    Cry, Baby, Cry

    By Chris Mottram | May 7, 2008

    LeBron’s performance last night was the stuff champions are made of. Let’s review: 2-for-18, 10 turnovers, four “King James” bracelets, one missed game-tying layup, and infinite Nelson-voiced “HA HA”s at the sight of this:

    And, yes, we know that no amount of schedenfreud is going to bing the Wizards back to the playoffs. But this is probably second best.

      Close, Chris. It’s “schadenfreude.”

      And the game last night was completely unwatchable. If the whole series is like this it’s gonna be a major letdown.

      Dammit. Google search recognized “schedenfreud.” You knew what I meant…

      Yeah. That was fucking brutal last night. At least in good news, the Celtics aren’t that great.

      He is such a crybaby. See Mike Jones’ analysis on Lebron: http://video1.washingtontimes.com/outlet/2008/05/lebron_james_has_work_to_do.html

      My favorite part: “He needs to work on his toughness. I know you’ve got to do a bit of acting to get calls, but come on! In the Boston game last night, little ole Sam Cassell was called for a flagrant foul. Yes! 6-3, 185-pound SAM I AM a flagrant on big bad LeBron. James came driving down the lane and Cassell reached out and grabbed his jersey from behind. What happened? James’ arms went flailing, legs went flying and he crashed to the ground and came up with what became a trademark move in the Wizards series: He was dabbing his lip and chin as if he got hit in the face. Uh, Sam grabbed you from BEHIND LeBron, and you landed on your backside. Your face is fine. For someone who says “I was built for this. I’m not 6-9, 260 pounds to shoot jumpers all night. I go to the hole and I create contact. Don’t ever think I’m the only person feeling that,” LBJ sure doesn’t carry himself with a whole lot of toughness when he thinks he can draw a foul.”

      I’m in agreeance with iamse7en.

      Also, LeBron’s new Nike commercial is terrible, though that’s not his fault.
