I'm excited for this game and series to start

Mike Tirico will see his boy go up against quite a tough team (even when he's not announcing)

Lebron has the ball in his hands 90% of the possessions. That causes the offense to stagnate. While Pierce is playing all-NBA defense this year.

Lebron is a great player, but not the king, Kobe is the king. Lebron is the prince.

Pierce will get spanked but not by much. Pierce will get 20/6/5 on him, and keep Lebron to 28/8/7 in my opinion.

Our offense is limited because we have limited players. That's why LeBron has to dominate the ball. He would be much effective if he had another all-star caliber player who can take the pressure off of him. This offensive system is not LeBron's fault and it doesn't fit to LeBron's game at all. But there's nothing to do we have to be contented with that.

And LeBron is the King, Kobe is the black mamba. It's just a nickname!

The cav's are the definition of a playoff team. Really good Defense, great rebounding, good shooters and a superstar. They might not bring it every time in the regular season, but i for one would not be surprised to see them make a repeat trip to the finals.

Ugly so far. Although LeBron looks like he's going to really, really bring it tonight.
