And the hoopla begins...


LeBron James just dropped yet another triple double last night with 27 points 19 boards and 10 dimes but the unusual 9 turnovers were what made the otherwise great game, tainted. many may believe that LeBron wasn't the player we have seen all season, that's true. The grind to go through an 82 game season and be "THE MAN" every single game has to be grueling. His teammates are a cast of players that do not fill the void for him, he needs to play with athletic talents that can excite him and get him motivated. Seeing Mo Williams and Delonte West dribble around the key and shoot fade-away jumpers that clang off the rim is not motivating. Sure Mo dropped 20 in the first half but where was he in the second? 2 freaking points, be a pro Mo! When LeBron needed a supporting cast he got nothing, Cleveland might think they have done all they could, but it wasn't enough. They should have got Amare, instead they got Jamison, a solid player but he should be a fourth or fifth option where as on this team he was the second or third. After a very disappointing end to the season I would not be surprised to see LeBron leave. A fresh start might be exactly what he needs and the feeling I get is he is reluctant to go back to Cleveland. If he wasn't he would declare that he would stay, Lebron is a loyal guy but that doesnt mean he is going to stay in Cleveland. In my opinion Chicago is the perfect fit. The Bulls have a young star in Derrick Rose who runs the point, plays fast, and as a two man fast break Lebron and D.Rose would be the best in the league. With Noah, Gibson, Deng, and James Johnson as hard nosed roll players this could be exactly what Lebron needs. Many believed that because he filed to switch his number in the middle of the year to 6 in honor of Michael Jordan that he was doing so to stay in Cleveland. Perhaps Lebron was setting a precursor that he was contemplating the move to Chicago and wanted to assure those fans that there is and will always be only one 23. So get ready for all the speculation and rumors, it begins today and will go everyday until July 1. HERE WE GO!
