Did you guys see that obnoxious LeBron Nike commercial during half-time. It was a minute long; all about "what will I be?" A hero? A Villain? Blah, blah, blah.... arrogance beyond arrogance. Sure was fun to see the three stooges get beat.
Ramy.. so since TNT did show the ring presentation, did ya see it?
That was so last year bro. Quit living in the past!
He wouldn't be wrong in that description, at least to start the game. Miami scored just nine points in the first quarter, and 30 overall in the first half, fewer points than they scored in any quarter or half during all of 2009-10. And that team was filled with spare parts and expiring contracts.

HEHE, Hey how ya holding up HD ... long time I don't see u posting here. Can we be friends in 2011
Everyone’s favorite sweater-wearing Cavs announcer has had a rough couple of weeks medically. After going to the hospital in Houston with pneumonia, doctors discovered problems with Joe Tait’s heart. Tait is expected to miss the bulk of this basketball season – his 39th – which was also supposed to be his retirement tour.
The team reported yesterday that Tait underwent catheterization, which is a partially diagnostic procedure. Depending on how this surgery goes, doctors determine what else needs to be done. In Joe Tait’s case, the diagnosis is a double bypass and aortic valve replacement scheduled for next week.
There is good and bad news in all this. First of all, it is good that Tait ended up in that hospital in Houston so they found out all his ailments. On the other side though, it isn’t exactly providing Tait and all his fans around the area a chance to say goodbye to the legendary voice of the Cavaliers on his and their own terms. I know I for one was looking forward to another year of “Wham with the right hand!” and DiGiorno Pizza plugs.
As of right now, you have to be skeptical that he steps back behind the mic anytime this season, but I am hopeful he can make it back for some sort of “last hurrah.” I wrote about how there could never be another Nev Chandler in relation to the Browns a few weeks ago. Make no mistake Joe Tait does have some detractors out there. I am not one of them, though. I am guessing that after a few years, no matter how good Joe Tait’s replacement, I will be saying the same thing about Tait that I said about Nev Chandler.
Thoughts and prayers to one of the best announcers in Cleveland Sports history...
When the Heat hit there shots they will be dangerous, but as seen last night when things are not falling and no inside post scoring, that when they may have some trouble
1. A year ago I mentioned how good Marquis Daniels looked against the Cavs on opening night, then he became irrelevant. Not going to fall into that same trap again (but he did look good). He's definitely an enigma. His problem throughout his career is durability. dude can't seem to stay on the court
5. The Celtics get weird sometimes on offense. There was a stretch where they were up 12 or so and Garnett took an ill-advised contested two from the corner, Rondo missed on a wild layup, and Garnett missed two foul shots. Miami instantly back in the game. It happened in the playoffs sometimes last year, too. They had issues closing out games last season........just like their friends to the Southwest- the Patriots
11. REALLY looking forward to watching Blake Griffin finally play tonight. Word is he has been a beast during the preseason. Looking forward to seeing Oklahoma City, too. Me too!!
14. TNT is an 8, ESPN is a 2. TNT is a 9.5 to ESPN's 0.5
15. The Celtics and Miami could both easily finish north of 65 wins. There are so many bad teams in the east, and I have a feeling the Knicks will be one of them. I agree with Miami, but not the Celtics. The C's will coast to approx 55 wins, and coast into the playoffs.

Woah, wait a minute. Now you're insulting my city? Cleveland isn't a "hick town"! You and LeBoob deserve eachother.
Agreed. Miami has issues on the interior. Big issues. And the long necked Bosh is NOT a post up player. At all. Guess it only took one game to shine a big bright light on a glaring hole in the self titled "Big 3".
"Big Dud" is more like it! LOL!!!
be nice and I'll consider it.
