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 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.

I also hate that they don't make more diesel models to sell in the US. Why only the Jetta and the minivan thing? Why, VW, why??
