This is gonna be a very interesting series. Lebron James is going to own Gilbert Arenas! I say the Cavaliers in 5 games.

yea i gotta agree 5 sounds ritee

[STYLEgod]

Cavs win game 1, LeBron gets triple double! 32 pts, 11 assists, 10 rebounds!
97-86 is the final score.

Gilbert Arenas has fouled out. 26 pts, but with 17 pts in the 4th...

I think King James was engineered by the NBA to be the next marketable player after MJ. Kobe was a prototype, because well the rape charges hurt his marketability > bad programming. I mean come on now, a triple double in his NBA debut. I'm sure he's going to have multiple triple doubles in the playoffs at this this rate. All the past views on James not having the killer instinct and fire that MJ and KB has will be thrown on out the window after the playoffs.

[STYLEgod]

Ya that was crazy... if AJamison banks 8 more pts he would have finished with 40 pts and if LHughes (former Wiz) pitchs in 6 more pts he would have gotten 30 pts... I would shit in my pants to see that kind of result! Along with GArenas with 44 pts and LJames with 45 pts. I can't wait for their next game tomorow buddy!

[nycballa88]

[STYLEgod]

Game 6: Another OT after Arenas shot the 3 within 2 seconds left. Craziness.. 107 all at the end of the regulation. Cavs leading 112-111 over the Wizards...

[nycballa88]

wtf Arenas i hate him soo much, was goin crazy. fuckin wats his name pased in the ball before the timeout. dickface

[nycballa88]

Eric Snow should just die right now

[nycballa88]

Damon Jones is the man, i love him. he came outta nowhere.

[STYLEgod]

:razz:

What a game! The Cavs Jones shot the GW basket to end it at 115-112. Poor Arenas... he missed both of his shots and did you see how LJames came up to him before Arenas missed his 2nd shot? Well I guess they are buddies off court.. but seriously I enjoy this series more beside Lakers/Suns. Pistons/Bucks and Mavericks/Grizzlies series were soo boring!

[STYLEgod]

Haha.. and I just found out what LJames said to Arenas before he missed his 2nd freethrows... "If you miss both of these, you're done...It's over, you're going home. You know it and I know it." :lol:

DAMN! Haha.. but in Game 5, Arenas went up to LJames and told him that he stole his game. :lol:

They were the top 2 scorers in the playoffs..
LBJ - 35.7
GA - 34.0

Now I can not wait to see the Cavs against the Pistons!
