Questions
 

1. So, when the Cavs got smoked last game, Lebron kind of disappeared. His shot was clearly off and he just wasn't very aggressive. The rumors are flying and all the Cleveland fans are pissed off. Did he do it on purpose to make sure he can walk next year because he can't win in Cleveland? Is he not a true leader? Hate and anger that all seems tied to a preemptive strike by Cleveland fans so their hearts aren't broke if he leaves.

I tend to think this is all bullshit. Guy had a bad game. Sometimes that happens. I wonder if, when he wasn't playing well, he wanted to see if his teammates could do anything at all without him. Not in a "I'm going to sit this one out way," but more in a "let me pass the ball around since I'm not hitting and see if what we got." Of course he realized the Cavs are a 50 loss team (probably worse than the Knicks) without him. And that realization makes me believe he's leaving Cleveland (and not necessarily for NY). Thoughts?

2. Is anyone else as annoyed with these new Volkswagen commercials as me? You don't get to punch someone whenever a frickin' Volkswagen goes by. It's called "Punch Buggy" for a reason. If I were going to buy one, this ad campaign would keep me from doing so.

I don't buy he tanked on prpose so he'll lose so he can go somewhere else where he could win. At most, in the middle of an off night he looked for help, knowing even if they get by Boston they ain't winning w/o it. is the theory you've heard that he knows they can't win so why try? That doesn't seem his style at all. or is the theory he thinks maybe they could win, but then he'd have a harder time leaving- I don't buy that for two reasons- after a ring is the easiest time for him to go, but moreso, no way he'd blow a chance for the ring. it's too rare when things come together.

I'm beginning to wonder if you might have some anger issues.

It's this tiger. It's really pissing him off.

I don't buy it either. And the theories are all sports talk crap floated in articles and espn to get people to tune in or buy or whatever.

The strange thing was his performance was so out of character. He knows when his jump shot is broken that he should just drive and he almost always does. He's almost guaranteed to score or get fouled and he can choose to kick it to one of 3 open guys on his team whenever he has the ball. These guys can't do anything without him.

He wouldn't have gone so hard in the regular season only to give up during Game 5 against a team he knows he can beat. It's a ridiculous argument. But at least he knows exactly how Cleveland fans feel about him now.

Okay, Mr. I'll send you a device that allows you to stab people over the internet. I'm still waiting for that, by the way.

Re: Questions
 

It's a bogus theory but his performance was more than off on the jumpers. He looked plain out of it. Wandering around out of the play, away from the ball. If you're not shooting well, don't you at least play a passing role or get in the mix to force the defense at least to acknowledge you?

For one thing, because walleye comes out fo the Great Lakes. I'll leave you to wrestle with the obvious.

I have done both. Repeatedly. I would be hard-pressed to declare one superior to the other. Both have their charms.

That was such a beautiful sttraight line. I really wanted to grab it. But instead, I decided to leav alone in all its pristine, naive innocence.

Thanks. But next time, take your hand off your penis before you respond -- it affects your typing.
