Awesome!

I never heard that. LBJ is moving into the Chuck Norris territory.

Hopefully LeBron is at full strength for the Celtics.

If he doesn’t win it this year I think its actually a good thing since he said he “wont leave cleaveland until he brings a chamionship here”. Resigning in the offseason for another three years is worth sacrificing this year IMO.

aaaaaagh!

That was a sound of frustration.
I have never liked one of your comments or posts. Maybe he should get injured this year so that he won’t leave and win it all next year. Then he’d truly be great. You’d like that wouldn’t you?
Also, I don’t know what you’re quoting, but I seriously doubt that the spelling was as horrible as you make it out to be.

You WISH that were the case.

AND, AP3604…what, exactly, is your damage?

You come over here saying ‘Go Cavs!’ etc. and then I see you over on Bulls and Magic game threads sh!t-talking them…is your life so empty that you have to try and make internet friends by pretending to like every team who’s board your currently on and MFing the other ones?

That’s pretty weird, honestly.

Sorry johnnyphoenix, I don’t feed trolls, especially ones that have habits of looking through my profile for quotes to use against me every time I make a comment.

This is a family computer and my brothers and I like different teams. If they want to talk about their favorite teams (Magic, Mavs) more power to them.

You're one to talk

Injury my ass…

Not sure if I buy that but ohkaaaay there chachi
I visit different team game threads alot and happen to see you pop up quite a bit, with your fanpost history it’s not hard to remember who you are…

Speaking of that, since we’re on the subject, which ‘brother’ came up with the ‘Lebron injury scenario’ on our blog and blogabull? The one who likes the magic, bulls, cavs, or knicks?

I’m guessing probably whichever one isn’t on at the time, huh

That's a load of crap and a horrible excuse.

Just because you have a family computer doesn’t mean you only have to have one account. Does your family share 1 email address? 1 Facebook account? NO! Then why on earth would you have 1 FTS account name? BS your way outta that one genius. Please take your time thinking of a better excuse. I’m personally offended that you think the other bloggers and I are so stupid as to beleive your negative trash and ridiculous excuses.
I will thank you for one thing though. It’s early in the morning for me and I hadn’t fully woken up yet. But the things you post always manage to get my blood boiling.

..it was also kind of him to be magnanimous and thank the blazers fans for a good series coming from a ‘suns’ fan. So we might have ‘another’ ~~brother~~ (multiple personality).

Anyways, if I had a brother who was a magic, celtics, or Knick fan, no matter what my relationship was with him I am damn sure he ain’t gonna be using my userID to do it. lol I’m not gonna let him roll my name around in sh!t by stroking those teams boards. That’s like being Soviet Russia and having a brother who’s a fan of ‘Nazi Germany.’ It would constitute high treason on his part. lol

Just because I wasn't too familiar with the olecranon...

that helped me out at least. Sounds uncomfortable, but nothing serious.

Thanks for the link. I was just wondering about it myself.

maybe this elbow injury can be somewhat of a blessing

in that it will make him think twice about shooting 3s and take that midrange jumper, post up more, and drive to the hole more!

by inquisitiveman on Apr 29, 2010 10:27 PM CDT reply actions

I think LeBron has a free pass to take 3's if he wants =P

Once I saw the mid-court shot against the bulls I was sold!

But if anything he would probably settle for more long range shots since contact will aggravate the injury more.

by ap3604 on Apr 29, 2010 10:33 PM CDT up reply actions

Just read the article on his elbow and this is what he said...

“"If I am limited during the game, then I’ll be smart about it," James said. "That’s what I was able to do in Game 5. I was very limited in shooting long-range shots, so I started going to the hole in the fourth quarter”

Sounds encouraging.
