he was out on the perimeter, Artest was guarding him... and doing a good job, too.

Exactly. Help only came when it was too late. The defense was pretty bad. But what really hurt them was the Lakers' transition game.

2nd Greatest Player
Lebron James and Kobe Bryant C0 MVP of the regular season
For the first time in the history of the NBA i personally think that the NBA Should give the awards to these 2 great NBA players because they are playing one of the best rivalry of all time, and i do not want to see their fans argue at the end of the season because i personally think that both of them are playing on a higher level that are far Superior than the last 4 MVP Winners in the NBA.

Where Eagles Dare
Re: Lebron James and Kobe Bryant C0 MVP of the regular season
NOOOOOOO. You're not a real LeBron fan. And to think, I once respected you. Actually, it's nice to see someone who's showing an unbiased attitude.
I think it'd be awesome if none of Paul, Kobe or LeBron won it. That'd cause some trouble.

What he said. Lebron will win no type of award this year with his team record. But there is always "where tomorrow happens", tomorrow being next year.

I still believe that the Cavaliers will finished the season with 50 or more wins in the regular season because Z, Gibson, and Sasha would be back next week, and the way he carries this team speaks for itself the Cavs won 21 games in the 29 games they played this year.
Lebron This year > Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash ( if you still believe that both of this guys are still better than LBJ you must be joking.)

Who gives a damn? You can't be the MVP of the league if your team would not even make the playoffs in the other conference. Hell, his teams record is, what, 13th in the league?

Record wise, the Cavs have fared well against the west.

They still would not be in the playoffs right now in the West. I'm not hating on LBJ, the guy is absolutely amazing, but there is a criteria....
