After seeing the finish to the Denver/ Thunder game, I think it may be safe to say that OKC is like the Lions- no matter what, they will always find a way to lose.
It's damn hard work finding a way to lose every night. The Lie-ons have provided the blueprint.
Excuse me while I interrupt the LBJ lovefest - Pistons won their 6th in a row yesterday, with Stuckey leading the way with 38 pts. (He had 40 pts. about a week ago, this kid may be the second coming of D. Wade!). Let me add that Wallace, McDyess, and Hamilton haven't played the last 3 games. included in this streak (without those three) was the win over this years "darlings" the Orlando Magic. Not gaining on the Cavs, though. Those guys just refuse to lose in their "house". I return you to the LBJ "lovefest".
The LBJ "lovefest" has gotten obnoxious already.Way over the top. You got a ways to go yet.
He has been "anointed" ...haven't you heard?!
He is THE greatest thing since slice bread to ever not win anything.....Then there is this kid down south, that HAS an NBA ring and is quietly....ssshhhhhhh......having an MVP type season......
...Oh yeah.....that team that acquired AI, has almost the same record as the Denver Billups.....
AND is struggling with a 6 game winning streak and starters missing....
James can't lead Cavs past Wizards, who win 80-77 - NBA - Yahoo! Sports
HD won't like that.
OTOH, great teams do have a stinker every now and then- last year's Celtics lost at home to the godawful Bobcats.

Ouch! Cavs played poorly and didn't deserve to win (despite Washington doing EVERYTHING they could in the 4th quarter to give the game away).
Wash dominated the boards today....we really missed big Z.
Questionable travelling call at the end of the game. While I think it was technically a travel, that call is NOT made 9/10 in the NBA....especially with the game on the line.
Celtics lose to the Knicks, 100-88. Celtics have now lost 4 out of 6, after starting the season 27-2.
What were the Vegas odds on the Celtics losing to the Knicks, and BC going into Chapel Hill and beating the #1 Heels.........all on the same night???

And the Cavs losing to the Wiz. A lot of unthinkable upsets in the Basketball world on Sunday.
Very questionable. According to NBA rules, you get two steps before calling a traveling violation. I saw LBJ take two steps, no more.
With that said, it shouldn't have come down to that. We were way to lethargic yesterday.
What? when did that happen? One step and the ball has to hit the floor on the second step. Two steps is the "Jordan Rule", that applies only to superstars. In this case LeBron shouldn't have been called.
Mere mortals are limited to one step without a dribble.

Traveling= More than 2 steps from running position and more than 1 step from standing position.
According to the Official Rules of the National Basketball Association, Rule No. 10: Violations and Penalties Section XIV-Traveling:
"A player who receives the ball while he is progressing or upon completion of a dribble, may use a two count rhythm in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball".
Also same rules state that "A player who receives the ball while standing still may pivot, using either foot as the pivot foot." Which means that you are allowed to make only 1 step from a standing position without lifting second leg, which is called pivot.
Well, if LeBron took 2 steps the play was not traveling. I'll have to watch the play again to count his steps.
Perhaps the refs felt bad for the poor widdle Wizards they had to bend the rules to keep them from chasing the Thunder for history?
Think they caught our boy taking a trip man. Thats ok. Thats ok. Big game is Friday!
