at this point it doesn't matter what he does. what lebron needs to do is take care of business in this years finals and most of this will go away. and may i add not disappear in the 4th quarter.

Great point. Not only that, there isn't the legit hate that use to go on 10 to 20 years ago. The players have the same agents, sponsors and charity events together. The all buddies off the court. I highly doubt they would be friends off the court and try to destroy how they feed the and take care of their loved ones.
ESPN reported that the Knicks plan a 10 man rotation.They need to find away to divert the attention of the other teams now away from Jeremy Lin,because it seems now,as the Heat proved,among others,that if you pressure Lin & contain him,the Knicks offense stalls badly. This is when Carmelo,JR Smith,& Baron Davis(among others) need to up their game & take the attention away from Lin,& then maybe their offense will pick up.
More accurately, they proved that if Dwayne Wade and Lebron James pressure him, the Kincks offense stalls badly. That advice might be like the old baseball scouting report that said, of each player, that Sandy Koufax struck him out with fastballs.
Lebron nor Wade never covered him during the game, it was ALL Chalmers and Norris...the entire game.
The Heat did not do anything different other than attack Lin early and force him to his left...something he did NOT like.
Maybe once the rust comes off of Baron Davis,the Knicks can do things like maybe occasionally having Lin & Davis in the backcourt at the same time during the game. That way if one sputters,the other will pick up the slack. The Knicks have a very intriguing team,if they can just jell together,the possibilities are endless.

Could be...but between the both of them, they went 1 for 18 if I read correctly.
BillD1984 said:Team A is 15-17 and "irrelevant" and Team B is 13-18 and their "future is bright" LOL
And oh, the Celtics may suck now and even through the next 10 years, but like the Yankees, Canadiens, Lakers and Steelers, they will NEVER be "irrelevant". That's what happens after 17 championships.
Great win on the road by the "irrelevant" team over the team that has a "bright future". ;-)
As much as I respectfully hate the Celtics, they are still good enough and smart enough to beat anyone...AND they have a good long winning streak left in them.
How about Brook Lopez's 38 points to lead the NETS over the Mavs...
Orlando...are you watching?

yeah. they need to pull the trigger already and get something for howard. and i'm not sure what's out there that the lakers would want to trade for to help kobe. and getting rid of gasol and bynum in a trade isn't really the answer since howard is out of the question for the lakers.
and how about the way espn continues to hype the game on sunday between the lakers and the heat ?
give it a rest already.

THE best offer I heard was from the Lakers where SUPPOSEDLY they offer Byum AND Gasol. IF that were the case, I would do it in a New York City minute!
I totally agree. That move was AWFUL and it seem liked a trade just to make a trade..with no rhyme or reason.
the thing is howard already said he wouldn't resign with the lakers so they have to look at other options. i just don't know what other options are out there that are worthy for the lakers.
I found this and found it very interesting regarding ALL the hate going toward Wade and his supposed dirty play:
Kobe Bryant crosses line between hard-nosed and dirty play - Steve Aschburner - SI.com
According to the column, Kobe is quite the dirty player himself, based on the reviews by his peers in the NBA. So MAYBE, there was something to cheap shots PRIOR to the Wade foul.
EDIT: Hmmm...

Someone writing for a Boston paper said that a trade involving Pau Gasol and Rajon Rondo was doable. It would be a river boat gamble, because some young, inexperienced Celtic player would have to play some serious minutes at point guard. I'd say that, for this year, the Celtics would have to utilize Paul Pierce as a point forward to have a functional offense.
Rondo may be the ultimate "pleasant surprise" player, but he will never be an NBA shooter. At the end of the game against Cleveland last night, I felt sick when he got the ball with fifteen seconds left because the chances of him making 2 of 2 foul shots is 25%, but Cleveland made a poor strategic choice and didn't foul him.
You can't build the next Celtic team around a watchamacalliit who can't shoot. Rondo is only a star in certain systems. If the Lakers think he fits theirs right now, then that is where he should be shipped.

Uh oh...
The Boston Celtics are aggressively trying to trade Rajon Rondo, their fourth-leading scorer and one of the NBA's best point guards, sources told ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard.
The Celtics find Rondo's personality to be too high-maintenance and his clashes with coach Doc Rivers remain an off-court distraction, sources told Broussard, and the front office is now actively pitching him to other teams. With the Celtics realizing they are no longer title contenders, they don't believe his point guard prowess is worth the headaches Rondo brings, sources say. And they do not want to build around him.
