So what do you think of LeBron James inn his first playoff game ever?

I want to start by saying that there is no such thing as luck in the NBA. Yes, what LeBron James did was amazing, and you will most likely see this the rest of the series, and possibly the rest of the playoffs. He is averaging 26.1 points, 6.4 assists, and 7.0 rebounds in 11 career games against the Washington Wizards. (Just to correct you he is the THIRD person in NBA History to have a triple-double in playoff debut, Magic Johnson 13 points, 12 assists, and 16 rebounds on April 8th 1980. The other was Johnny McCarthy 13 points, 11 assists, and 11 rebounds on March 16, 1960.) There is no doubt that he shouldn't get M-V-P, what would Cleveland be withouth him?

Miami Heat will take it all home in Game 6. Miami wasn't playin' at their best last night and they still won, and Dallas playin' at their hardest still lost... The only reason Dallas is in the playoffs is b/c they fouled their selves there.\n\nGo Miami Heat!! The 06 NBA Champs!! Go Miami Heat!!\nGo Miami Heat!! The 06 NBA Champs!!

Dont get me wrong Lebron is an amazing player. But Kobe is on a different level. Kobe and him can both score whenever they want to.  \n\n        But the thing Kobe is doing in the playoffs is amazing. By sharing the ball all the other players are playing great. Lamar Odom, Smush Parker, Luke Walton, Kwame Brown. I think a trait that all great players have is to make other players better. Lets look at ball hog Kobe he scored 40 a nite but they got 7th seed. Lets look at playoff Kobe. Winning a series to the 2nd seed in the West. \n\n         Lebron amazes me by how good he is already. He is the 2nd best guard in the league at age 21. He has 10 years left of basketball and he has already surpassed the talent of some greats. I think he does not have anyone to help him it is just the Lebron Show. Lebron gets better every year and he always adds something to his repeteur. This year he became a great shooter. \n\n          They are both outstanding guards. But I give Kobe my vote because of his experience and ability to perform in crunch time.

Haha would you rather have a guy who CAN'T play unless he touches the rock every time down, or a guy who puts his TEAM first. LeBron is the best player in the league (I am a diehard Celtics fan, so I am unbiased), He brought the damn Cavs to the playoffs. Didn't the Cavs have less than 30 wins the year before he started playing with them? He maked players better around him, and he does score a lot, but he shoots over 50%. Iverson can sccore 30, but it takes him 25 shots to do it. Mark my words, LeBron will score 35 points a game. He gets to the line with ease, and he involves others around him. If they can get another scorer-type or a board banger, watch out.

Undoubtedly,  The west, at this point, is probably the strongest any conference has ever been.  First let me say that Dallas is playing as good as any team can be expected.  Not only have they stolen the NBA championship from the best team in basketball, (The San Antonio Spurs)  they even stole their coach from the Spurs.  Just joking !!!!  I am a Spurs fan but since they lost to Dallas, In what is probably the best series of the entire finals including the championship series, I have to pull for the Mavs all the way.  Keep it in TEXAS.  Maimi is 2nd rate to say the least.  Shack has seen his better days and should get out before he makes a bum out of himself.  As for Wade, he has all of the tools to become a real super star but not with the talent in Miami.  If anyone doubts the superiority of the western conference, just watch it next year.  #1 - Phoenix will have Stoudemar back.  #2 - The Clippers will only be better.  #3 - San Antonio is just one center away from being virtually unbeatable.  #4 Dallas will be the reigning NBA champs.  The Eastern Conference #1 - Ben Wallace will leave Detroit.  #2 Shaq will continue to deteriorate.  #3 - LaBron James can't do it all by himself.  #4 - Is there anyone else in the East worth mentioning?  Parity will be a long time coming.

Steve Nash, Lebron James, and Kobe seem to be the front runners for the MVP.  I also think Lebron should win it, and that he is the only reason the Nest winning streak ended.

"Bump" to that!!! I practically grew up dribbling; and basketball is the ONLY sport I'll follow and play! The NBA playoffs? Haven't missed a game! Gotta love it...! =)

LeBron is going to develop into an even better player than he already is. Anderson Varejao showed some real promise in the postseason. Flip was the biggest steal of this season, We only traded away Mike Wilks for him. Larry Hughes missed 40+ games, he'll be healthy next season. Our big men are still solid, Z, Gooden, and Marshal. Our biggest need this season is a good point guard. I don't care how much experience Eric Snow has, he sucks. Maybe we could trade up in the draft, and get another great shooter like J.J. Providing that they get a good seed next year for the playoffs. They could easily make the Eastern Conference Finals, and possibly the NBA Finals. Go Cavs!

It was beautiful - Kobe tried to win it by himself, and of course the Lakers lost.  It was also great to see Jack Nicholson trying to put a useless hex on the Suns - he is the next most annoying Laker after Kobe!  I hope Kobe goes for 60 points the next game.  \n\nBut enough of Kobe.  The Suns were awesome - what a gritty effort with so many things going against them.  That's what a championship team does.  Go Suns, believe in yourselves!!!

What???????? Why are you comparing the greatist of all time to him? MJ scored 69 points in a playoff game, back to back 50 point games in the play offs this is when he was lebrons age

Lebron will become the MVP best active player in basketball. Fills all stats points assists, steals, rebounds, blocks. He leads the Cavs and they are doing better now then I could ever remember before.\nWade Is great for points and steals. I think that D Wade is in the top 5 of active players.\nI think it will be ! win Cavs and 1 win for the Detroit.\nthe scores will be 95 (cavs) 92 (Detroit)\n85 (cavs) 88 (Detroit)

I've been asking myself the same question ever since the season began.\n\nI think Lebron has huge chances. The Cavs are doing good and basically, they depend on Lebron to do almost everything. Cavs are a team of nobodies, and if Lebron does have a 52+ win season averaging 29/6/6, He will be a shoe-in for MVP. If not, blame the judges.\n\nOther players I consider for the MVP award are: Dirk Nowitzki, Dallas; Steve Nash, Phoenix (He's got the assist stat owned so why not); Carlos Boozer, Utah (guy's been really good this year); Dwyane Wade (Wade's still the same high-powered scoring offensive beast out on the court, but his team isn't doing so well); and Tim Duncan (Probably another best record in the NBA. If Duncan keeps up his 22/12/3 effort, He could be a deadly candidate); Yao Ming (He's shown he deserved the first overall draft pick selection and he is healthy); and Kobe Bryant (Im still doubtful about this; hope Kobe returns to his 81-point form, but with more assists).\n\nThat's all I got. I still think LBJ will get it all.

Nope. All Wrong. \n\n1. This takes away the excitement of the first round, teams on the bubble of .500 or lower won't play as hard to provide upsets while trying to make it to the playoffs. Not too mention, it'll just make the NBA Playoffs shoot by way quickly... us NBA fans would consider that horrible. Did you realize that the Lakers and the Kings (7th & 8th seeds) gave the entire NBA a scare when they came extremely close to upsetting the Spurs and Suns (1st & 2nd seed)? This is why we watch and love playoff contigency. As a matter of fact, this is why fans of teams that don't make it to the playoffs still love watching the playoffs even though their teams  aren't in it!\n\n2) When a team wins their division, they are granted a certain amount of money to contribute to their salary for the next year. If they win the championships the get more money. However, they in turn get low draft picks. Check out teams like the Spurs, with an arsenal of seasoned players. That's why hey stick around.\n\n3) they get money. If 1st placers have the first round off, it just gets them much closer to winning it all. I bet it would be a 90% winning chance that 1st placers would make it all the way through... NOT EXCITING. Most of the good games would be played in the first round anyway between 4-5 and 3-6 teams. NBA would lose viewers after that, especially a 5 game series NOT FUN.\n\nIt just comes down to what would be more exciting... and when and where in the playoffs the MOST excitement would happen.\n\nCollege Football BCS however.... that sh*t needs help.

Lebron James is a godsend for the Cleveland Cavs. He is only 21 and look at his playing ability - he took the strongest team in the league i.e. the pistons to 7 games and had an opportunity to defeat them after a 3-2 series lead. When his career is over he will certainly be better than Kobe and maybe even surpass the best player ever i.e. Michael Jordan
